MUMBAI RACES
1.
ROSWALD
and STARRING are racing at much different terms then in last clash when the
former went all the way and cruised home easily. The later has an advantage of
9 Kgs this time and should be able to come better off, the horse would have won
much earlier but for the crafty trainer whose horses are difficult to predict.
STARRING-ROSWALD.
2.
CAPRI has
form and a bunch of non performers to beat, top weight may be a worry but the
rider has to force the issue. GOTTAWEARSHADES may lead in, last run was bad. MANYARA may improve on the
last effort to place. TOP TRICK has some potential and the jockey is scoring
lately. LAZOR RAZOR is a winner of 2 races who has slid down to this level, the
trainer is an upset specialist.
CAPRI-GOTTAWEARSHADES-TOP TRICK.
3.
WINSTON
runs again and so soon, handicap is against and SET TO FLY had beaten him
easily earlier. JIMBO is tracking very well, has won all 3 races in sprints.
SET TO FLY has handicap in favor and gets a strong rider to repeat.
SET TO FLY-WINSTON.
4.
CAMPEON
was a decent 2nd who has matured well. ISADORA is a top bred and has
been tracking very noticeably, last run was not as per expectations and he is
likely to take time, may be fancied as the field is mostly non raced.
BEFOREMEMORYFADES has been prepared for long and looks a bit forward. INTESAR
is a well bred who may get involved. MINT APPROACH is by a good mare and tracks
are suggestive.
CAMPEON-ISADORA-MINT APPROACH.
5.
NOVAK was a faraway4 th , looks tough for win. LIGHT MY
WAY was a struggling 3rd who goes with an allowance rider, has not
won for long. PERFECT STRENGTH is being scrubbed in works, trip suits. EQUINOX
is an unreliable one, may run well with this rider. STARFIRE LADY has to improve to get on board.
VINCERO is another oldie who may earn something in this very suspect field.
LIGHT MY WAY-NOVAK-VINCERO.
6.
BRUNELLO
may do well due to the rider, has younger horses to deal with. KISMAT had won
very well earlier, distance is ideal. REINSTATE ran a good race in older lot
and should be watched for upset. QUEEN’S CAMP should like this distance, has
won in lower class comfortably. ZANTHOS was late to reach in last race, has not
been raced over this trip before. STAR BUILDER has been given any number of
reducing runs.
KISMAT-BRUNELLO -ZANTHOS.
7.
ONASSIS
comes into strong contention based on Invitation run, has not been worked in
tracks and the trainer has younger horses in the fray, difficult to assess
intent. RANTHAMBORE has always been thereabouts, last narrowly in the Super
mile. HEMISPHERE is the one who has promise, has always finished late, goes at
low weights with a no nonsense rider. MANYATTA can be in the frame if one goes
by the 1000 Guineas run, last run was very disappointing. MONTEZUMA is running
too soon, why make it run?
HEMISPHERE-RANTHAMBORE-ONASSIS.
8.
ACCLAIMED
is a well bred and may need a run here as the 2nd string rider has
been chosen. BLAZING FIRE is showing speed in tracks. OSRIC has been given an
easy run. QUEST FOR LOVE has been well tracked and may do well. TAHRIR has been
hardened with runs, has a good chance now. BARONESS is from a decent mare and
should be in contention based on runs.
TAHRIR-BARONESS-BLAZING FIRE.
9.
CAPITANO
who placed in last run has not been tracked, has been unreliable. SARISKA has
form and age on side. FOLLOW ME has a rookie, horse can surprise. MACHO UNO can
place. SPEED BABY has been given innocuous runs, may sprint well.
SARISKA-CAPITANO-FOLLOW ME.
