DARK EAGLE from the ordinary sire is showing out with speedy tracks and brother to FIRE OPAL should run well.

ISABELLA FOR MELBOURNE RACING CLUB TROPHY

HYDERABAD   RACES

1.

VIJAYS SINGHAM ‘s loss at cramped odds must be accepted as part of racing system in India, horses don’t run when extra weight of money comes on them as the magnetic attraction of bookies sachel bags attracts strongly and much more than what public knows goes into making such things happen, yesterday KNIGHT SUPERIOR is case in example.This one is looking good in tracks and if better odds are offered the half brother to ANDREUS  has no completion.

RENO STAR was 4^th in and accelerated smoothly to win well, maintains fine form in tracks, the decent bred is half brother to SAFFRON INTENSE.

WAH MS ZARA is from a dam with many winners in her produce, the half sister to speedy HIDDEN POWER won effortlessly all the way under the hard grip of Suraj, may repeat.

KIMBERLEY(3)/ALLISTON(4)-PLACE

The winning spree of HIGHLY ACCLAIMED was finally halted in last winter  run, horse has been tracked but lacks the eagerness of that time.

PHENOMENLA CRUISE is a versatile horse and has a fine chance based on last two wins, tracks are impressive.

ISABELLA is much better placed on scales today, was kept wide in last run, was the fastest finisher, should fight out and win in current form, despite being a loosing favourite deserves another chance.

ISABELLA(5)-WIN

PHENOMENALA CRUISE(3)/MOON DANCER(1)-PLACE.

7.

SARVATRA races in lower class, had won at this level under a try rider before, has been well worked.

MAJESTIC WARRIOR is in top form and looks repeat with the good rider, races too soon for a youngster.

MYSTIC BAY is another promising one gone wrong under the over rated trainer, disappointed a lot in Bangalore, has impressed in a mock and may run an improved race.

FREE GOLD is a well bred who has been given a run after good preparation, looks in fine fettle.

THOMAS HARDY(6)-WIN

MYSTIC BAY(3)-PLACE

3.

KNIGHT SUPERIOR who ran a forward 3^rd last time should uphold the name of his elder sister RUFFINA today, is excelling in tracks.

BELGRAVIA is from an ordinary dam, does not look much impressive despite being from the costliest trainers yard.

PERFECT SHINING may place in this group of weak opposition to the favourite.

PEZULA is tracking well, was slow off in last run, was the false favourite then, should improve now.

KNIGHT SUPERIOR(2)-WIN

PEZULA(8)/BELGRAVIA(5)-PLACE.

4.

Ignore last run of KING KHALIL under a rookie, will run true now.

LESREL was a good winner who lands against tough sprinters here.

JOPLIN is speedy and showing out in tracks.

HEADWAY has to be favoured for the good wins, is a top sprinter for his age and low weights are an advantage, has come up in class and will find the going tough now.

KING KHALIL(3)-WIN

FLAMING MARTINI(2)/HEADWAY(8)-WIN

6.

IRON AGE has showed out with speedy back to back double at this centre but today he is carrying top weight which is likely to take its toll in the final stages.

GOVERNOR GENERAL was one of those who was moving impressively in the race won by IRON AGE, ignore last run over the mile, he is the up setter of the day.

INTENSE STYLIST is on the up and is shaping up as a good sprinter at this centre, has a fine turn of foot.

ST ANDREWS who won fighting hard is well placed on the scales against IRON AGE.

INTENSE STYLIST(4)-WIN

GOVERNOR GENERAL(3)/ST ANDREWS(6)-PLACE

7.

SULTAN SULEIMAN has been an excellent pick by the owners of the second string trainer, he is a well bred half brother to Golconda Deby winner STAR PRESENTATION and ACRIDER who won the Queen Elizabeth Stakes over a staying trip, the dam herself has won over the Derby distance hence the horse who is the only unbeaten one should be the favourite here.

TROUVAILLE had won over a mile in  Mumbai in a commanding fashion, was pulled in earlier run and then fought out well against the last named . He is looking best in tracks but has a mediocre pedigree and has more of speed elements rather than stouter chromosomes.

VICTORIOUS SERMON who did well in Bangalore could not accelerate when asked in last run out as a favourite.

WIZZARD OF STOCKS was not a serious contender in last run over this distance when TASSAWUR won as a good thing. He was deliberately kept way back and only asked for an effort in the straight, should like the distance .

RHAPSODY is the other one from the fashionable stable who showed she has matured with a clinical maiden win, but then the opposition was not that active. She is a nice bred but the dam was an ordinary sprinter.

SULTAN SULEIMAN(5)-WIN

TROUVAILLE(6)/WIZARD OF STOCKS(8)-PLACE

8.

FALCONETTE had won a maiden race here last year over the scurry, may place.

WARRIOR CLAN races after  months, has been well tracked and may appeal to some for the good rider.

AUSPICIOUS is another costly one done in by the trainer, lost as favourite last time when running as a first timer, has been well prepared and gets the strong rider.

REVELATOR from a nice bred dam has raced in good company so far to merit a serious look here, is showing out in tracks.

GODS DECREE is an ordinary one who flopped after leading in.

AUSPICIOUS(3)-WIN

EXS AND OHS appears to be a negative name, has run accordingly, does not appeal based on poor runs.

PSYCHIC FIRE finished well to place in a sprint, rider repeats.

SUAREZ(4)-WIN

SHES A TIGER(2)/WILSHIRE(3)-PLACE.

2.

AIRMAX is from a well performed dam, has been working well, should improve.

ALEXEI is a top bred, the dam is well performed and sire is known for producing classic winners and stayers, the horse has been showing out in morning works, ran an eye catching mock and may be the favourite in the maiden run, would have been a good thing but for the fact which mires our racing industry ,ie., the doosra being the main threat as owner has pitched in HOKKAIDO who is ready to win any day, hence wait for the last minute odds to give you an idea which one to back.

MONK ran an indifferent race as a favourite, will run a much better race now.

WALK THE TALK is half brother to FLAMBOYANCE, is showing good tracks.

ALEXEI(2)-WIN

HOKKAIDO(6)/MONK(3)-PLACE

3.

GALLOPING GOLDMINE is brother to ISABELLA, was well prepared and ran a fair race against RHAPSODY, has a fine chance here.

SUPER MARIO is the joker of this pack, is still a maiden  at 5 but has a chance based on current good form.

GALLOPING GOLDMINE(2)-WIN

SUPER MARIO(5)/GOLDEN ERA(3)-PLACE

4.

BENGHAZI is brother to QUESTINA who may win later today, has been well trained and is from the precocious sire.

MAJOR GENERAL is from a well bred dam, the half brother to SUN, MOON AND STARS is looking the best in tracks and may strike early.

FLAME OF THE FOREST is nicely bred, the dam could never win though, the half sister to ADVIKA looks the best from the Narredu group, has been given a number of gates and is looking speedy.

QUEENSHIP has the better rider , is from an impressive dam who has given number of multiple winners over sprints, the half sister to SIMPLY SUPERB has the better rider of the three .

MAJOR GENERAL(3)-WIN

FLAMEOFTHE FOREST(5)-PLACE

IMPALA is speedy, distance is ideal, ran in up ahead till furlong post in BETWEEN THE WATERS win in this class.

ADELE and the rider are both much improved, can get the hat trick.

Coincidentally these were the 4 who had competed in this race last year.
