Bangalore 4/1/2020

1.45 #2 STROKE OF GENIUS let down favourite backers last time before the spell and could make amends now back in trip. While of the less exposed sorts, #1 STAR SAPPHIRE looks one that could go on improving, so he's worthy of consideration.

2.15 #12 TEQUILA TORNADO returns to sprinting after failing to stay a mile here last start, may try to make all from his low draw; respected.

2.45 #1 DARING PRINCE shaped with an abundance of promise when second over C&D as a favourite on debut. Back from the spell and the well bred gelding is entitled to improve with that experience now under his belt.

3.15 #13 FICTIONEER steps up in grade with the booking of Akshay Kumar catching the eye and a market move for him should be noted. A bigger danger to the selection, however, may be the class dropper #1 TORSORO and would be one to consider if he attracted market support.

3.45 #9 SHEISMYSCRIPT was arguably going to be involved in the finish at Mysore when unluckily losing her rider in her penultimate start before losing her both fore shoes in her last start and if both her Mysore runs are ignored she is a 4 time course winner including 3 time course and distance winner to note and appeals on weights. 

4.15 Top rated #1 ANJEZE kept on strongly at the finish when landing a Bangalore 1000 Guineas on her seasonal return defeating Gift Of Grace who later won Indian 1000 Guineas. Franked on that solid form line and with the step up in trip expected to suit, she is fancied to take this race on her way to the Bangalore Derby on Jan 26th. 

4.45 #1 CORYBANTIC won three times over C&D, and has matched strides with better ones. Drops in class now, and ought to go well here. 

5.15 #8 EKLAVYA was in consistent form earlier in the summers and must enter calculations back from a break, appeals on handicap. 

DAYS BEST : ANJEZE 

GOOD LUCK
