1. GALWAY GIRL has a try rider after tracks, had won last year at Mysore. YOURÉ SO HANDSOME gets a top rider after a late finish. KING SMILE looks good on comparison, needs a better effort from the saddle, the rider is looking a shadow of himself with poor effort on most mounts.RAMON has a raw rookie, can run well.
KING SMILE(3) -WIN
YOURE SO HANDSOME(2)/ RAMON(6)-PLACE
2. MISS WONDER runs first time in season, has pleased in track.ELEGANT STAR was ridden out to place, looks a tryer again. FIRST STEP is a failed favorite who was ridden tenderly and met with interference , has a proper rider to redeem. BOLTS COLT from a small time trainer gets the best rider, has to be considered. DONT WORRY MONDAY has been fooled around with, can strike.
FIRST STEP(8)-WIN
BOLTS COLT(10)/ELEGANT STAR(7)-PLACE
3. ICE GLOW has been sharpened up nicely after last sluggish run under a rookie. INTEGRATED is working well. FESTIVE CHEER had conceded much weight to ICEGLOW in winters, has better scales today, needs John to ride like yesterday.SPIRIT AND TRUTH may find distance a bother, was done in by gates as a favorite.
FESTIVE CHEER(5)-WIN
ICEGLOW(3)-PLACE
4. Ignore last run of AMAZING REDD, he will run a big race under this jockey today. FAIR GAME looks a cinch at this handicap and with this rider, I can not vouch for the trainer who has been a let down ever since his return after dope findings and suspension.SUPER STRONG may be tried. BLUES LEGEND is the oldie who has slid down in handicap. CONQUISTADOR has a switch of riders after a forward run.
FAIR GAME(3)-WIN
AMAZING REDD(2)/ BLUES LEGEND(8)-PLACE
5. SHIVALIK STAR has beaten ACCLAIMED, SMILESTONEand PENTAGRAM easily in CM Cup last month. DUBAI ONE was the hot favorite who was slow out, looks in fit condition now but is badly placed on scales this time.One out of ETERNAL FLAME and LIGHT OF MAGIC is likely to show out, my hunch is the later who has been given a run. SATTELITE is not a sharp racer.
LIGHT OF MAGIC(8)-WIN
SHIVALIK STAR (4)/SMILESTONE(5)-PLACE
6. HARLEY QUINN has been placing after slow getaways, puts her in doubtful category.ROMANTIC HELEN from an ordinary mare is speedy. distance will suit. SAGA ran below par as favorite, happens with many such from this trainer who knows how to hoodwink, STORM AHEAD, ANNANTANARIVO and specially FABULOUS had all played traunt when backed well by public earlier, yesterday was a different story. TANGALOOMA , a half sister to STAR, showed good early speed, 3rd to ESCALA who won easily yesterday puts her in with a good chance.
TANGALOOMA(10)-WIN
SAGA(9)/ROMANTIC HELEN(8)-PLACE
7. ONLY PRINCESS runs on demotion under a weak rider, has a handicap chance. HAPPY HOURS has a huge rider switch after a suggestive run. RARE AND FAMOUS runs in lower class, is tracking fine.BLAZING FAITH can run well, races after a long break.INDIAN BRAHMOS may be tried as distance suits.
HAPPY HOUR(3)-WIN
ONLY PRINCESS(2)/ BLAZING FAITH(5)-PLACE
8. RAKSHITA could not pace up last time, has incurred penalties for the placings. COLOUR OF GOLD should be a strong contender after a suggestive run under a work jockey. GOOD FRUIT is being waited with. TEMUJIN is speedy , can place again.
COLOUR OF GOLD(3)-WIN
TEMUJIN(6)/ RAKSHITA(1)-PLACE.
