Hello Friends,

Very ordinary card framed for the first classic day of the season.Here are my selections and choices for the day.

RACE 1]
As usual firsr race begins with class VB contestants.This race should be a close contest between trio of New Star,St.Barts and Song Of Africa.
New Star still a unexposed,maiden after 7 starts so far has been worked and hasgiven one suggestive run in race no 22 at Pune over 5 furlongs.Now for the first time he is getting good jockey on board should run a good race with a run under his belt.
St.Barts now demoted,is tracking fine,has shown improvement over sprints in his last two starts at Pune and has a strong chance to win in this weak field. 
Song Of Africa finished good third in his earlier start this season where she entered along the fence in a rough passage and jockey reported the loss of his whip near the winning post.Has a form and fitness advantage over others and should run a good race. 

My Selections: St.Barts, Song Of Africa, New Star.
My Choice: ST.BARTS for win.

RACE 2]
Another class VB race.I would like to skip this race as non of the runners are worth for betting except LaurusTikati who showed some positive signs in her start over same trip and has a good chance to finally shed her maiden tag .

My Choice: LAURUS TIKATI Each Way.

RACE 3] 
This race seem to be a close contest between Manyatta and Scarlet Pimpernal.
Manyatta after running two races earlier this season against Alandair and Silver Arrow respectively is showing good form and fitness and looks to run a big race.
Scarlet Pimpernal has been out of form since last few months but his close fourth behind Clinton in his last start where he was slow out was  notable.Is blazing in morning trials and looks a big danger to Manyatta.

My Selections: Scarlet Pimpernal , Manyatta.
My  Choice: SCARLET PIMPERNAL

RACE 4]
Victorious March a fluent winner in his last start looks in fine form but has huge penalty to defy.
Port Blair may place.
Rio is a very speedy 3 yrs old may struggle over the long Mumbai stretch,may go close.
Way Out is now poised to complete a hatrick is been prepared very well in the morning trials and looks a leading contender with Sandesh astride.
Deep Diver wil find this trip to be sharp but can spring a surprise t this low weights.

My Selections: Way Out, Port Blair, Rio.
My Choice: WAY OUT for win.

RACE 5] Preference given to 3 yrs old only as older horses does not impress for win.
Ultrasonic a winner in this class now returning back to handicap race after running in terms race is working well and may upset with J.Fortune on board.
Yellow Zone trailed off badly in her last two starts,could not be ignored over here as she is class wise better
than the rest and if she shows her earlier form,than she merits a strong consideration.
Trisara won in a good style,now on promotion,seems to have come in hand gradually and can repeat  under penalty.
Victoria Falls is a well bred filly who won her debut race very impressively is tracking fine and looks a strong contender.

My Selections: Trisara,Yellow Zone,Victoria Falls.
My Choice: TRISARA for win. YELLOW ZONE upset.

RACE 6] Dreams Of You failed favourite in her last start,looks tough for win over here as she is conceding weight to other 3 yrs old.
Pumba should be followed among older horses.
Demonic ran twice second  over same trip, now has handicap in favour,may strike over here.  
Giant Luck should improve in terms of his late finishing fourth in his last outing.
Other Song made her move too late in her last start over 1400m and should run a good race if stays the trip.
Penny Lane should find no difficulty over staying this trip as pedigree suggests she could go over this extended trip.     
Amazing Desire is tracking well and as the master trainer has entered her over mile and a quarter trip on debut than there should be less doubt on her staying capabilities and must be considered as an educative run.

My Selections: Demonic, Dreams Of You, Penny Lane.
My Choice: DEMONIC for win.

RACE 7] Feature event of the day,The Deltin Indian 1000 Guineas (Grade I)

Selections/Choices will be posted later.

BANGALORE 2000 GUINESS 14/12/2013

Hello Friends,
Ten well bred colts & geldings are competing in the Bangalore 2000 Guiness.Some are proven milers and some are yet to run over a mile trip.Out of which few have good chance to lift the trophy against remaining having slim chance,unless some one puts a brave effort to beat the main contenders.Here is my brief explanation and statistics of each contestant.
1] ALWAYS REMEMBERING (PLACERVILLE (USA)-TAMMIES TUNE(USA))
Still a maiden out of his two career starts,finished last 17 3/4 length behind the winner in his last start.Could not understand why the trainer has entered this horse at first.Anyways ignorable over here.

2] AMBITIOUS REWARD ( MULTIDIMENSIONAL (IRE)-STAR PERFECTION by STEINBECK[USA] OUT OF SANTORINI STAR)
Out of his six career starts Ambitious Reward has one thrice at 1200,1100 & 1400 respectively.In his last start over 1400m he won impressively by 2 lengths beating Diamond Quest,Kafka,Coolmore,Socrates to name a few.Only once ran over a mile trip in Hyderabad Colts Trial Stakes(sept 1,2013)  where he finished last by almost 20 lengths behind the winner Acclaimed.

3] INVINCIBLE PRINCE (INVINCIBLE SPIRIT -ROSSA DI RUGIADA(IRE) BY COLLEGE CHAPEL[GB] OUT OF KINNINCHA[FR]) 
Invincible Prince won twice and placed once from his 5 career starts.His last victory over 1400m was his best one where he made it look very easy against Whispering Gallery,Alfons De Borja,Beauty Is Truth etc, and confirmed that he is a top class horse with a bright future.

4] NABISCO (SENURE(USA) -IBERIAN  by Placerville[USA], out of
 Cambridge Ball[IRE], by Royal Academy, out of Boat Race, by Seattle Slew, out of Rosa Mundi, by
 Secretariat. [SIMON’S SHOES]
 IBERIAN won 5 races at 3 and 4 (1000 m. to 1200 m.),
Nabisco has won four races out of his five career starts,one over 1200m and three over 1400m which suggests that
he is a very good middle distance horse.His only run over a mile was in Mysore 2000 Guiness where he finished faraway seventh to Southern Emperor on soft going.

5] ROCK WITH U (NOVERRE(USA)-NOBLE EXCELLENCY by Alnasr Alwasheek out of Spectacular Blood by Placerville)
Rock With u has won five races out seven career starts,four over 1200m and one over 1400m.Now running for the first time a mile trip and his pedigree suggests he won't find any difficulty in staying over this distance.

6] SOUTHERN EMPEROR (PLACERVILLE (USA)-MYSTIC DANCER by Alnasr Alwasheek[GB], out of Mystic Memory, by Malvado[CAN], out of Divine Light, by Riyahi[IRE],
 out of Charenzaccio[FR], by Lorenzaccio. [SCHIAPARELLI]
 MYSTIC DANCER won 1 race at 3 (1200 m.),
The Impeccable Mysore 2000 Guiness and Derby Winner Southern Emperor is yet to lose a mile trip and is raring and fit to go and is the one,who all have to beat over here.

7] SOVEREIGN RULE (BURDEN OF PROOF(IRE) -QUEEN'S RULE(IND) by Riyahi out of Another Spirit by Malvado (CAN),
His dam Queens Rule won 1 race,and placed 3rd in Bangalore Oaks (Gr 1) is dam of SADDLE UP winner of 14 races in India,Malaysia and Singapore which includes Bangalore Derby,McDowell Indian St.Leger,Bangalore 2000 Guiness,Bangalore St.Leger,A.C.Ardeshir Trophy,Queen Elizabeth II Cup,Tunku Gold Cup and placed second in Indian Invitation Cup,The Stayers Cup,etc.
Lightly raced Sovereign Rule is an extensively bred, has won two races out of three career starts both over seven furlongs.His last victory confirmed an opinion that he is definitely headed towards the classics and with(probably)  Suraj Nareddu up will be a force to reckon over here and will be a strong contender over here.

8] SUPREME REGIME (MULTIDIMENSIONAL (IRE)-SILVER PRINT by Steinbeck out of Silver City(IND) by RAZEEN.)
Supreme Regime won twice over 1400m from nine career starts,will be right there if stablemate Southern Emperor falters.

9] TRIUMPHANT (HOLY ROMAN EMPEROR(IRE)-ALWAYSINBLOOM[USA] by Unbridled, out of Evening Primrose, by Dayjur, out of Water Lily, by Riverman, out of First Bloom,
 by Primera. [SALAMANDRA]
 ALWAYSINBLOOM[USA] won 1 race at 4 (1600+ m.),
Triumphant won one race over 1200m out of seven career starts,placed twice second over 1200m & 1400m respectively and twice third over 1100m & 1400m respectively.His faraway second to Sovereign Rule in his last start is so far his currently best run.

10] TURF STRIKER (SEDGEFIELD(USA)-GERI  by Housamix, out of Walk on
 Turf[FR], by Bikala, out of Walk On Air, by Cure the Blues, out of Warsaw, by Bon Mot. [FLITTERS]
GERI dam of
STYLISH BAY (b g 2004 by Hymn[IRE]), 6 wins at 3 and 4 (1200 m. to 1600 m.),
               GRAND STAND (b f 2005 by Hymn[IRE]), 1 win at 3 (1400 m.),
Turf Striker is winner of three races over 1200m,1400m & 1600m respectively out of nine career starts.His close second to Alandair in Bangalore Summer Derby is so far is his best run before going in setback.His last victory over a mile proved to be much too strong for his class I opponents.The manner in which he regained his form shows he is on target to run well over here and is one of the main contender over here.

GOOD LUCK

RACE 2] Class VB race,small field,except Edge Of Glory remaining contenders does not impress for a win.Ignore last few runs of Edge Of Glory in higher class,earlier won 1400 M trip over here with same jockey astride.Working extremely good on tracks and a mock race under him,now demoted with 200 M more to run,have an excellent chance in this field.Blue Swallow and Ibis both are for a place prospect.

My Selections: CAPTAIN SMART, ARABIAN GLORY, PRINCE ARIUS.
My Choice: CAPTAIN SMART for eachway.

MUMBAI 1/12/2013

Hello Friends.
A long and attractive card framed for Sunday except some low class races.

RACE 1] Antonius Maximus had a splendid Pune season and is now entrusted to Ace jockey after winning back to back one and half a mile races.Now coming back to mile and a furlong distance may not suit him.Halle has been tracked well,may place.Honest Pleasure now been promoted ran a good third to Gerome in his last start.Archie's last victory was an effortless one and is surely to carry his winning form over here.Now on promotion and is the only a 3 yrs old in the fray looks a very strong contender over here.

My Choice: ARCHIE for win.

RACE 2] Most of the fancied horses have met with each other in their last start at Pune.Rein In Spain finished good 4th to Mykonas,now has a better advantage in weights with the allowance rider on board.San Rafael was interfered twice in his last outing when he was recovering well in the straight and met interference at 200 M.Now running in 5 yrs old & over  co', with useful allowance rider astride has a good chance to win as he has won a similar race (166) in last Mumbai season.Warrior Prince caught the eye in his last start,now Sandesh astride should be a favourite.Arabian Lord now on promotion can repeat under penalty.Mountain Prince still looks on handy marks and is capable of upsetting.Plan B has handicap in favour and may be tried with this rookie.

My Choice: SAN RAFAEL Eachway.

RACE 3] Bad Race.I think this race should be a straight fight between Sea Pearl and Traffic Jam ,both 3 yrs old in the fray.But I think if the youngsters fail,Tropical Zone may prevail over them as his last run was very good where he ran a forward race finishing close 6th to Speed Baby.

My Choice: None.

RACE 4] Ace Fantasy is highly bred and is tracking fine with class II & III horses and has seen far superior company,should run a bold race.Cyclops had a satisfying race in his only run in Pune,while finishing faraway second to Sheer Class,should run a good race.The Big Bull makes a belated debut
for some obvious problems and has been prepared well..Cannot be backed for a win as there are many other contenders in fray.But could not even neglect as the Shroff yard always warrants tremendous respect.Vanguard can break his maiden tag by dropping down to a sprint trip.Ace Of Heart has placed twice in her last starts,may go further.Forest Vision is best left alone from betting point of view.Malkia has been tracked regularly and is well prepared,may upset.

My Choice: ACE FANTASY for win.

RACE 5] Enjoy this race.

RACE 6] Should  be a straight fight between Glorious Reward and Other Song.As older horse does not impress for a win.I think Other Song should finish ahead of Glorious Reward due to handicap factor.

My Choice: OTHER SONG for win.

RACE 7] Indian Touch could have done better in her last start,as a filly conceding weight to others does not impress for a win.One Wish is holding her form well.can do better.Ice Skater may place.Isadoro does not look a reliable one.Oriental Rocky's last victory was very impressive where he won conceding weight.War Horse may be followed over a sprint.Quest Of Love may place.Providence is bred to be speedy and has been prepared,may runaway.

My Choice: ORIENTAL ROCKY for Eachway.

RACE 8] Feature event of the day.Thirteen classic thoroughbreds are participating in this highly competive field.
Toroloco, This Bangalore based horse is in superb form.Has been beaten only once out of the frame in 14 starts.Has won in various distance.Has been tracking fine and looks a big danger inspite of top weight.Hachiko had a forgettable Pune outing,now coming back to Mahalaxmi track,may run well.
Onasis still in superb form at age of 7 won well at Pune now comes back to his favourite course where he has done all his winning is also a big danger to all.Storm Tracker who is the excellent middle distance horse is yet to win a mile trip,is working extremely good and is in the pink of condition,I think is the horse every one have to beat here.Neona proved she can easily stay a mile trip in her last start at pune where she finished close second beating Storm Tracker,should run a bold race.Winston in his last start made Alaindair work hard for his win is greatly improved and nicely placed at the weights.With the benefit of a run could score a huge upset.

My Choice: STORM TRACKER for win./ WINSTON for upset.

RACE 9] Preference given to only 3 yrs old as older horse does not impress for a win.Haunting Memories was far superior in his last victory in the lower class.Now on promotion should run a bold race.Star Of Babylon is tracking well ,has won well in his last start,may repeat with the same rider.Ancient Warrior in his last run got blocked badly,now should make amends,rider repeated should ru a good race.Doc Holiday has been prepared well for this run,may win with this usefull allowance rider. .

My Choice: DOC HOLIDAY for win.

RACE 10] NATALIAN EXPRESS,KALDENO.


DAY'S BEST: STORM TRACKER

DOUBLE:  OTHER SONG/ DOC HOLIDAY

UPSET: ORIENTAL ROCKY

GOOD LUCK.
 

BANGALORE 1000 GUINESS 30/11/2013

RACE 1] BLIZZARD OF OZ: In his last start drifted out in the last 300 M,else could have won.Has been given another chance with the rider repeating.Now promoted,Should win.

RACE 2] NESTO: On the basis of pedigree,this full brother to Quick Fire should run a good race.

RACE 3] RAKSHITA: After finishing a good 5th in her last run,now demoted to lower class with change of jockey and shoes,should be considered to win over here.

RACE 4] SUPER SILVER: Tried start to finish in his last start over 1400 M ,now promoted and may win start to finish  under this useful allowance rider with 200 M less to travel.

RACE 5] SEE BRIGHT: Warmed up too late and covered lot of ground to finish close 3rd in her last start under normal rider.Now 200 M more to run and a powerful rider astride has a bright chance with a run under her belt.

RACE 6] DIAMONITE: Should be able to beat both the 3 yrs old in the field as they don't inspire much for a win.

RACE 7] MARIINSKY: Looks like a runaway winner in this field.

RACE 8] SUPREME: In her last start she was the only one who showed some intent in the closing stage of the race.Should run a bold race.

RACE 9] NATURAL VIEW

Good Luck.  

BANGALORE 1000 GUINESS

Hello Friends,
BANGALORE 1000 GUINESS consists a small field of seven runners and i think almost everybody has a good chance to score over each other.Here is my brief explanation and stastics of each contestant.

1]ALCAZABA [BURDEN OF PROOF-ALHAMBRAH
by Tejano[USA], out of Arabian Rose, by Razeen]
Alhambrah did not race.
Alcazaba raced 5 times,won thrice 1100/1200/1400 M respectively,
and Placed once in 1400 M where she was beaten by Lad Star at the post.
She finished 4th to Supreme Regime by 2 and a 3/4 length in Bangalore Summer Million (Gr 3) 1600 M.
As she is fit and fine and is in good form should be a main contender over here.

2]BEAUTY IS TRUTH [TEJANO(USA)-CAPRESE  by Burden of Proof[IRE], out of Cape Star, by Malvado[CAN]
Caprese won 7 races at 3 and 4 (1200 m. to 1400 m.), ` 28,05,721 and placed incl. 2nd in Chief
    Minister’s Cup, Gr.3, 3rd in Fillies’ Trial Stakes, Gr.1, Bangalore 1000 Guineas, Gr.2, Karnataka
    Racehorse Owners’ Association Mysore 1000 Guineas, Gr.3, 4th in Karnataka Juvenile Million,
   Gr.2, etc
Beauty Is Truth is the only  maiden participant in this field.Out of her ten career starts
she has placed thrice second and once third.Her close second to Amelia in The Fillies Championship Stakes
(Gr I) 1600 M where she finished ahead of one of the best horses in the fray like Starry Eyes,Southern Sky,Striking,Apparition,Mariinsky etc. to name a few is her best run so far.If generates that kind of a run she can upset in this lot.

3]DUMA [PHOENIX TOWER(USA)-FIRE CREST by Southern Halo, out of Steal a Kiss[USA], by Graustark.]
Firecrest won 4 races at 4 (1400 m. to 2200 m.), ` 8,41,549 and placed incl. 3rd in Golconda
    St. Leger, Gr.2, Nizam’s Gold Cup, Gr.3, etc; dam of:
    FIRED UP (ch g 2004 by Placerville[USA]), 2 wins at 3 and 4 (1200 m. and 1600 m.)
Out of her 6 starts DUMA has won 4 times,once in 1100 M and thrice in 1200 M and her all wins have come at Mysore.Only once tried over a mile trip where she was last.Her pedigree suggests she can easily stay a mile trip.Now massive switch of Jockey to Jimmy Fortune(can he change her fortune?) should run a bold race.  

4]ISN'T SHE SPECIAL [ACE(IRE)-RAIN SPLASHER by Placerville(USA),out of Rasant(CAN),by Assert(IRE).]
Out of 5 runs she have won twice 1200 M & 1600 M ie.Mysore 1000 Guiness,and once placed closed second on her debut.
Should be a main contender to beat Mariinsky.

5]KETURAH [BURDEN OF PROOF(IRE) -  ASTRODANCE by Bold Russian[GB], out of Scaglietti, by Everyday II*, out of Turf Hawk.]
ASTRODANCE won 3 races at 3 (1100 m. to 2400 m.),incl. Usha Stud Calcutta Oaks,
   Gr.3 and placed 3rd in Queen Elizabeth II Cup, Gr.3, 4th in Wills Calcutta Derby Stakes, Gr.1, etc;
Keturah ran eight races,won four times,once at 1200 M & thrice at 1400 M.Her last victory at Mysore just 15 days back was impressive where she won by over 9 lengths,but that was in mediocre company as over here she is facing some of the genuine milers.

6]MARIINSKY [BURDEN OF PROOF(IRE) -  SABRE DANCE by Bold Russian[GB], out of Dancing Dissident, by Everyday II*]
SABRE DANCE won 3 races at 2 to 4 (1100 m. to 2400 m.),incl. Castrol Calcutta Oaks, Gr.3, etc; dam of:
Scimitar (ch g 2004 by Burden of Proof[IRE]), 4 wins at 2 to 6 (1200 m. to 2000 m.),
and placed incl. 3rd in Golconda 2000 Guineas, Gr.2, 4th in Vijay Textiles Golconda
 Derby Stakes, Gr.1, etc.
FLEETING ARROW (b c 2005 by Burden of Proof[IRE]), 7 wins at 3 (1400 m. to 1600 m.),
 incl. Colts’ Trial Stakes, Gr.1, Harvins Bangalore 2000 Guineas, Gr.2, Heeroji Lad
 Bangalore Juvenile Million, Gr.3 and placed 3rd in Chief Justice’s Cup, Gr.3, 4th in Poonawalla
 Bangalore Derby, Gr.1, Johnnie Walker Gold Label Indian 2000 Guineas, Gr.1, etc.

Out of her 9 career starts, Mariinsky won 4 races,twice at 1200 M and twice at 1400,Incl.Calcutta
Fillies Trial Stakes.For the first time in her carrier,this Shroff trained fillie is going over a mile trip
(excuding her Bangalore Derby run),and her pedigree suggests that the mile trip will suit her and is the horse
everyone have to beat.

7]WHISPERING GALLERY [BACHELOR DUKE -  INTELLECTUAL[GB] by Dubai Destination, out of

 In the Groove, by Night Shift, out of Pine Ridge] 
Intellectual did not race.
But her Sire Bachelor Duke was a LEADING NZ FIRST SEASON SIRE 2008/09
• Gr.1 CLASSIC WINNER at three years
• Closely related to SIRE LEGENDS – NUREYEV, SADLER’S WELLS, FAIRY KING & EL CONDA PASA.
Whispering Gallery ran three races,(excluding a race in which she was disqualified for banned substance),out of which she won one at 1400 M and placed once.On basis of her pedigree she comes into a classic contention and should run a good race.

Regards.

Brigadier: In his last start saw him improving to finish 6th leisurely.Tracking well and,now jockey changed to S.John should run a bold race.

MUMBAI 24/11/2013

Hello FRIENDS,

Interesting card framed for Sunday races.
Here are my only choices with brief  explanation.

RACE 1] NATIONAL PRIDE: Ran 3 races in Pune all over a short scurry,placed 4th,3rd & 8th respectively.Now running over 6 furlongs trip on her favourite Mumbai track where she won her both career starts in January this year over same distance she is running today.Inspite of concedeing weight she may win with allowance jockey astride.

RACE 2] VENUS MARINA: Finished a good third to Dreams Of Yoy in her last start over a mile.
Now working extremely well and only 3 yr old other than First And Only One in this field and running over identical distance (should relish the extra furlong) looks a strong contender.

RACE 3] ANALEAH: From champion trainers yard, was well beaten in her last start,should make amends as I think she would like this 7 furlongs trip.

RACE 4] I think this race should end up between CELTIC KING and DYNAMO .The former showed a mark improvement when he finished good third to JEREMIAH in pune derby.And the later who finished third in all his career starts had a disappointing pune campaign.Now reversely placed to  KEUKENHOF has a very good handicap chance.

RACE 5] DEJA VU: He too had a very disappointing pune season,and now returning back on his favourite track,has worked extremey well,looks fit and now with his winning jockey astride has a realistic chance to wipe all his pune memories by winning this race.

RACE 6] CIRCLE OF LIFE: Pune derby runner up,now running with bottom weight, should be a leading fancy and is the strong contender over here.

RACE 7] RAVELLO: Ran a very good race against Be Safe in pune,on basis of that effort  this half brother to Placerville Glory has a good chance to topple over rest of the field.

RACE 8] ZOE: In her last start she finished a close second to Yardstick where she was feebly handled by the rider.If she reproduces that run and now with a better rider may run a good race.

DAYS BEST: CIRCLE OF LIFE
DOUBLE: VENUS MARINA
                  DEJA VU
UPSET: NATIONAL PRIDE

GOOD LUCK!
 

BANGALORE FRIDAY 22/11/2013.

Hello FRIENDS,

An attractive card of 8 races have been framed for tomorrow.

 

RACE 1] Horses rated 20-45 (1400m).

There are five horses in this field which I think comes into contention for the finish.Seven Of Hearts ran good 4th against Vission Misssion and has been tracking well,may only place as win looks little difficult.Aashikara who failed to make an impression when finished more than 9 length behind Love My Life in his last start is prepared well and is one of the main contender over here.Dofantasy had an forgettable summer season which shold be ignored as he is tracking very well with class II horse,and this trainer/jockey combo may strike again.Ungoogleable's  run in Race no 52 Bangalore summer was very impressive where he finished third to Southern Sky and now for the first time is getting a good rider and positive change in shoe, is also tracking excellent with the same rider,has a very good chance to win.Glamour Boy now on promotion with positive rider astride but negative change of shoes?one could not understand trainers intent.

 

My Selections: UNGOOGLEABLE, DOFANTASY, AASHIKARA.

My Choice: UNGOOGLIABLE for win.DOFANTASY for upset/place.

 

RACE 2] Terms Maiden 2 yrs horse only.(1200).

One should always avoid such race from betting point of view,Bold Majesty finished good second to Jersey Bride in current Bangalore season,now should be a different proposition with an educational run under his belt and 100m more to travel should win here but the odds would be very low.

 

My Selections: BOLD MAJESTY, BLITZSCHNELLE, SAIRANA.

My Choice: BOLD MAJESTY for win.(If odds over even).

 

RACE 3] Horses rated 00-25,4 yrs &over.(1400m).

SKIP

 

My Selections: MANY WISHES, SILVER STREET, MYSTIC LAVENDERS.

 

RACE 4] Horses rated 40-65.(1600m).

After participating in Bangalore 2000G & Derby Agostini is returning back to Handicap race would be another on money favourite And is running after more than 3 months gap..Regal Boast won very impressively in his last start,was never extended and won with more reserve in his hand,must win again with 200m more to run which should suit him.Guts and Glory is only a place prospect.Artorius is the horse who could upset in this field as this trainer/jockey combo has done this recently in more than couple of occasions.

Aceempressjessie has to prove double class which seems difficult in this field.

 

My Selections: REGAL BOAST, AUGOSTINI, ARTORIUS.

My Choice: REGAL BOAST for win. ARTORIUS for upset(small hedge).

 

RACE 5] Horses rated 60 & above,4 yrs old & over.(1400m).

Valahak is tracking very good with same rider who is astride ,coming down in class and working well with same jockey who is riding today will be in contention and may win in this company.One Time Magic in his last start led till 800,then ran second entering the straight ,faded out without showing any intent.Now major switch in jockey and on basis on his last run must be in contention but one cant understand why the trainer has opted for steel shoes as this trainer always goes with aluminium shoes whenever his horse is on job especially with Suraj Narredu astride,this is the only prospect that is confusing me.Stellar Ambition is only a place prospect.Violent Storm when finished close third against I Say in his last start looked like he had not put cent percent effort ,is now running on promotion and is tracked agter that run should also run a good race.

 

My Selection: VALAHAK, VIOLENT STORM, ONE TIME MAGIC.

My Choice: VALAHAK for win.   

 

RACE 6] Horses rated 80 and above.(1600m).

Mountain Range is in irresistible form but with such a stiff handicap and coming back to a mile distance which probably may not suit him now after running in long distance trips.Ratham lost as a favourite in her start at Mysore where she ran after lay off and may have needed that run.Now promotedand tracking very good with same rider astride has a very good chance to win with 200m more to run.Turf Striker is the only 3 yr old in this field and is now on promotion facing genuine class I company at this handicap has a very good chance to win after forgettable Mysore season. 

 

My Selections: TURF STRIKER, RATHAM, MOUNTAIN RANGE.

My Choice: TURF STRIKER for win.

 

RACE 7] Horses rated 20-45,4 yrs & over.(1200m).

My Selections: PRESIDENTS RULE: In his last run tried start to finish attempt but was gradually outpaced by Influencs midway entering the straight.Now 200m less to travel & in his age group may win here.

ISLE OF FIRE: Ignore her last run where she sprinted ahead,led till turn then failed to quicken,had no track work may try start to finish in same distance.

NOCTURNAL HUNTER: May place.

 

My Choice:: PRESIDENTS RULE for win.ASTONISHING for upset.

 

RACE 8] Horses rated 20-45.(1400m).

My Selections: ABSOLUTE RED, AMAZONAS, MANTRA.

My Choice: ABSOLUTE RED for win.

good 4th to Estelita .may place with this mediocre jockey astride.

Feature event of the day, there are eight runners participating over here  with Jersy Shore is
the only 3 yr old in the field.Cirque Du Soleil had a very good summer will be the main
contender here with Chase The Son (in form trainer) and Jersey Shore whose last run on soft going
should be ignored And dont underestimate Zultanite who is very much active on tracks should be also in fighting line.But I think JERSEY SHORE should win this race as he is running in a right distance,
 is the only 3 yr old and is having advantage of a run.
