PENTAGRAM FOR K WADIYAR CUP

Saturday, May 16, 2015


BANGALORE OPENING DAY RACES

Bangalore racing was at a low according to me in last season with lots of manipulative action where most owners trainers adopted the policy of wait when a horse stated to be backed heavily, hardly any close races as the well backed winners were sighted well before the distance post.
The season opens with lots of ifs and buts for me as about 50% horses are running under new owners and trainers, intent can not be judged in such cases. A big factor is the different track conditions and the showery conditions which will favor the younger lot more. Not being a local I can not really comment on the nexus between some very prominent players, racing here does not compare well with most other centres in the country. Out side horses will soon be in the fray to make it further perplexing to work out winning possibilities. Any which way racing is still prime passion and here is wishing you all a very profitable season and hopefully things will work out well.

1. REFERENT is from a good sire but an ordinary mare, has been given gates and a couple of tracks. SPIRIT AND TRUTH , a half brother to STEP UP flopped as a favorite, has lots to do. SUPER SUCCESS was an interested front runner against a too good winner, has impressed in preparatory work. TOPAZ was backed heavily and could not deliver, ignore here. ALEXANDRITE has impressed in gates, looks quite forward, has decent bloodlines. SILKEN WATER has speedy pedigree, appears to have been sharpened up in the break.

SUPER SUCCESS(5)-WIN

SILKEN WATER(12)/REFERENT(3)-PLACE

2. The pair of HARD TO GET and JOEY have a chance, the former showed out in tracks and has a better rider. RULING PASSIONS should be interested, has always been ridden by try riders but is yet to win. SHINNING BAY has age on side, looks a weakling on performance. TIC TAC TOE should like the underfoot conditions at low weights, may upset.

RULING PASSIONS(9) -WIN

TIC TAC TOE(12)/ HARD TO GET(5) -PLACE

3. GOOD PROSPECT had run well in maiden run and can do well even though the horse has not been tracked much. SALADIN is half brother to ERAGON , has been tuned up well by the trainer. ANGEL DUST is from a mediocre sire, was a finisher against a good winner in winters, is excelling in tracks. DANCING PRINCESS is showing forward tracks. MISS CEYLON was a forward runner, has a good sire, may be tried? STRIKING VIEW is from a weak mare, has been sharpened up.

ANGEL DUST(8)-WIN

SALADIN(6)/GOOD PROSPECT(4)-PLACE

4. CARBONADO has showed speedy track but rookie rider under new trainer are negatives. ALECIA had run suspiciously under this rider who may amend by giving a more sincere ride today as the filly is working well and showed out in gates. MEHERANI had fought out well in last run, has a mature rider. BREAKING AWAY from a good trainer has been given runs last season, has low weights, handicap is appealing but has not been worked openly.

ALECIA(3) -WIN

BREAKING AWAY(12)-MEHERANI(4)-PLACE

5. SHEER ELATION had run into problems in last run, has been showing no ill effects in present season and tracks are very suggestive. ANDROSTOS has always been on fringes with suggestive runs, the return of the suspended trainer may work well, has impressed in morning works.TURF TACTICS is working well. THUNDERBURST had led in and flopped, goes at low weights.

ANDROSTOS(5)-WIN

SHEER ELATION(1)/TURF TACTICS(8)-PLACE

6. CONSPICUOUS from the younger lot was the most impressive winner who went away from the field in the last furlong, is catching the eye with top tracks. LET THERE BE LIGHT, THE LIEUTENANT and BALIAN had all won at good odds as they were not well supported. THE LIEUTENANT has a fine sire and is showing out in works. BALIAN is from a well bred mare and half sister to MAUNA KEA as trained on well. From the older lot WILD WILD ANGELS is maintaining good form and the connections may be tempted to have a go in this field.

CONSPICUOUS(5)-WIN

BALIAN(9)/ THE LIEUTENANT(7)-PLACE

7. SHIVALIK STAR who likes the cut in turf is showing customary speedy tracks, has better class than the oldies. ACE BADRAAN is tracking in fine fettle, runs after long. ROYAL SLUTE has tough job at this level to beat the nearly same field again. SMILE STONE had done well in winters, has a try rider. PENTAGRAM was finishing on well in last run, has age on side.

PENTAGRAM(12)-WIN

SMILE STONE(6)/SHIVALIK STAR(1)-PLACE

8. MAGICAL LIGHT has been given gates , should improve upon last fighting win, had won as the favorite was not on the job, concedes weight now. REAL SUPREME steps down in distance after a showy win, shady connections , may be tried. SANDS OF TIME is working nicely, has a raw rookie, handicap appeals. SHIVALIK EYES has been hampered in running in last two outings, has a useful handicap, rider is a casual one, may upset.

SANDS OF TIME(7)-UPSET

MAGICAL LIGHT(1)/SHIVALIK EYES(11)-PLACE

9. FRESH START needs a bit of luck, has been tracking in pink condition. ONTIME has been a bookies delight, has suspicious connections. INDIAN LEGEND won comfortably and has been showing impressive works. WHAT A WONDER won finishing on, has a try rider. EQUAL TERMS has not been given try runs, has low weights, runs after long break.

FRESH START(1)-WIN

INDIAN LEGEND(5)/ONTIME(3)-PLACE
