MUMBAI RACES
1. YOUR LORDSHIP had
run a length behind MONSIEUR STRAUSS who won well recently, should be the main
contender from this trainer who has pitched in a trio. BE COOL was an untried 3rd
who gets a good jockey, has won a race at top weight in this class before.
VICTORIAN CAUSE from a low performing stable gets a reasonable jockey for first
time. AURARIA is a winner of 3 races who is at low weights.
BE COOL-YOUR LORDSHIP-AURARIA.
2. The race appears
to be a match up between brother and sister, definitely ROMANTIC BEAUTY with a
runaway win over a trip should be favored to win, as she looks well rested and
in good condition in works. DANCE DEBONAIR showed out well in a staying gallop
recently. MONEY FOR NOTHIN has experience of running in such races.
ROMANTIC BEAUTY-DANCE DEBONAIR.
3. SOLI DEL GLORIA
has been given a run, has won over this trip before. IL MORAN is not impressive
in works, has a decent rider. DIVINE INSPIRATION who is a top bred lost as a
hopeless type, now gets a top international rider, can win if she was pulled
last time. IBIS ran below par in last run, has worked well. Change of name may
do the trick for the maiden WINNING DESTINY, handicap favors.
WINNING DESTINY-IBIS-DIVINE INSPIRATION.
4. RED BARON is a
winner of 4 races who is showing out in tracks, will fight out. CLINTON is a top horse
who won without being backed and won with the rider looking back, I don’t see
him loosing in present form.
CLINTON-RED BARON.
5. CENTRESTAGE showed
lots of improvement in her 2nd to VIJAY’S PRIDE, is conceding
crucial weight to good types. RELIC HUNTER won a very good race at Pune and is
showing out in mornings on the outer sand. BARRINGO was sighted as a winner
long way from home in last win and is in top form.
RELIC HUNTER-BARRINGO.
6. AMISTAAD needs
runs and time to mature. PHELPS from the freshman sire, who looks to be a
better than usual from this breeder is showing lots of speed in works, needs to
be considered despite a dismal record of the father& son trainer’s with
youngsters. REKINDLE dragged a helpless jockey to place in last run, will be
running a good race as she is very well bred and works are suggestive. TRANCE
from the promising freshman sire is showing out in works. VEENA’S STAR is
pleasing inn works.
REKINDLE-TRANCE-VEENA’S STAR.
7. SEVEN SEAS is a
good type but needs a run and extra yards. BONGONI ran a good forward race and
gets a better rider. MASTER OF THE SKY
has a chance to redeem if taken early to the front. RECKLESS ROMEO was
held up at a crucial juncture in last attempt, has a mature rider to redeem.
BELLA FIGURA has not raced for long, is impressive in works.
RECKLESS ROMEO-MASTER OF THE SKY-BONGONI.
8. AN ACQUIRED TASTE
has not lived up to the promise shown in summers, has trained well. BIZZARO is
a dark’un here, can shock. FRANKLIN
with just a solitary win gets the international rider, the dam could be highest
rated in the country. HACHIKO is a top contender who cut one of the fastest
time on outer sand which I have evr noted, all have to watch out from this one.
MANTEZUMA appears to be the best of SHROFF’S lot , has not let down in
outstanding wins and looks in top fettle, breeding is classic mould. SHIVALIK
HERO was a good 2nd in Pune Derby, has improved much there after and
has the best turn of foot. SILVER BIRCH is a class 1 winner who appears to be
going over a bit extra ground.
HACHIKO-MONTEZUMA-SHIVALIK HERO.
9. RIDING ON THE
STORM finished on well and should be trying to win here. WINDMILLM LADY is the
youngster who showed improvement in last run. ZEKI is working well and may
upset. STELLA can build up on last effort.
RIDING ON THE STORM-ZEKI-MINDMILL LADY.
10. WINSTON has been
prepared well, last run in good company be noted. BRAVE FIGHTER lost on the
post in last run, name change may suit. SHADOWS OF TIME covered ground and won
handsomely, looks improved. NEW WORLD
has form and a good rider.
WINSTON-BRAVE FIGHTER-SHADOW OF TIME.
