PUNE RACES
1.
APACHE
INDIAN is down in class, has won a race earlier in similar company. PERFECT
STRENGTH can try to place at this trip
with a late finish. SAVAGE GARDEN does not appeal as a stayer. FIFTH GEAR who
is from a very modest stable placed first time in last run and the good rider
can fancy his chances here.
FIFTH GEAR-APACHE INDIAN.
2,
CARLYLE HILLS should be fancied for the trip. BRUNELLO is in top form
and has nothing much to beat with the ace rider. RODEO is the youngster who had
won a maiden race over a trip, was an improved 2nd in last run,
needs to add more in handicap to win here.
BRUNELLO-CARLYLE HILLS.
3.
STEP UP
had flopped as a heavily backed down favorite, has been regularly exercised and
is appealing on works, has a very average jockey at top weight. INTEQUAM can
run for places. ALWAYS SMILE is a demotee but the rider does not impress. SCARAMOUCHE
from the sly trainer can win if odds are good, has worked very well. POUND
FOOLISH has the rider to build up on last run. DIVINE INSPIRATION runs after a
long time and does not appeal on handicap also.
SCARAMOUCHE- -STEP UP-POUND FOOLISH.
4.
COCCINELLA is a good type who may be going for
a run as is the case with most striking runners. YUVILLE won so well that a
repeat is a possibility but the trainer is known for his knack of getting an adverse run from public fancies, watch for
rates and make a choice. MARTINIQUE was an eye catcher in last attempt, may be
ON from the” lying low” trainer. SNOW BLAZE showed return to form with the last
forward run and may go all the way with the low weights.
SNOW BLAZE-YUVILLE-MARTINIQUE.
5.
MACEDONIAN has been prepared and has the good
rider. SOUTHERN REGENT won well in weaker company. ARMEL is a well bred who
should be fancied if backed by the
betting stables. INDISCRETE is coming up in works.
MACEDONIAN-ARMEL-SOUTHERN REGENT.
6.
HOME
ADVANTAGE has not run as per the good tracks, even the summering at Bangalore has
not helped. HONEST PLEASURE is working a lot improved way. MONTEZUMA is full
brother to black type ORDAINED ONE, has taken time to come to hand, impressed
in a couple of mocks but looks suspect in a mile race in first run. QUE SERA
SERA is tracking well and has performed reasonably well this season.
QUO SERA SERA-MONTEZUMA-HOME ADVANTAGE.
7.
CELESTIAL
CALL has handicap in favor, has a good rider, distance may be an issue. VOYAGER
won easily and is bound to improve over trips now. ROESTI has won at these
weights with this rider last year, will be in fray today. LIGHT MY WAY is
better [placed on scales than ROESTI and is working fit. HEART THROB is a well
bred who should be involved here.
VOYAGER-LIGHT MY WAY-ROESTI.
8.
GREATNESS is a demote who can score as he is tracking fine.
IRRESSISTIBLE HULK has a chance to fight out, last run was good. FIREHEART
showed good early speed to win in fine timings. AFROJACK was an eye- catcher in
last fighting run. BORAK is tracking well, needs a run.
AFROJACK-FIREHEART- GREATNESS.
9.
TAMARAI
has been given gate after gate, can win from the front if he breaks out well.
BUCHAREST will look to repeat. SILVER SILVER can be the upsetting one, has come
down a lot. MOUNTAIN SONG won in close finish, looks difficult for repeat. PABLO
NERUDA has fitness problems, races after a long break. CALYPSO QUEN can run
well if fancied by the stables.
TAMARAI-SILVER SILVER-BUCHAREST
