FUTURE BRIGHT(8)/ TORANTO(5)-PLACE

2.

SUMMER PALACE was manipulated to loose when running as a well backed favorite, it has been seen that the horses belonging to the fugitive MAALYA have been running much in and out and it is best to ignore these, trainer sends them for pacy works and public backs, but end result is mostly disappointing.
DAZZLING BEAUTY lost to CONCEPT WIN who won again yesterday, can win on sincere effort.
THE INVADER is a failed favorite who is tracking well.
THREE WISHES is working very nicely, looks a tryer, is half brother to INVITO VERITAS , distance is ideal and has been given a soft run.
.TOUCH YOUR DESTINY has a try rider and is impressive in tracks.
AGNAR is notable in tracks, has come to hand, is still to place.

THREE WISHES(7)-WIN

THE INVADER(6)/ SUMMER PALACE(1)-PLACE.

3.

SUPER SMART maintains form but has a weak rider at top weight.
NANHI PARI ran much above her level in last run, has an allowance rider for a forward run.
ST PAULI GIRL is running good races under a non performing jockey, has a keener rider now.
GOOD TIMES INDEED beat NOAH’S ARK who won comfortably yesterday, is working in fine fettle.
STAND OUT steps up in distance, has decent form.
SPORTING PLEASURE had won 2 years back, has been a problem horse for the good trainer, could not respond even under the best rider D ALLAN, last run was very suggestive when the weaker rider could not force his way for the keen horse.


NANHI PARI(2)-WIN

SPORTING PLEASURE(6)/ ST PAULI GIRL(3)-PLACE.


4.

What happened to SALAZAAR in last run is just like the same story of miserably failing favorites all over the country, true answer is hard to digest, may put in a fighting run this time.
DANCING DRAGON is the form horse who won beating a top horse and will be the short price favorite of the day, is in roaring form.
KAMBAKU has capabilities over the Derby distance, needs good jump.

DANCING DRAGON(2)-WIN

SALAZAAR(1)-PLACE.


5.

ERDEMIR races first time in season, has been showing very impressive works, distance may be short.
WAR HERO has impressed in couple of gates, will benefit from last forward run.
ANNALEASE is the youngster who can run well in whip less race.
MAYWEATHER ran a good forward race and is in fine fettle, don’t look at the rider, can go all the way.

MAYWEATHER(8)-WIN

WAR HERO(6)/EWANDOR(1)-PLACE


6.

ALL BY MYSELF has form, goes at top weight, was interfered with in last run.
LOVELY SIERRA is the only youngster in this set up , has a keen rider but has been average in runs.
ZED CLASS from a non performing trainer has been well worked, may earn something as she has age on side.
AMALFI CAOST has been brought down in scales, may be backed.
PROUD WISH has raced with much better types, rider repeats.
SHIVALIK BOY is a lethargic one who needs coaxing, can finish on.

PROUD WISH (7)-WIN

LOVELY SIERRA(2)/ALL BY MYSELF(1)-PLACE.

7.

PRINCESS RUMELA is a sissy type , has early speed, may hold on as draw favors.
DEPTH CHARGE had run a good 2d to SUDHA in winters, ignore last easy run.
One can understand T Patel’s accepting rides from the crooks for certain reasons, the horse ROSEBROOK was not on job last time, still he rides, watch for backing.
Odyssey has a chance in this set up, has not won for 3 years, may oblige the new connections who have been patiently paying for his upkeep for more than a year.
LIMATO has fair form, rider repeats.

ROSE BROOK(6)-WIN

PRINCESS RUMELA(2)/DEPTH CHARGE(5)-PLACE



DAYS BEST= DANCING DRAGON
