who has been nicely prepared , failed when backed in last run, concedes weight
here.
MAJESTIC WARRIOR is in top
form and looks repeat with the good rider, races too soon for a youngster.
MYSTIC BAY is another
promising one gone wrong under the over rated trainer, disappointed a lot in
Bangalore, has impressed in a mock and may run an improved race.

who has been given a run after good preparation, looks in fine fettle.

3.
KNIGHT SUPERIOR who ran a
forward 3rd last time should uphold the name of his elder sister
RUFFINA today, is excelling in tracks.
BELGRAVIA is from an
ordinary dam, does not look much impressive despite being from the costliest
trainers yard.
PERFECT SHINING may place
in this group of weak opposition to the favourite.
PEZULA is tracking well,
was slow off in last run, was the false favourite then, should improve now.
KNIGHT SUPERIOR(2)-WIN
PEZULA(8)/BELGRAVIA(5)-PLACE.
4.
JULIO CESARO goes over
ideal distance and has a try rider.
TASCH is a top bred who
belongs to a recently reinstated offender of a trainer, has been given a hard
held mock, should run well.
BELENUS was the unlucky
looser in last run, may redeem failure.
TURMERIC TOWER races after
a good rest, gas been well scrubbed in tracks.
MS BOSS is from connections
who have not won this season , last run was poor when favourite, horse is bred
for speed and working well.

TURMERIC TOWER(6)/MS BOSS
(7)-PLACE.
5.
EXCELLENT GOLD has missed
many chances, does not appeal at top weight.
FLAMING MARTINI is playing
the role of bridesmaid too often, maintains zest in tracks.
Ignore last run of KING
KHALIL under a rookie, will run true now.
LESREL was a good winner
who lands against tough sprinters here.
JOPLIN is speedy and showing
out in tracks.
HEADWAY has to be favoured
for the good wins, is a top sprinter for his age and low weights are an
advantage, has come up in class and will find the going tough now.
KING KHALIL(3)-WIN
FLAMING
MARTINI(2)/HEADWAY(8)-WIN
6.
IRON AGE has showed out
with speedy back to back double at this centre but today he is carrying top
weight which is likely to take its toll in the final stages.
GOVERNOR GENERAL was one of
those who was moving impressively in the race won by IRON AGE, ignore last run
over the mile, he is the up setter of the day.
INTENSE STYLIST is on the
up and is shaping up as a good sprinter at this centre, has a fine turn of
foot.
ST ANDREWS who won fighting
hard is well placed on the scales against IRON AGE.
INTENSE STYLIST(4)-WIN
GOVERNOR GENERAL(3)/ST
ANDREWS(6)-PLACE
7.
SULTAN SULEIMAN has been an
excellent pick by the owners of the second string trainer, he is a well bred
half brother to Golconda Deby winner STAR PRESENTATION and ACRIDER who won the
Queen Elizabeth Stakes over a staying trip, the dam herself has won over the
Derby distance hence the horse who is the only unbeaten one should be the
favourite here.
TROUVAILLE had won over a
mile in Mumbai in a commanding fashion,
was pulled in earlier run and then fought out well against the last named . He
is looking best in tracks but has a mediocre pedigree and has more of speed
elements rather than stouter chromosomes.
VICTORIOUS SERMON who did
well in Bangalore could not accelerate when asked in last run out as a
favourite.
WIZZARD OF STOCKS was not a
serious contender in last run over this distance when TASSAWUR won as a good
thing. He was deliberately kept way back and only asked for an effort in the
straight, should like the distance .
RHAPSODY is the other one
from the fashionable stable who showed she has matured with a clinical maiden
win, but then the opposition was not that active. She is a nice bred but the dam
was an ordinary sprinter.
SULTAN SULEIMAN(5)-WIN
TROUVAILLE(6)/WIZARD OF
STOCKS(8)-PLACE
8.
FALCONETTE had won a maiden
race here last year over the scurry, may place.
WARRIOR CLAN races
after months, has been well tracked and
may appeal to some for the good rider.
AUSPICIOUS is another
costly one done in by the trainer, lost as favourite last time when running as
a first timer, has been well prepared and gets the strong rider.
REVELATOR from a nice bred
dam has raced in good company so far to merit a serious look here, is showing
out in tracks.
GODS DECREE is an ordinary
one who flopped after leading in.
AUSPICIOUS(3)-WIN
REVELATOR(6)/FALCONETTE(1)-PLACE
