PUNE RACES
1.
The two
aged horses should vie for the top honor over this staying trip as the younger
ones have poor form and weaker riders. On comparison PERFECT STRENGTH has
scales in favor. ALLEGIANCE who is a failed favorite may appeal on handicap but
him going over this trip with a inexperienced boy is a big negative.
PERFECT STRENGTH-BLUE KINGHT.
2.
CLINTON
who has been working well may be favored here based on performance and
preparation, ignore last easy run. DEMONSTRATOR who finished well against NEONA
has never won at this distance before and age is against. SUPREME STAR has been
given a mock race only , but remember that a year ago he ran a good 2nd
in Pune Derby with no evident preparation.
SUPREME STAR-CLINTON.
3.
INFALLIABLE is full brother to SET ALIGHT and
ran a fair race in maiden attempt, will improve. PHELPS was finishing on in last race and despite the
margin of defeat that day, can be a serious contender here. THE MINISTERIAN has
been given a soft run and should be a prime contender now. INSIGNIA was kept
too far back in last race, this one who was a easy and notable 3rd to
ALAINDAIR is the one to trouble all the colts and geldings.
INSIGNIA-THE MINISTERIAN.
4.
CELSIUS
who ran well gets a weak rookie to shed some weight. TITLIEST has come down in
scales and will be the main contender over a scurry, has at higher weight with
this rider before. MUMBAI KING has a rider switch. BE COOL ran well enough to
be in firing line over pet trip. BLUSH is a winner of 6 races, has always been
kept in the lower classes to exploit the advantage of a good horse, kudos to
the trainer, he won well and may be looking to repeat with the top rider.
TITLIEST-CELSIUS-BLUSH.
5.
BARRINGO
has run fair enough last time and has been tracking with good ones of the
stables. ZAKHYNTHOS has been meticulously prepared by the owner cum trainer and
will run a forward race. SENORA BELLA is the sprinter type doosra from the
stable, needs this run, back her in
sprints only. MOON SHADOW ran a good race despite a slow getaway. VICTOIRE may
improve at low weights.
ZAKHYNTOS-BARRINGO-MOON SHADOW.
6.
DANCING
PRANCES will tear away in his customary style and has a chance of reaching the
post, has been rested and prepared well. MARIINSKY has run better than D
PRANCES in PBMM in Mumbai but has been a bit jaded lately, Bangalore Derby run
was poor. DYNAMO is from a good sire
and has looked good in tracks. HAWKER pleased the hearts of many with a scintillating
win as a maiden when not fancied strongly, has a top sire and a black type dam,
should be a serious contender. WAR HORSE is a beaten favorite who should improve.
INDIAN TOUCH has low weights.
DANCING PRANCES-HAWKER-MARIINSKY.
7.
HAWAIIN
PRINCESS is a good type sprinter who won all 4 starts after coming to hand,
extra yards and top weight may be the undoing today. AMAZING DESIRE won well but
has tough penalty to beat. SET TO FLY runs on better terms and has been
prepared for the day. STEP UP could not be ridden well last time and the same
poor rookie goes for a run, has handicap in favor.
SET TO FLY-HAWAIIN PRINCESS-STEP
UP.
8.
The 3
year olds are hopelessly placed. SEA PEARL has a chance , was beaten as a
favorite once. ANTIA has a number of runners and one of them may take off,
WINDS OF CHANGE can do well if he does not bleed. STELLA got badly thrashed last time as a favorite,
jockey repeats.
SEA PEARL-WINDS OF CHANGE-STELLA.
