Mumbai 16/1/2020 

2.00 #3 PEZULA gets the vote as she takes a drop down in grade to a level where she can get off the mark. The principal threat might be from another class dropper #6 ON VA DANSER who may benefit from the drop back in trip. 

2.30 #5 CRAY CRAY is doing well off her current rating and perhaps the step in trip could see her in the winner's enclosure. She is the only 1400m winner in this field. While #2 NUSRAT would be one to consider if she attracted market support.

3.00 #3 GALLOPING GOLDMINE was galvanised by the fitting of blinkers when returning to winning ways here last time and is still on a workable mark. He will appreciate the step up in trip and is taken to follow up.

3.30 In an open affair marginal preference is for #10 GOLDEN STEAL from her lower draw. The selection showed good early speed before fading late on over 7f here last time and could relish this drop in trip. 

4.00 #3 RISING SUN appears a winner in waiting having made the podium on both outings so far since resuming and the gelding could get off the mark at the fourth attempt now dropping to 5f. 

4.30 #5 NIGHT HUNT was a clear winner here last time and has a fantastic chance of following up if in the same form over a same trip.

5.00 #4 GOLDEN ECLIPSE is sliding down the ratings and is capable of figuring at this level with A Sandesh in saddle. 

5.30 #1 SACRED ROMAN the winner of THE STAYERS CUP GRADE 1 in March but not as good since, finishing down the field in Bangalore & Pune. Showed up well for a long way on seasonal debut at the end of last month; should be fitter and stronger here and one to note stepping up  over favourable distance. 

DAYS BEST: SACRED ROMAN

NEXT BEST: NIGHT HUNT 

GOOD LUCK
