1. The race is confined to the first two horses. VIJAYI BHAVA , an apt name can win if kept well up with the pace. The main rider of N Lagad , trainer of V BHAVA is however riding LOVELY FEELINGS. Handicap favors this horse who ran an un extended 4th last time.
LOVELY FEELINGS-VIJAYI BHAVA
2. KA CHING was a comfortable winner last time. The owner having brought the Irish jockey for the season decides to put an aged jockey is intriguing as the horse has a good chance. PERSONIFIED who has been well prepared should find it easy in this set up. CHARDIN is likely to lead into the straight.
PERSONIFIED-KA CHING
3. HAZELHEAD is working well. SEA STORM had run a hat trick of wins last season, the preparation & the jockey are positive signs. NANJING is a failed favorite with a claimer jockey. ALVIDA led till beaten in final stages of Poona Derby. PRIDE is working attractively.
SEA STORM-HAZEL HEAD-PRIDE
4. JUVENTUS is full brother to the fine sprinters ,ie; HOTSTEPPER,CZARINA & FLYING GLORY. He is bound to run a good race as the tracks are suggestive. RED ROMEO who is fastest in tracks and very eye catching is full brother to class I sprinter ROMANTIC FIRE. KIARA could have won last time if the jockey wanted to, all will have to beat him today. SECRET GLORY had warmed up late last time, should run an improved race.
KIARA-RED ROMEO-JUVENTUS
5. NIMBLE FEAT is slowly regaining form. FANTASTIC FURY was surprised as a favorite last time. ALMANDINE was a big flop in Bangalore. BONNY LIGHT has been consistent. TOUCH THE SKY was an unwanted 3rd last run, can win at this handicap.
TOUCH THE SKY-FANTASTIC FURY-NIMBLE FEET
6. LIGHTNING BOLT was a runaway winner in both last runs, will be at it again. SIROCO has come to hand. CABINDA is suited for this distance only. MIRROR IMAGE has not been sighted for a long time after being good 2nd to OYSTER PRINCESS.
LIGHTNING BOLT-SIROCO-CABINDA
7. TOTALITARIAN is a good type horse who has a good jockey. ROYAL FLASH was a good winner last time. GAEA has run with classic horses, appeals on handicap.
GAEA-TOTALITARIAN
8. SOLID BLACK has been solidly prepared. CATALYST has been blazing the tracks all through Pune season, must have had problems as she was not raced. ENCOURAGEMENT is encouraging in tracks. LEGAL EYE has run with better horses.

- REALISTIC LOOK AT THE PERFORMANCE OF FRESHMAN SIRES 1. Four freshman sires had their crop racing in the country in the racing year 2018-19 . CORPORATE JUNGLE(USA) 2008 BY GIANTS CAUSEWAY( HAZARA STUD) LEITIR MOR (IRE) 2010 BY HOLY ROMAN EMPEROR(POONAWALLA STUD) SPEAKING OF WHICH(IRE) 2009 BY INVINCIBLE SPIRIT(USHA STUD) SUDIRMAN(USA) 2011 BY HENRY THE NAVIGATOR(EQUUS STUD) 2. CORPORATE JUNGLE had a reported crop of 31 live foals as per stud book and only 9 were winners as follows. ROYAL CURRENCY-4WINS including Nilgiri Derby Grade 1. ELECTRA-2WINS LADY ASCOT-2WINS STAR CAVALARY-1WIN SPARTAN -1W BROTHER IN ARMS-1W EXQUISITE STAR-1W FUN LOVER-1W NORELAA-1W. 3. LETIR MOR had a reported crop of 49 and has 12 winners so far. STORM BREAKER-3W including Juvenile Sprinters Million Grade 3. HUNT FOR GOLD-2W including Breeders Produce Stakes Grade 3 VIJAY SINGHAM-2W RAINBOW TROUT-2W MYSTIC BAY-2W SILVER FLAME-2W MAJESTIC WARRIOR 2W BEEMER-1W ICE FLOE-1W GODS PLAN-1W NOVA SCOTIA-1W. 4. SPEAKING OF WHICH had a reported crop of 29 and has 12 winners RHAPSODY-2W ANGEL GRACE-2W MAKHTOOB-2W THE GREAT GATSBY-2W SLICE OF HAVEN-1W GIFT OF GRACE-1W MY PASSION-1W ROSINA-1W SPEAKING OF STARS-1W WIZARD OF STOCKS-1W ASMITA-1W RULE THE WORLD-1W 5. SUDIRMAN being infertile did not have any live produce. COMMENTS A. SPEAKING OF WHICH is no comparison to the good sires produced by the top North Indian Stud Farm which housed the best ever RAZEEN, top sire today MULTIDIMENSIONAL, outstanding GREY GASTON, and the highly respected STEINBECK. However he stands out on comparison to the other three and appears to be the best to choose from the freshman sires purely because of lurking promise over classic distances which the coming winter season will offer to the present 3 year olds.He is bound to click with some Razeen mare, if an ordinary sire like CHINA VISIT could get classic winners from them then hope such winners from SPEAKING OF WHICH are soon to be seen. B. LEITIR MOR appears to be a decent sire as his crop has got two black type races and he is from a stud farm which has quality mares are kept. What is discerning is the number of non racers from the crop, the produce has to be race worthy and should come to hand early otherwise it creates many doubts in the ability. Long time ago we had such a sire in LORD ZARA who gave very fragile produce and it was always a risk for the owners. However the sire may have limitations of stamina, the racing style of the winners indicate suitability for speed. Unfortunately LEITIR MOR developed problems and was hardly utilized and has may be one or two foals in the forth coming season. C. The late CORPORATE JUNGLE was the weakest of the lot, did not give much impressive ones specially at the prime racing centres. Though he gave the Nilgiri derby winner I don’t see much more emerging. Since he has a sizable crop next year he will have winners in smaller centres like Chennai, Delhi etc. D. SUDIRMAN is a sob story for the breeders, he has failed again and may have an odd live one.
