1. SAIL PAST has been given runs in Mumbai and is ready to strike now after the initiation under a work jockey. QUATRO is sluggish in tracks. REPLICA is working nicely, is still a maiden. PORTA BANUS was a suggestive runner in last outing and has been worked well.MYTHICAL SUNRISE has a try jockey at low weights.
SAIL PAST (2)-WIN
PORTA BANUS(6)-PLACE
2. STARRY BROOK ran a good forward race and has an alowance rider today. KOROL ran a fair 3rd , is being sent over the distance first time. UNCLE SCROOGE ha handy in last run, had run a fighting race against SEVRUS in Mumbai. KOMMANDANT beat a weak field, is being worked nicely.
STARRY BROOK(1) -WIN
UNCLE SCROOGE(5)-PLACE
3. KANDINSKY has stiff penalty for last close win. AIRCO looks improved after last run. CHEF D OVRE is winner of class IV, may have been worked indoors, has come up with each run. Last years Derby winner has been given a mock, has runaway weights.
BULLRUN(5)-WIN
CHEF D OEVRE(4)-PLACE
4. A tough race to predict with many claimants. DOUBLE NINE has run forward races in winters and is showing out with speedy tracks. SHERLOCK is from a world class sire and though the dam is reasonably bred, this one has been patiently groomed, had shown out in Mumbai in mock and even here ran a very impressive 2nd in similar exercise. SIR DESMOND is half brother to in the sunrise and has come up a lot in tracks. LIPPE is a top bred but has a work jockey, may need a run. NEVER SAY NEVER has run well in graded races and is at the best handicap in this field. My choice is going to be UNFORGETTABLE YOU, she is bred in purple and despite having come to hand in winters has been patiently waited with, looks a hopeful for bigger events.
UNFORGETTABLE YOU(8)-WIN
SHERLOCK(2)/NEVER SAY NEVER(7)-PLACE.
5. JACKNIFE has run well but has weight against. ZABROK ran a good forward race and should be favored to win under a rookie, needs a confident ride. SECRET FLAME is in form and goes at low weights.WONDER STORY from the low grade trainer has a chance here.
ZABROK(3)-WIN
JACKNIFE(1)/ WONDR STORY(13)-PLACE.
6. VIA AMORIS is a sharp sprinter and has a chance with the good rider. DON CORLEONE was entrusted to a weak rookie and that cost the connections the race at longer odds, why couldn't they put AMIT earlier who is a much better rider? SPEAR OF TRIUM has been given trial runs, should score over the scurry at low weights.
SPEAR OF TRIUM(8)-WIN
VIA AMORIS(1)/ DON CORLEONE(6)-PLACE
7. BARRINGO is down a lot in scales, may surprise.MAGICAL DANCER blew up after a forward run, can not win so soon. ANVILL STAR runs after a year, is looking good in tracks. ORLA ran a bad race. LUCKY STRIKE from a small time trainer has been scrubbed for response in works, will run well.
LUCKY STRIKE(6)-WIN
ANVILL STAR(3)/MAGICAL DANCER(2)-PLACE
DAYS BEST=== UNFORGETTABLE YOU
