PUNE RACES


Hello Friends, I returned on 18th after a refreshing sojourn and surely missed the racing scene here. Pune races have been dominated by favorites and N Lagad keeps on sending out winners as his strategy of giving runs and targeting horses for seasons has worked well. The top trainer P Shroff is bound to be in the hunt as he has lots of good types with him. There is bound to be some heated debates over the soon to be decided fate of three trainer’s for banned substance enquiry in samples of their wards , the stewards decision is to be made public this week. I give out my selections based on ltd inputs as the break has affected my data base and it will take some time to get into full involvement.


1. ARABIAN FIGHTER comes down in class and will be in the fray for the betting but not so successful betting stables of the experienced trainer. MRIGNAYNEE looks a sitter to me after the drop of two classes and the winner of 4 races at Delhi can surely beat this lot in the lowest class. FULL THROTTLE is the aged one from the watched stables who ran well enough last time. HI DOLLY and COUNTRY MAN may evoke some interest but have lots of negatives.

MRIGNAYNEE-ARABIAN FIGHTER-FULL THROTTLE.

2. JEN,S GLORY was a faraway 2nd and now goes with an improving apprentice jockey, looks difficult for a win. SWAGGER is from a top grade sire and despite being with a regarded stable has not impressed in his runs. ATLANTIC STAR comes into reckoning on his preparation after the opening day. HONEY BEE has down by a lot but is from a most backward stable with a poor strike rate for even placing horses.


ATLANTIC STAR-JEN’S GLORY-SWAGGER.


3. APACHE INDIAN ran a good 2nd under a try jockey, top weight is against but he can win as the field is suspect. PERFECT STRENGTH should place once again, can stay the trip. Everything except the rider are negatives for OCEAN WARRIOR. ETIQUETTE goes over a long trip for first time, has scope to improve. MONEY FOR NOTHIN was a notable 3rd and should be fancied based on rider switch and low weights.


MONEY FOR NOTHIN-APACHE INDIAN-PERFECT STRENGTH.


4. Patience and planning has paid for the owner of PHOSPHOR who brought down this speedy type by giving insipid runs in last two seasons and then striking twice here. The negative rider switch is evident, Chauhan is no match for Narredu, see how he scored a going away win on RIP VAN WINKLE yesterday on whom Chauhan had always made heavy weather. ANGEL’S PURSUIT is being steadily bought down, can out speed all on his day. STAR OF KILLARNEY is a well bred with the top jockey who looks good too me. EMERALD VALLEY needs this run.


STAR OF KILLARNEY-PHOSPHOR-EMERALD VALLEY.


5. HEAVENLY PRIZE for the betting connections has a decent chance to place, the horse ran well last time. HOME ALONE has the pedigree but the mixed up jockey needs to be avoided for some time. LAKE GENEVA could not win under R Hughes in attempts in winters, has her work cut out. MISS STARLIGHT had opened as a favorite in Mumbai where PRONTO PRONTO was making a debut, she has beaten LAKE GENEVA before, the question is the threat of suspension hanging over the trainer’s head.


LAKE GENEVA-MISS STARLIGHT-HEAVENLY PRIZE.


6. ASHWA PRAJOT has a positive rider switch after the last good effort. SUGAR LOAF has a fair pedigree and last run was an opener. BE COOL may run on board. MISHRI had impressed in winters, it appears that she was given runs in Bangalore, something was missing somewhere and the trainer who has a record for loosing on public fancies and hoodwinking the system, also he is likely to take it easy this season after the longish stint in last two seasons. SMASHING is the well bred who looks good from works.

MISHRI-SMASHING-ASHWA PRAJOT.


7. TELL ME MORE at top weight has his task cut out, last run has caught the public eye but can not be considered a good thing as he is conceding weight to TZIGANE who is much better placed on terms than in race 138 of Mumbai. EMERGING STAR may place. Others have ltd credentials to be fancied.

TZIGANE-TELL ME MORE-EMERGING STAR.

DAYS BEST===MRIGNAYNEE

DOUBLE------STAR OF KILLARNEY X MISHRI
