1.00 Ignore his dissappointing last performance, was found to be sore by the left fore leg. #5 LORD ARAZAN looks ready to go fresh here. 

1.30 #7 ROYAL SAPPHIRE resumes on the back of consistent performance in winters. Has been dropped significantly in ratings and ready to go fresh here. 

2.00 #1 NIGHT FURY going to the mile for the first time a query but her pedigree suggests she may appreciate this rise in distance 

2.30 #8 HOLY SMOKE is in great form winning 4 on the trot to remain unbeaten in winters and he is the fit horse. Up in grade and hard to beat again. 

3.00 #7 ARABELLE rounded up his opposition to win last start at Bangalore. Still plenty of scope for improvement and looks good to score an encore. 
Don't dismiss #5 NASCAR who is a consistent filly and is always a chance in these races.

3.30 #9 ART DECO ran a forward race on debut and will be better for that run. Has been building into this prep nicely and may be able to step straight out of maiden grade, just needs luck from the draw. 

4.00 Up in grade #8 ANCIENT GLORY chasing the hat trick after successive wins at Mumbai. Must go on top. 
#13 UNDISPUTED is consistent but finding it hard to get across the line first. Has won at this track. Live threat if apprentice handles well and worth including in all the pools.

4.30 #11 GLORIOUS ANGEL ran on well to place in her debut. Sharp in trials, she looks the one to get past with further improvement. 

5.00 #7 STAR ONE won this track and trip on debut and not beaten far at last start as a favourite. Can bounce back and resume his winning ways.

Pune opening day 28/7/2016

1.30 Fully exposed #7 GLORIOUS HYMN should have won in Mumbai season and now it's frustrating to follow her. Change in name can bring her some luck and hence deserves one more chance. 
Keep an eye on #15 ASPEN who gets in under the minimum after the claim and may upset. 

2.00 Very consistent and progressive in winters #3 FEW DOLLARS MORE just failed to win 3 in a row last out over unidentical distance. Now looks well placed here over winnable trip. She has a good fresh record and gets in well at the weights after the claim.

2.30 #2 LADY DANEHILL resumes with a strong finishing placing at last start. Looks to be a good type of a sprinter. Is fresh off a break and strips fitter for handicap debut.

3.00 Last start failed favourite #10 MAGNOLIA can recoup the losses dropping back over a mile trip. 
Don't dismiss #6 FEARLESS NADIA who is resuming in new stable and if finds form she should go close. Relishes Pune track and is the course and distance winner. 

3.30 Worst race of the day. Impossible to bet or tip with any confidence here with all the unknowns, and repair case. Taking a small EW chance on down in class #16 SWARAJ

4.00 #10 SILKEN EYES ran well in a debut and thereafter when placed. Not beaten that far in a better class race (PBMM) last start before a spell. Sharp in trials, she looks the one to get past.

4.30 #3 SHIELD OF ACHILLES demolished the oopsotion in Bangalore last start and should be hard to beat here with extra fitness. Must go on top.

5.00 #1 SHIVALIK SHINE was racing in fine form in winters with superior company and there's nothing to suggest she can't go well again after a break. Although she wants further but will be finishing off strongly from outermost draw. 

5.30 Ignore her last run in PBMM #7 SILVER BEAUTY did a good job to win her maiden earlier. Hard to beat with still plenty of scope for improvement.

2.00 #2 YOURESOHANDSOME has now had three runs back from a spell and put the writing on the wall last start when close 2nd to Native Elements who won again in upper class.Should be right at his peak and ready to win.

2.30 Weak race to assess with no real standouts. Last start well beaten favourite #8 FIRST STEP can make amends with useful rider in saddle. Just needs some luck from the draw. 
#7 ELEGANT STAR is the main danger following a solid 3rd at last start and likely to appreciate the extra ground. May upset. 

3.00 #4 INTEGRATED will appreciate the rise to this distance. Dam was a stout stayer and must respect the bloodlines. 
Don't dismiss #6 SPIRIT AND TRUTH although she jumps in distance but has fair recent form and could upset these if she runs the trip.

3.30 #3 FAIR GAME resumed with a strong finishing placing at last start against youngsters. Is fresh off a short break and strips fitter for the last-start effort. Back to winnable distance makes her tougher to get past.

4.00 #5 SMILE STONE is consistent and looks overdue for win after some strong efforts recently. Has impressed in recent mock race. Should be right at his peak and ready to win. 
Keep an eye on #8 LIGHT OF MAGIC she may upset with a run under her belly. 

4.30 #10 TANGALOOMA led and run down near the line finishing on placegetters heels at last start when resuming. A shorter journey in her favour and drawn to advantage. Has been building into this prep nicely and may be able to step straight out of maiden grade and win here.

5.00 #2 ONLY PRINCESS is just on top in a pretty open race dropping back in grade. Is running some fair races and a winning chance here. 

5.30 #3 COLOUR OF GOLD did a good job finishing runner up at last start after covering ground in the run. Ready to peak here and can return to winners stall.

2.00 #3 DESERT GOLD will appreciate the drop in grade. The slightly shorter journey in her favour and gets the gun run from the gate.

2.30 #3 FABULOUS  has been trying for a while but has performed soundly at both outings since debut. He stems from inform yard & can redeem both failures.

3.00 #4 BALIAN led and run down near the line when runner-up last start. Going to the mile for the first time a query but could get a soft lead and can prevail at the wire.

3.30 Not a lot depth here and #1 FINE EXAMPLE has been building into this prep nicely and may be able to step straight out of maiden grade and win here. 

4.00 #3 SEA FAIRY was beautifully ridden when charging late here last time. Should appreciate the extra trip. Is consistent and looks overdue for win after some strong efforts recently whilst #7 SILVER CHIEFTAIN is the main danger with consistent form and race fitness.Appeals on weights. Each way if you like him.

4.30 Despite of slow start #6 ESCALA surprisingly showed a lot of pace last start after coming from well back to win here impressively. Still plenty of scope for improvement and looks hard to beat again.

5.00 Impossible to bet or tip with any confidence here with all the unknowns, and as with my fancy SHIVALIK GIRL the money train will tell you more. 

5.30 Top rated maiden #1 PALLAS Is better than what he showed resuming and will be better from that outing. Slightly shorter trip here makes him a major player.

2.25 Not a lot depth here and after summering in Bangalore #7 NAZAILLA  may be able to step straight out of maiden grade and win here, should be attacking the line. 

3.00 Wide open race. Taking the punt on #15 GREEN IMAGE . Form not flash but chances enhanced on mansoon track as her all victories have come on this track. Weights in her favour too. 

3.30 #5 GORGEOUS LADY hit the ground on debut with an impressive win & she's a ready-made racehorse. I would be surprised if she doesn't win here. Hard to beat. 

4.00 Fine performer in winters #3 BOUQUET is bound to make her presence felt in this lower class. 

4.30 Junk 5B race of the day take your chance either on #3 CORUBA or #15 DORIAN

Don't dismiss #14 FOREVER BULLISH who missed the goal last start. Gets in under the minimum after the claim and gets the chance to go one better. Upset chance. 

3.00 #5 MODERN SNIPER now drops in grade after listless runs in winters. Is resuming in new stable and if finds form from previous prep should go close.

4.00 #1 CROWN ROYAL has been in good form with recent placings and drops significantly in grade making him the one to beat. 

4.30 Difficult race to tip anything here. #1 VIJAY VIDHATA has to carry the big weight but will appreciate the drop back in grade.  has a 100% win record when resuming, rookie has to handle well if falters then another demotee #2 GALIAT who also has a fair record with fresh legs can strike with good claimer in saddle. 

5.05 Now eased in grade #2 VISTA relishes mansoon track and hence has a fair chance to strike now. 

Keep an eye on well prepared feather weighted #12 DANCING FARHA who can create a flutter by staging a pillar to post victory from rail draw.

Bangalore 17/7/2016

1.30 #6 TIC TAC TOE has race fitness on his side and the speed to be up front for long way can see him home. Has a massive switch in rider.

2.00 Tough race with multiple chances.GO GREEN is the winner of last start and can score an encore with ace rider in saddle. On relative handicap, SCORCHING is the main danger with consistent form and race fitness. REAL GENEROUS is never far away and should be in contention with positive switch in rider. CANDICE and FLEET ON FIRE have shown glimpses of ability and can fill the placings.

My choice : GO GREEN for win.
                      SCORCHING for upset. 

2.30 #Last start impressive maiden winner #5 BURNISHED GOLD Should appreciate the extra trip although this is harder.#3 SAPTAJIT should follow her home. 

3.00 #12 ZAFRINA ran on well to place at her start. Should  be up on the speed and can come out of maiden ranks over this slightly shorter trip. 

3.30 #1 BONFIRE looks one to beat here after a strong finishing 2nd this track and distance last start. Looks well placed here at the weights after the claim.

4.00 Multiclassic winner #4 DESERT GOD can stay until cow comes home and looks formidable in this set. #1 AZZURO a place chance again. 

4.30 This seems to be a good race for #4 MISS ADLER after good forward run last start when resuming. Stems from a strong yard & can bounce back with significant drop in grade. 

5.00 Siding with #4 JERSEY WONDER that appears to map ideally sitting just off leaders. Does appear well placed here on best form. Had won three straight in winters and can return to winners stall.

Don't dismiss #9 AFORE his last run is been his best this season getting to the line well. Has potential to upset at this feather weights. Each-way chance. 

5.30 #10 RARE AND BOLD was not beaten far at last start when resuming after long lay off. If he finds the front it could be a times and margins job. 

DAYS BEST: ZAFRINA
