MYSORE     RACES

 

Too many horses from one trainer is not necessary that he is going to win many races, it is often a ploy of a confused mind. M S QURESHI has many entries and has a chance to score on some of them, but hoodwinking is common at this low reputed venue.

RAPTOR(7)-PLACE.

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.
