PUNE RACES
1.
ARMAITY is a top bred full
sister to COSMOS and DAFFODIL, must have been prepared privately as she has
been sighted on local track very recently.
GODS DECREE is full sister
to JULIO CESARO, nothing much in breeding except speed, last 2nd to
SANDMAN was a fair effort and can win in this suspect field.
STARRINGO had run 2nd
to NAMAQUA and KARIEGA in her initial runs, the trainer could not bring her on
and went easy on her, latest tracks indicate she is back to some form.
Victorious spirit is from a
non raced but prolific producing dam, has been scrubbed in works.
GODS DECREE(6)-WIN
ARMAITY(3)/STARRINGO(7)-PLACE.
2.
An interesting race as all
competitors had clashed in race 78 and a simple look will show how the handicap
here favors EXCELLENT GOLD who had flashed late that day.
CLYMENE was shaping up when
blew up at the distance post, has top weight and does not appeal.
ST ANDREWS is an in and out
racer, came up strongly that day, has not won for long.
GAZINO has a reasonable
chance based on that run and the handicap.
EXCELLENT GOLD is shaping
up in tracks, has to be ridden well to score now.
EXCELLENT GOLD(5)-WIN
GAZINO(3)-PLACE.
3.
GALLOPING GOLDMINE had held
on to win maiden race over this distance at Mumbai , is stepping to race after
a long time, tracks have been non convincing, has run a good mock though, the
trainers performance this season has been nothing so far.
RHAPSODY is a nice bred who
has summered well at Bangalore after a maiden win in Mumbai, was well trained
but ran a lack lustre race against NORTHER ALLIANCE, has been shaped up very
well here.
HOKKAIDO is a well bred got
abroad who had impressed with a fluent notable finish to ICE FLOE at Bangalore,
had flopped when backed next time, has come up well in training here.
SPLASH is a half sister to
good type ISNT SHE SPECIAL, has a positive rider switch after a fair 2nd.
RHAPSODY(2)-WIN
HOKKAIDO(3)-PLACE.
4.
CLIFFS OF CAPRI from a well
performed international sire has disappointed with a bad run after good
preparation in last run, but then some of Shroff’s horses have run below par
under T Patel and later won.
CEST LA AMOUR chased home
the well backed winner DREAMS in last run and will be to trouble all, runs too
soon after last run.
NORTHERN SINGER is a nice
bred half sister to POWER OF THOR and GRAN TURISIMO, can run an improved race.
NOTORIETY has been well
tracked and is looking impressive, the dam has given mediocre ones mostly.
CLIFFS OF CAPRI(1-WIN
CEST LA AMOUR(4) /NOTORIETY(7)-PLACE
5.
AURODEN finished well in last outing, was not tried
in all runs in Mumbai, can build on last run.
COLLEGIUM has not won for
long, runs in lower class now, has been well prepared, impressed in a mock.
EBONY won finishing on
spiritedly and that will prompt the in form trainer to have another go.
USTAD PEDRO ran a forward
race, has a positive rider switch.
AURODEN(1)-WIN
COLLEGIUM(4)/USTAD
PEDRO(8)-PLACE.
6.
SUAREZ was ridden to win
but could not hold off the challenge of the favourite in last run, has some
hope again-
GOLD MAGIC had shaped to
win when floored by POWER OF THOR, rider repeats.
HI HO SILVER is in fine form,
rookie has to really excel to do well.
DREAM TRAIL led in well but
could not sustain, added distance be factored.
GOLD MAGIC(6)-WIN
SUARWZ(2)/HI HO
SILVER(8)-PLACE.
