1. The maiden race should be confined to the Jodi of ROSES ARE FOREVER and SO CLEVER. The former could not handle the pressure and had veered out as a favorite, the later had run much earlier and veered out similarly, both were well backed favorites. The former has a speedy sire but a weak trainer, the later is tracking well and has the top rider for the top trainer. The former has run recently and may hold a slight edge over the later who has hardly been worked. BIG NEWS who ran an improved race has a chance to place ahead of the tear away filly ASHWA PREETI.
ROSES ARE FOREVER(7)-WIN
SO CLEVER(9)/BIG NEWS(1)-PLACE .
2. BRIVERRE should be a good bet as she has only to beat GHUNGROO who leads well but does not have the staying power till the finish, the aged rider is another negative. ASHWA GAURAVI is from a moderate sire but has a smart rider. SHE IS INDIA is tracking fast and has been given a run.
BRIVERRE(4)-WIN
SHE IS INDIA(7)/GHUNGROO(6)-PLACE.
3. LET THE LION ROAR looks comfortably placed on handicap but can he speed up in a sprint, answer is negative. TATANKA has beaten him before though the rider could be faulted for taking his time to urge. TOP RISK is an ordinary bred with a top rider. LADY has been performing fine and should be a serious contender for places. SEA MOON has low weights but will trouble the field as she is nicely bred and has a mature rider for this race course.
