MUMBAI 5/12/2013

Hello Friends,
Card of 8 races framed for Mumbai meeting,looks better than previous Thursdays.

 RACE 1] Dreams Of You is nicely bred filly from the top most yard,won in a close finish over a mile in her debut start,is working attractively in morning trials and should do better over extended trip,odds will be low.Snowing ran a good second to Highlander over the same trip in her previous outing,is tracking fine and is the only one who can trouble the former.

My Selections: DREAMS OF YOU, SNOWING.
My Choice: DREAMS OF YOU for win.

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: EDGE OF GLORY, BLUE SWALLOW.
My Choice: EDGE OF GLORY for win.

RACE 3] Rosie Sunshine won comfortably over the same trip in the opening day of current Mumbai season,now penalised, and has been tracked after that run,may defy the penalty by winning again over her pet distance as of now.Ice Empire and stablemate Wings Of Glory may at best place. Myla Rose running after long lay off,is good for over 7 furlongs trip.

My Selections: ROSIE SUNSHINE, ICE EMPIRE, WINGS OF GLORY.
My Choice: ROSIE SUNSHINE for win.

RACE 4] Another class VB race which may be won by anybody.Herzeliyah finally gained a long overdue success last time out.Now penalised heavily,if maintains form may run well under this whipless rider.Mahima,Blush,Arabian Glory are demotees in this field,with later finished good fourth in her last start inspite losing about 3 lengths at the start,now bears watching with Sandesh astride.Captain Smart is the speedy 7 yrs old now extremely well handiacapped and showing signs of life in morning trials may run close under this claimer.For Prince Arius I think the distance may fell short as he is running for the first time over 1000 M trip after 24 career starts.Rising Angel won pillar to post at Pune over same distance,but is not reliable one.

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

RACE 5] Fortune Hunter does not impress for win over this trip as distance may not suit him.Awesome Smile after finishing 4th in his last start  over 1400 M, is now down the trip has no trackwork but noticed in swimming should be a favourite with Sandesh up.Ignore Gloria last two runs,earlier ran close 2nd to Samay Balwan over the same trip in the lower class.is well placed on scales and may upset in this major event of the day.Oriental Dawn is best suited over 7 furlongs trip.Mountain Song failed to make a headway in her last start under whipless rider,may go close with rider changed to Ranjane.

My Selections: GLORIA, AWESOME SMI;E, MOUNTAIN SONG.
My Choice: GLORIA for win.

RACE 6] Champakali giving weights to rest of the contestents,has been worked and should go close as she is getting some respite in weights due to this allowance rider.Calypso Queen and Miracle Of Mercy can be watched among older horses as there are other young speedy horses in the fray,at best one of them may place.Ice Gate won well over 5 furlongs in his last start,may place.Song Saa is a well bred filly who was given a nice educative run in pune,finished an eye catching fourth over the same trip.Has been tracked excellently by the master trainer and looks a leading fancy to score in this field.

My Selections: SONG SAA, CHAMPAKALI, CALYPSO QUEEN.
My choice: SONG SAA for win.

RACE 7] Enjoy this race.

My Selections: ARTISTE, OPEN OFFER, MISS MIRACLE. 
My Choice: NONE

RACE 8] Ice Age is currently in fine fettle and may run close under this allowance rider.Protector Of Paris flopped miserably in his last start,has been working well with blinkers on.Now demoted,cant be ignored as Shroff wards cannot be under estimated as they are prepared extensively for makinging amends.Achieve has had a change if name after failing many times as a favourite and is still a maiden,cannot consider for a win,may place.One Kept Secret ran 5th to Indian Touch in the Panchshil Juvenile Million over 1400 M in his last start,now blazing in the latest trials and back to his winning trip is the one to be beaten.You Are The boss should be followed back down to the minimum trip as he likes to run in the front and may not sustain long Mumbai straight over 6 furlongs trip.Windcraft  and Speed Baby may upset if any of the youngsters fail especially the later who is now on promotion after winning back to back races at Pune in the lower class and is in great form.

My Selections: PROTECTOR OF PARIS, ONE KEPT SECRET, SPEED BABY.
My Choice: PROTECTOR OF PARIS for win.


DAY'S BEST: GLORIA

DOUBLE: ROSIE SUNSHINE/SONG SAA

UPSET: CAPTAIN SMART

GOOD LUCK.
