PUNE RACES
1.
VA BENE was
a faraway 2nd in last run, the sister to TRAVELYN does not appeal at
this weight.
ARABIAN
STORM had led in well and then tired out in a sprint, added distance will be a
burden.
SHAPATH from
the small time trainer has a fine chance if ridden as a try horse, looks in
trim, comes into reckoning on winter runs.
SP SPLENDID
had won comfortably beating many of the runners here in his last start, rider
repeats , has been worked but carries penalty for that win.
BLAZING BAY
from the unreliable yard had run a suggestive forward race, had taken over the
running at a stage but ballooned out, cant be sure of intent.
SIR
RAMON has been tracking for months, may
show out, performance so far has been disappointing.
THE PIE had
run an erratic race last time, has been well worked over the months, gets a
good rider for an unreliable trainer.
CECILIA has
low weights, has been well worked.
SHAPATH(3)-WIN
SO
SPLENDID(4)/THE PIE(11)-PLACE.
2.
SEA QUEST is
a black type winner whose fitness ids doubtful, goes at top weight.
HIGHLAND
LASS is a speedy one who is in forward form, had won the last start all the way
and would be trying the same again.
GODSWORD ran
a chasing home race against the too good BONAFIDE, stable mate is a superior
sprinter.
TURMERIC
TOWER is at low weights with the capable rider,is down in scales with soft
runs, had shown out in works prior to last held back run, will run true now.
TURMERIC
TOWER(8)-WIN
HIGHLAND
LASS(3) /GODSWORD(6)-PLACE.
3.
PRINCESS
ANNABEL has won twice under this average rider but at good odds , has been
tracked.
MENNILY is a
well bred half sister to SONGKRAN, had impressed in last win and looks much
improved in training this season, ran a promising gate practice.
SPEED AIR
was well backed last time and finished purposefully but a bit late, has
excelled in tracks and will fight out under this rider.
WORLD IS ONE
is a disappointing horse who appears to have shaped up far better than the
performance during last season, should improve as he is brother to RUFFINA.
SPEED
AIR(7)-WIN
MENNILY(4)/WORLD
IS ONE(8)-PLACE
4.
BARACK ran a
fine fighting 4th to SULTAN SULEIMAN, its going to be a test for the
raw rookie to ride a good race on this chance ride.
GALLANTRY
has raced against good types, is on the up and has been very well prepared, had
beaten SUNRISE RUBY conceding a Kg in weights.
MAKHTOOB
exploited the low weights to win close home from SUNRISE RUBY at near level
weights, has to ward of the penalty, has excelled in tracks.
ENID BLYTON
could not concede 2 Kgs to SUNRISE RUBY and was beaten in an earlier run,
distance may also be a factor here.
MY PRECIOUS
had surprised at this venue last year by going all the way and winning beating
MAKHTOOB by more than 6 lengths, has been given a lung opener.
TUDOR HALL
is going to carry extra weight, how much will be known at race time, has been
scrubbed in trials.
BARACK(1)-WIN
GALLANTRY(2)/MY
PRECIOUS(6)-PLACE.
5.
BOLD LEGEND
is half brother to OPHION, was finishing on in LIVE BY NIGHTs win over the
mile, has been nicely prepared.
CABO DE ROCA
partly owned by Ravi Shastri, is from a well performed got abroad dam, has been
well sharpened up in last 3 months.
WILLIAM
WALLACE is half brother to FLAG OF HONOUR, has impressed in a number of gates,
may run well.
WIND
WHISTLER is half brother to PRINCE VALIANT, was a faraway 3rd to
classy GIANT STAR in maiden run, has been well worked this season.
MELANIA is
half sister to black types MERITOCRACY and PASO ROBLES, ran a poor races last
season under good jockeys, trainer is one who is clearly not much to talk
about, horse has been working held back
most of the time, hence potential will be known only in the race.
MELISANDRE
is from an ordinary dam, has been well worked.
STREEK is
half sister to black type OOMPH, has been prepared.
BOLD
LEGEND(1)-WIN
WIND
WHISTLER(8)/MELISANDRE(11)-PLACE.
6.
STORM
BREAKER had led in and tired out over extra furlong last time, runs with hope
over the scurry.
HIDDEN GOLD
ran a notable race last time and now goes over right trip and the rider
repeats.
WILD FIRE is
down by numbers and class, is a speedy one who can be the up setter of the day.
DAZZLING
STAR is working impressively but faces younger horses.
HIDDEN
GOLD(2)-WIN
STORM
BREAKER)1)/WILD FIRE(5)-PLACE.
7.
LIVE BY
NIGHT is a well bred full brother to JAN
ZISKA one who won holding on in last outing over a mile, had struggled in
earlier runs also, has been meticulously prepared for the season here.
WHITE RIVER
is the doosra from the trainer who impressed in a late finish in maiden run
under this rider who chooses to ride him again, can make winning difficult for
this field as he is full brother to Pune Derby winner PIONEER and is very
impressive in works.
STORM
TRIGGER is half brother to black type PURE ZINC is looking good in trials and
may run a good maiden race.
CIRCLE OF
LOVE is a decent bred from the dam side and has tracked well, earlier runs were
disappointing and I don’t see the over rated trainer capable of bringing a fast
change.
WHITE
RIVER(5)-WIN
LIVE BY
NIGHT(3)/STORM TRIGGER(7)-PLACE
