1.45 #1 DANCING PRINCESS has been in good form with recent placings and drops in grade making her one of the strong contenders. Watch betting. 

2.15 #4 BALIAN had a couple of goes at the mile without luck, he has the pedigree to stay this trip and can be given one more chance especially with leading pro David Allan in saddle. 

2.45 #6 INTER FLORA has run on stoutly in her her last three outings in summer, with David Allan onboard she should be in the finish. 

3.15 With a good lung opener under his belt and massive switch in rider #6 AAYAN looks ready to strike off this lenient mark. 

3.45 #5 SUMMERHILL had a nice lung opener when resuming at a mie last start. Is winner at this track and distance and can improve with blinkers added for the first time. Value bet.

5.00 #2 SCARLET PRINCE was ordinary last prep but gets the drop in grade and distance and has owner's retainer aboard and if he finds best fresh can win. 
Keep an eye on consistent #1 WONDER STORY who can upset down in grade. 

5.25 Impressed with the way #5 FRIVOLOUS got to the line to win maiden first-up and with MRS PATMORE won easily on opening day, he can go on and measure up to these. Hard to beat. 

5.50 #1 TEMERITY brought up a hat-trick of wins when last in work at Pune and has the upside to continue on her winning way. 

6.15 #1 WIND CRAFT has the big weight but he brings the strong form lines against these and with massive switch in saddle he will run a bold race. 

6.40 #2 ZINFANDELLE was spelled after finishing a close third in a million event. She is likely to have developed during a break and should be respected fresh at more suitable distance. Strong fancy. 

7.05 This full bred to classic sprinter Dancing Prances #2 DANCING PRINCE scored a deserved win over short scurry last start. May have been the confidence booster he needed. Rises in grade and distance and no surprise to see him go back to back. 

7.30 #1 BLAVATSKY is back to right class and ideal trip and with 5kg claim sure to give this a shake. 
Although #2 AEOLUS MAXIMUS has no recent form but gets the blinkers back on for this and should be suited over this trip. An outside chance. 

DAYS BEST: ZINFANDELLE

1.30 The market holding the key to most of the runners. Nothing between RAHBAR, SPACE INVADER, AMARIS who are all tracking impressively. The last name though tracking much better then the other two but doesn't impress with multiple equipments on debut. THE IMPOSTER is also blazing morning tracks and looks the better of the first starters and is my pick for this opener along with SPACE INVADER as an outsider. Watch the market. 

2.00 Finished good 3rd last start against Bangalore based horses #4 AMAZING KODAL has steadily improved this time in work and should be running on strongly with furlong more. 
#6 KOHINOOR BLITZ strips fitter for the first-up run where she finished close up after many listless outings. Extra distance suits and can give this a shake. 

2.30 #2 GO MAN GO showed some zest for racing last start while finishing within 5 lengths of the winner. If connections desire he can strike here. 
Keep an eye on Western India import #7 ELOIKA who resumes after lengthy lay off and looks well prepared and can upset the apple cart of fancied runners. 

3.00 This unbeaten grand son of Galileo #4 MICHAELA is in a purple patch at present and connections will be keen to book more wins while it continues. Must go on top. 

3.30 #2 ASCEDENCY was below his best last start as favourite. Will appreciate the rise in distance and can atone with Srinath repeating in saddle. 
Keep an eye on #7 DANCING BLUES, looks improved in trials, place looks good and may upset. 

4.00 #2 SEA LAGOON is resuming and her recent trial was strong, she was in tremendous form last preparation and races well fresh. Hard to beat. 

4.30 #1 AZURE FIRE gets the drop on everything, he'll roll forward from the perfect barrier and will be hard to catch. 

5.00 #3 WATERFALL has demonstrated improvement in two starts last preparation.  This daughter of Holy Roman Emperor will  relish the mile trip and looks ready to break through fresh.

DAYS BEST: SEA LAGOON

1.30 #2 DHISHOOM is resuming after a lengthy lay off and his good recent trials suggests he is set to shed his maiden tag here at his first start in ten months under new trainer. 

2.00 #2 BE BOLD had a torrid trip working hard in front last start and understandably tired. Will appreciate the drop in grade and distance. 

2.30 Conqueror of Accolade #6 DEVOTED EYES has to just complete formalities in her lead up race for Indian 1000 Guinness. 

3.00 #2 CARBONARA only clear late when placed close 5th at Pune resuming. Fitter here and is the winner at this track and distance. Rates highly. 

3.30 #6 LADY DANEHILL was given no hope from a wide draw last start at Pune and still not beaten that far. Fair chance  with Trevor in saddle. 
If #7 QUIXOTIC can get across and lead them from awkward gate he looks the one to give this a shake. Don't discard. 

4.00 #8 KITTY HAWK is the one to beat here after a solid debut 2nd at Pune over 1000m. Will appreciate the step up in trip and looks hard to beat. 

4.30 Impressive 2nd on debut #7 MRS PATMORE has oodles of raw talent of these and can show it here with a maiden win. Strong fancy. 

5.00 Half bred to good type B Fifty Two #5 IRISH BAILEY looks to be a late improver like former and is likely to have developed during a break and should be respected fresh, the one to beat.

Hyderabad 6/11/2016

12.45 #5 SYMBOL OF PRIDE chased home speedy stablemate last start in mansoon. Looks well placed on handicap. Drops slightly in distance and can break through. 
Keep an eye on #9 DANCING FARHA she has plenty of speed and if she can get right run up front may give this a shake. 

1.15 #4 WILD WINGS has looked sharp in trials ahead of her debut. The one to beat. 

1.45 #1 PRIDE AND JOY led for a long time when resuming only to be swamped late. Strips that little bit fitter and with massive switch in saddle might be tougher to catch. 

2.15 #8 VALLEE TIGER is a late debutant  but should break through soon if a strong recent trial including two mock races and choice of rider are any indication. Value bet. 

2.50 #6 DANDY GIRL has been carving out some solid sectionals up front in recent trials. Is the only genuine front runner here and will roll forward and give them plenty to chase. The one to beat. 

3.20 #1 OLYMPIC HERO is an improving type who won impressively against his own age group last start. Capable of winning another gold medal. Strong fancy. 

3.50 #4 THE HEALER has been going well across the border winning three on a trot and strikes another winnable race. Will appreciate the rise in distance and hard to beat. 

4.20 #8 BRILLIANT had excuses ( met interference at 200m) for the last-start defeat and had won a similar race to this prior. Can bounce back hard. 
#5 GRAND CANYON has not been far away at recent outings in monsoons, he relishes winter track and will appreciate a step up in distance. Is well placed on scales and the time of race suggests trainer may strike here to upset the apple cart of fancied runner. 

4.55 #1 GENERAL SALUTE looks ready for maiden win after his last close 5th to Composure. This not difficult and is the one to beat.

DAYS BEST: DANDY GIRL

Bangalore 5/11/2016

1.45 Well prepared debutant #1 MAYWEATHER should run a bold race to make a winning debut in this moderate set. 

2.15 Ignore his last run over an unidentical distance #2 AMBITIOUS REWARD merits attention for his earlier close 2nd at this track and trip under whipless rider. Can strike now with massive switch in saddle. 
If stays an extra furlong #1 MICKEY MOUSE can return to winning form with the 4Kg claim and down in grade. Don't ignore. ( Good third to Alaindair in Karnataka mile championship) 

2.45 #5 HIGH PROFILE should cope with the step back to six furlongs and make full use of the drop in grade.

3.15 #1 ROYAL SCEPTRE was not disgraced in Hyderabad colts championship last start after some promising efforts prior. Strong fancy. 
Keep an eye on #7 SERENA BALLERINA who is still a maiden and has been trying for a while but distance suits. At this low weights & with Sandesh up will give this a shake.

3.45 #2 AFRICAN EMPEROR resumes after lengthy lay off as a gelding and should be fit enough after solid trials. Placed 2nd in his only start to date and looks set for a first-up win here. 

4.15 #2 PROSERPINE is racing in peak form and looks suited stepping down to 1400m trip. With a well-timed ride from the back she'll be steaming home.

4.45 #3 AMBLESIDE is resuming and looks the one to beat here following a strong finishing 2nd this track and trip last start before the spell. 

5.15 #1 FIRING LINE runner-up last start at this trip. Positive jockey change gives him the chance to go one better. 
#3 GOODWILL WARRIOR was touch disappointing when favourite last start but if you can forgive that outing he can upset here.

1.45 Got abroad #7 NIJLON is showing out in trials suggesting she can go well at her first start. 

2.15 #2 ROCK N ROLLA scored a deserved win this trip last start. May have been the confidence booster she needed and no surprise to see her go back to back with 4 kg claim to defy the class penalty. 

2.45 Bred in purple #9 MAGISTERO might still be the best horse in the race despite some indifferent results in summer. comes through a high-rating race last start (Derby). Can improve sharply in this company and might be closer to a win. Appeals on weights. 
Keep an eye on last start impressive maiden winner #4 CAMPARI GIRL. She has staying potential and should be suited by the likely solid tempo. The main danger. 

3.15 #8 RARE RHYTHM is resuming, she is still a maiden but has run in much stronger company than this and trials suggests she is ready for her maiden win, watch the market. 

3.45 Better ignore his previous runs in summer #1 MAGICAL LIGHT has good potential and can start his campaign with a win here. 

4.15 #10 SANS PEUR showed great acceleration and won in a canter at Hyderabad. He will relish the return to his home track and with low weight to carry will measure Up these. 

4.45 #1 AKHA TEEJ is racing soundly but finding it hard to win, she just missed when favourite at Mysore over this distance last start and gets a chance to make amends.

5.15 #10 ROMANTIC HELEN is still a maiden and runner-up last three starts to date on this track. Still scope for improvement and gets the chance to go one better with ace rider in saddle.

1.15 #1 BREEZEOFTHESOUTH has dominated in both starts in mansoon and this doesn't look any harder. Likely to bring up the hat-trick. 

1.45 Half sister to Scarlet Emperor, #4 FASHION HIGH is nicely bred and would respect on debut with Suraj on board. 

2.15 #3 SEFARINA gets a clear advantage of new class system and can strike here.

2.45 #7 PICTURE PERFECT can bounce back after failing last start with Suraj aboard he will be hard to run down from the good gate. 

3.15 #4 PAPRIKA demolished the field in last start and this looks no tougher. Must go on top.Strong fancy.

3.45 #5 KOHINOOR KARISHMA showed speed to lead last time only to be picked off late. Drops slightly in distance and can break through. 

4.15 #5 CITY OF HARMONY can't have been more impressive running good time to win her past two. Will appreciate the rise in distance and is the one to beat again.

DAYS BEST : PAPRIKA

-----------------------------------------

Kolkata picks & analysis 

12.30 #1 CELERINO is resuming with blinkers, he showed early promise and this full bred to good type Champagne can tackle this moderate set despite running after lengthy lay off, watch for support. 

1.00 Late debutant #1 FLAMSTEED must be respected for his bloodlines and can make a winning debut in this bottom grade. 

1.30 #2 GIMME CREDIT will roll forward and should get a lovely run here and will be the hardest to beat in an even race.

2.00 #1 WAR GAMES showed good improvement to finish close 2nd this track last start. He looks suited by the step up in distance and is the one to beat with John in saddle. 

2.30 #2 ZACARA should cope with the step back to six furlongs and make full use of the drop in grade.

Keep an eye on #8 SICARIO can upset at this low weights. 


3.00 #4 DYSNOMIA finally lived up to her potential by winning fillies trial stakes and finished creditable 2nd in kolkota mansoon Derby and maybe now she can keep going and run a string of decent races which she has always promised.
#7 TORINO nearly caused an upset in town last start when only just missed. Only needs to hold that form to give this a shake.

#3.30 It's hard to go past unbeaten #12 MR FOGG'S. Has demolished rivals at his past two starts since debut and even with up in grade the picket fence should continue. 

4.00 #9 I TOLD YOU KNOW is resuming, he has been a Maiden for a long time but has run well in much stronger races than this and could show up fresh. 

DAYS BEST: WAR GAMES
