JUVENILES AND THEIR SIRES===2013

JUVENILES AND THEIR SIRES IN 2013




A. The second half of  2012-2013 season is about to commence in coming days with racing at Bangalore and Mysore taking off on fresh tracks rejuvenated by the current rains in the Karnataka region. The present period marks the halfway stage of the country’s racing calendar with no racing except the ignored by all except the locals at the lovely hill station at Udhagamandalam. It provides us opportunity to study the young stock which will be dominating the racing interest in the coming summer/ monsoon months. A good number of races for two year olds (who turned three year olds on Ist Jan) have gone by at all the racing centers and a fair number of hopefuls for future laurels have been spotted.  The interest in coming months racing will be on such  prospects. A few names are going to be added to this list winners of maiden races, million and multi-million races but it has been my experience that the ones who do well initially are likely to continue with their domination. The future potential & strength of this young crop will now be judged during the summer/monsoon season, mainly at Bangalore and later at Pune/Hyderabad when the maturing juveniles  are going to contest in age group and class races. A fair number of outside horses are going to participate mainly in three year old category in Bangalore, some seriously and some for summering purposes to tone up for kills once back at Hyderabad etc. Apart from a large percentage of the youngsters who have had experience in winters, some maidens are still to have a feel of real competition and some exciting prospects are likely to catch the attention as they mature and race.

B. The early value of a juvenile race horse is primarily judged from the Sire’s influence and established record with the previous crops or expectations as per pedigree and performance in case of freshman sires. The dams are equally important and enhance the prospect with established families, bloodlines and personal track performance. The most significant aspect in judging a Sire’s value is his potential to produce classic/graded race winners. Sires are known to  provide early winners or precocious stock and are preferred for this important trait of theirs. The structure of racing is such that it  provides for youngsters to pick up better stakes in juvenile races than when they race in handicap races. Hence a lot of attention is given to the Sires who perform well with offspring’s who come to hand quickly and promise more achievements in early stages of their career.

 C. Let us now take a look at the winner producing sires for juveniles this year. A total of 1804 live foals were reported for the year 2010 by the stud Book Of India publication “Return Of The Mares ” and due to various natural causes a small percentage of these will not make it to the race courses. Also out of these about 9% horses are from stud farms catering mainly for Chennai and Ooty racing centres from the 4 sires located in Tamil Nadu,  (ALWAYS A RAINBOW, DECADO, FOYER, MARCUS ANDRONICUS,  are not being considered as racing coverage at these centres is mostly irrelevant due to various reasons like monopoly of  locals & lack of true competitiveness. In the rest of the country about 212 three year olds (listed against their respective sires) have already gone on to win races, overall a small percentage.

D. A total of 164 sires have sired the crop of 2010 out of which 85 were locals and 79 sires are from outside the country and their foals were got abroad. 52 resident and 16 standing abroad sires have got winners so far. The details of the winners (mentioned along with the name) in the season 2012-13 are discussed hereafter. The winning crop of 2/3 year olds (@) is mentioned for reference.  Black type winners are shown in capitals. The details of Black Type winners/places ($) during last racing calendar year are also mentioned for interest and perusal. The details of other BLACK TYPE winners in India from the respective sires are shown * subsequently.
LOCAL SIRES

1.  ACE (77) by DANEHILL in his 2nd crop has 11 winners .

@ aventurous, artorious, mars, dancing prances(2),sardar khan, forest ranger(2),desert wings, mint approach(2),coral springs, saturday affair & zorawar.

$ BLUE ACE,EQUINE LOVER,NEONA, amazing desire, shararat, unforgettable & winning tactics.

The sire from the top breeding establishment in the country is a shade below expectations. The Poonawallas have been fortunate to have the likes of AL NASR ALWASHEEK, PLACERVILLE, RIYAHI & MALVADO standing and delivering top class racers over the years. ACE has done well over sprints and has reasonable precociousness in his produce but there is an apparent shortage of class as the racers have doubts in staying ability.


2.  ARABIAN GULF (30) by SADLER’S WELLS in his first crop has flopped-no winner.

3. BLACK CASH (31) by DEPOSIT TICKET in his 6th crop has 6 winners.

@ rahul’s diamond, campeon, wings of fortune, anassa, cash my way & emperor of france(2) .

$ DEJA VU, anahi & picasso.

* PICASSO,VIJAYRAAJ,QUEST FOR CASH.

A reasonable sire who was dogged with fertility problem has performed in patches. The produce is precocious and likes firm terrain, a large number of winners have come at Mumbai, but the runners tend to dislike the monsoons.


4. BURDEN OF PROOF (45) by FAIRY KING in his 10th crop has 14 winners.

@ MARIINSKY, apparition, scuderia(2), cristoffe, keturah(2), staying the best(2), alcazaba, all proof, scarlet ohara, agostini, acclaimed, colourful prince, Astaire & senora bella(2).

$ DAYS BEST, SPEARHEAD, SURYALAXMI,celebrity,chase the sun, ceil indienne, cielo rey, cirque du soliel, jersey girl, nickel chrome, silken touch, sovetskaya & speed six.

* ARABIAN PRINCE,ABOLINE, APRILLIA, CLASS APART, PROOF ,FULL SPEED, FANTABULOUS KING, FLEETING ARROW, LINDSAY, ABS FABS, STARANZANO, SO PERFECT, SANS PAREIL, CAMARIOCA, TSAROVITE, WOMAN ON TOP and SARABANDE.

The grandson of Northern Dancer had the best performers during the last couple of years. He has dominated the racing at Bangalore in recent years with some precocious stock. Come Bangalore summers and his stock just excels in the cut of the turf. The sire has given good sprinters and middle distance winners, the recent crops have even shown good staying traits.



5.  CARNIVAL DANCER (42) by SADLER’S WELLS in his 6th crop has 4 winners.

@ havok, dimple(2) ,Bacardi blast & sunshine dancer.

The sire has been a disappointment in England and may be considered over staying trips as he lacks spark in his produce.

6. CHATHAM STRAIT (15)  by DEPUTY MINISTER in his 2nd crop has 2 winners.

@ bazigar(3) & la travita.

7.  COOL CREEK ( 21) by DESERT STYLE in his 2nd and last crop remains winless.

8.  CROWN JEWELS (17) by OASIS DREAM in his 2nd crop has 3 winners.

@ yalamlam, dot on time & sunglow(2)


9.  DANEHILL STAR (35) by DANEHILL DANCER in his  6th crop has 3 winners

@ caught the eye(2),dazzling wave & mumtaz begum.


10. DECLARATION OF WAR ( 15) by OKAVANGO in his first crop has one winner.

@ stiletto.

An average freshman sire

11.  DON MICHELETTO ( 17) by MACHIAVELLIAN in his 11th crop has 2 winners.

@ beau ideal & snow face.

$ SWISS DON, dark avenger & flying spur.

* SPARKS

12.  EL JOHAR(26)  by NASHWAN in his 7th crop has 5 winners.

@nano belle, master tiger, military cross, mini cooper and lucky(3).

* SPOT ON & COMMON KNOWLWDGE.                      

13.  EPICENTRE (55) by KRIS S in his 3rd crop has 12 winners.

@ master fighter, attitude, aware, miss castle(2), something stupid(2), male superior, golden arrow, sweet water(2), imperial assault, black n pink , bayonet (2)and al sahail.

This well performed grand son of Roberto has been a revelation this year, his number of winners is impressive, one could argue about the centres but  winner is what an owner wants. The offsprings have proved valuable for the reasonable sums paid for them. Hopefully some owners at southern and western centres will take a look at his performance.

14.  GASWAR (16) by SHADEED in his 14th crop has 4 winners.

@ dandelion, loving angel, absolute pleasure & love is life.

$  KOHINOOR WISH & sheer genius.

*I MMENSE,RECONNECT,FAME STAR, ASTOUNDING GALLOP,TOMSK & FLOATING ASSET.

The sire from a mediocre farm has done well overall . The aging grand son of Nijinsky gives good sprinters and middle distance performers. The produce takes time coming to hand.



15.  GLORY OF DANCER(40) by SHAREEF DANCER in his 14th crop has 2 winners.

@.  Isadoro & fortune favors.

$  ONASSIS, kyles of bute & sikander.

*ANTONIOS, HOTSTEPPER, DANCING DYNAMITE, BLURR, GLORIOUS BREAKER, ADRIAN, BEAUTIFUL STRANGER, CABRIOLET, ELOISE, MIDNIGHT COUP, JUVENTUS, KAISER, NAPOLEON & FRUIT OF GLORY.

The late  good sire was a study in breeding, his crop  took time coming to hand and rarely won in initial outings. I can bet that even the foreign trainer of the offspring of SET ALIGHT will have to sweat it out .  There have also been reservations about the younger lot  not doing well in monsoons due to the cut  and grassy conditions. The crops mature late and  revel in dry and sound turf. He was highly successful in the Mumbai seasons.

16. HAMMERSTEIN (19) by KRIS in his 8th crop has one winner.

@ amazing master(2).

17.  HOME AFFAIRS (13) by DANSILI in his 2nd and last crop has yet to get a winner.

$ capital attraction.

18.  HURRICANE CENTER (25) by STROM CAT in his 8th crop is yet to get a winner.
One of the most disappointing sire to have come to the country.

19.  HURRICANE STATE by MISWAKI in his 9th crop has one winner.

@ yakeen.

$  malpensa.

This sire’s produce takes time coming to hand but once fit they are real good sprinters. He stands at a farm which has plethora of staying bloodlines in the mares and has a chance of getting  some fine types.

20.  HYMN (17) by FAIRY KING in his 8th crop has 3 winners.

@ fairy boy, cookie & fairy emperor.

$ RAJASTHAN ROYALS & RANTHAMBORE.

21.  IKHTYAR (39) by UNFUWAIN in his 5th crop has 6 winners.

@ twinkling of an eye, words, on spot , jersey shore, remember me & alastor.

$ BESPOKE, Berlusconi & candid fury.

*BRUCKNER.

22. INHABITANT (17) by ZAFONIC in his 4th crop has 2 winners.

@ brahamastra (3) & comprehensive.

23.  ITAQUERE POWER( 30) by MINSTREL GLORY in his 5th crop has one winner
@ master quest.

24.  IVORY TOUCH (31) by STORM CAT in his 2nd crop 3 winners.

@ broken arrow, black bolt & in the twilight.

25.  JUNIPER(14) by DANZIG in his 7th crop has 4 winners.

@ caruso, master nadel(2),mother ewa & miss bold.

$ atlantus

*IKARIA & RARE AND PRECIOUS.


26.  LUCIFER SAM (25) by STORM CAT in the first crop has 3 winners.

@ lucy diamond, ancillary & Jamaican.

The 4 x 4 cross of NATALMA, the dam of Northern Dancer is interesting. The winner of a grade 3 race over 1400 m should produce encouraging types as he stands at a farm with good dams.

27.  MAMBO MINSTREL (13) by KINGMAMBO in his 3rd crop has one winner.

@ firefly.

28.  MATHEMATICIAN (22) by MACHIAVELLIAN in his 2nd crop has 5 winners.

@ gallop to glory(2), hail the king, Copernicus, raptor & czar of romance(2).

$ maths baby.

The S Pathy owned farm has been plagued with bad luck what with two very promising sires passing away after showing a lots of hope. MIDTOWN had created so much excitement with his only crop and MATHEMATICIAN looked to upgrade the stock before lightening sniffed him out.

29.  MR MELLON (32) by RED RANSOM in his 7th crop has 2 winners.

@shygirl & invincible.

*ADAMANT APPROACH, BLOODY MARY, FANTASTIC QUEST,REGAL CONNECTION& SUCCEEDING STAR.

30.   MULL OF KINTYRE(65) by DANZIG in his 7th crop has 13 winners.

@ miss serena(2), miss venus, miss champion, fearless moments(3), galiat, rainbow sky(2), paras mani, equalizer, cynsure, master federar(2),conquest, becoming girl & lagoon.

$MAPLE STAR.

A mature sire who had a fair amount of good winners incl Grade 1 winner in Europe and has shown some good stock here. He is bound to get his share of good ones as he is versatile in his produce and has covered some of the best mares at the upcoming  stud at Sohna. His forte is sprints but the produce looks to handle added distance well.

31.  MULTIDIMENSIONAL (50) by DANEHILL in his first crop has 10 winners.

@ STRIKING(3), STARRY EYES, amelia, alaindair, sherman oaks, vocation,exclusive colours, roses in bloom, multimagic(2) adella(2) & adabella(2).

The freshman sire at the premium north Indian breeding establishment looks very promising. He gets the best of the mares from the top broodmare sire Razeen and his produce should be watched over mile and more trips. The produce lacks somewhat on precociousness but one has to wait and see with future crops.

32.  NEW FAMOUS (16) by JULES in his 2nd crop has 3 winners.

@ fire angel, smooth as silk & zip away.

33.  NOVERRE(78) by RAHY in his 7th crop has 5 winners.

@ protector of paris, want to love, mister india(5), rock with u, shaktiroop(2) & gentle knowledge(2).

$ COMMANDER & HACHIKO.

The late sire was much heralded by the connections after a few good successes of his wards abroad. He  definitely did well with his first crop before his untimely passing away. The present large crop is bound to give some fine ones as he has crossed with promising stock. The produce takes time to come to hand but  get to improve with outings.

34.  OATH(43) by FAIRY KING in his 9th crop has 2 winners.

@ staminoizd & looking for love.

$ SNOW BIRD & bling

35.  OPPURTUNIST (16) by MACHIAVELLIAN in his first crop is yet to score.

36. PHOENIX TOWER (31) by CHESTER HOUSE in his first crop has 6 winners.

@DECATHALON(3), dancing phoenix(2), trance, duma(2), yellow zone& magical spell.

The grand son of MR PROSPECTOR is undoubtedly the best freshman sire we have. They are precocious and fighting sprinters, one will have to wait and see if they can handle the classic distances, I have my doubts.

37. PLACERVILLE (33) in his 16th crop has 5 winners.

@ PALM SPRINGS(2), andreas,panther,rekindle & brindaban.

$ ASTAPI,CARDINAL,FIELD MARSHAL.FOREST FLAIR,NATIVE KNIGHT ,black magic woman, dancing glances,golden rule & san ramon.

*The top sire has been the champion sire 10 times, has been the most dominant sire in western India for a decade . He has sired 76 Black Type winners including champions like SOUTHERN EMPIRE, HAUNTING MEMEORIES, SMART CHIEFTAIN, SIX SPEED, PRICELESS, PALAZZIO etc.

38.  PRINCELY HEIR (26) by FAIRY KING has on winner.

@ princely light.

39.  RAZEEN (22) by NORTHERN DANCER Champion sire 10 times in his 18th crop 4 winners.

@ FALCON(2), Janis jay,war horse & highraj.

$ HILLS AND STARS, WASHINGTON IRVINE,angel child,lad lady, rajnandan, razmaden & volterra.

*Notable  Champions -SET ALIGHT,SOUTHERN REGENT, FOREST FANTASY, INDICTMENT, STAR SUPREME, FOND FANTASY, PSYCHIC FLAME, SIMPLY SUPREME, SANTORINI STAR etc.

He gave us 68 black type winners. The best influencing sire has turned out to be the top brood mare sire of the country and his lineage is bound to be talked about for years to come.

40.  REBUTTAL (66) by MR GREELEY in his 3rd crop has 10 winners.

@ MIRACLE MEMORIES (2) ,santa monica,bright lady,ace bucephalus(2), albertino(2),shimmering ice, hometown hero, chocolate soldier, strength and wonder & perfect soul.

$ ASHOK CHAKRA, DANDIFIED, PEDALO, SUPER STORM, TOROLOCO, king of lords, lovely kiss, manyatta, nadia, own asset & shivalik hero.

* LOVELY KISS &TIBERIUS.

This is the sire who has turned the fortunes of the earlier non descript breeding farm in North India. The grand son of MR PROSPECTOR is today the honest contender for the top spot since his produce has what it takes in racing, precociousness, sprinting ability and staying capability. Since the farm ahs added some fine import he is the one who should keep their flag flying.

41.  ROYAL GLADIATOR(24) by HONOUR AND GLORY in his 7th crop has two winners.

@ solitaire royale(2) & Bengal king.

$  secret punch & two in one.

* LYCIA FALCON.

42.  SEDGEFIELD (44) by SMART STRIKE in his first crop has 8 winners.

@ silsila, symbol of victory, turf striker, lantana lady, field smasher, greek star, master virat & super select.

A modestly performed sire has shown some fine indicators through his produce . The good thing is most of runners have shown fighting spirit and have done well with little preparation. The first crop stands with trainers who are not known for getting their wards to try early and that is a bit of negative, the next few crops should be more diversified.

43. SENURE (17) by NURYEV in his 7th crop has one winner

@ nabisco.

$ oasis vision

*OASIS STAR,GOBELIN,RIYASAT,WEIZHOU& THE HURRICANE.

He was champion freshman sire in 2001-02. He has been utilized by the top stables around Pune and has been very consistent in producing black types. He has given some top class sprinters and fewer offspring’s with stamina abilities. A glaring omission in his produce is that they have fallen short at the classic level.

4. MAJOR IMPACT(4) in his 16th crop has one  winner.

@ amazon princess.

$.PRONTO PRONTO, sun salutation & swift memories.

* DIABOLICAL, BRATZ, THUNDERING POWER, LA HINCH , and NITROUS.

7. SERIOUS SPENDER (4) by SEATTLE SLEW in his 12 th crop is yet to score.

* BROWN SUGAR,BRYCE CANYON,TOUCH OF SILVER,SKY RAIDER & EL CAMPADOR.

LAST DAY OF SEASON===DELHI RACES.

1.        ANOTHER EAGLE who has been running forward races may run for money again in current form. Looks very tough for MASTER BOLT to win since he could not win in class 5 in last run, but may get strongly involved if the owner’s other one is hooked.  MASTER TIGER who ran a good 3rd in million race has a good handicap chance and is likely to be the “master” who is going to be tried here. ANJIR has to improve by a notch to get into place money.UNO UNO UNO has struggled in class 5 and may not be able to do well here despite the try jockey.

MASTER TIGER-ANOTHER EAGLE-MASTER BOLT.

2.       BAYONET showed an amazing improvement when running in a class race and can easily repeat in current form. BRAHAMASTRA has run well in last encounter against a much superior MISS SERENA, has to do a lot to catch the first named. FAST AND FURIOUS may struggle in this speedy younger set up. DIMPLE is bred for staying but id doing very well in sprints.

BAYONET-BRAHAMASTRA-DIMPLE.

3.       MASTER SENSATION who is working well has not raced for some time, may do well. SEVEN EIGHT SIX has done well for this owner and should be tried in the current upwards form. FOREST RANGER was a good 3rd and has scope here. MISS CASTLE has raced against better types, can be in the fray in this field.

MISS CASTLE-FOREST RANGER-SEVEN EIGHT SIX.

4.       CRUSOE is a youngster who may be fancied for the last forward run. FEARLESS NEGOTIATOR has come down by heaps, may do well. FIRST N IMPRESSION may show some keen motion, can surprise. Ignore last run of SECRET POWER, has been very consistent. Or it may be ENGLISH ELMS from the same owner who is tried.

ENGLISH ELMS-CRUSOE-FIRST N IMPRESSION.

5.       MISS SMASHING is down in class and should run well. WANT TO LOVE is a well bred who won despite being soft in looks, has scope to repeat. AMITY and TRUSTED MAN can place, have a handicap chance. FLASH FORWARD has not raced for long, looks fit but can not be seriously considered in present environment even at low weights.

WANT TO LOVE-MISS SMASHING-TRUSTED MAN.

6.       ROYAL CREST has done very well through out the season and can be considered to deliver once again. MISS SERENA runs very soon after last two wins, looks tough to win now. ALABASTER has a rookie, the horse has been given some soft runs and looks to upset. MASTER FADERER is a good type who has a chance to repeat.

ALABASTER-MASTER FADERER-ROYAL CREST.

7.       ASHWA PARINDA is on demotion and has a chance to place.. MISS BOLD is a failed favorite who can rebound. DANCING BABE was good 2nd and should be considered. CAUGHT THE EYE has a stiff penalty to beat. DESERT EAGLE is a most unreliable horse according to the previous trainer, ignore. THE DUKES appeals at low weights.

MISS BOLD-ASHWA PARINDA-THE DUKES.

DAYS BEST===BAYONET

ARCHIE FOR MILLION RACE OF CONCLUDING DAY

Sunday, April 28, 2013



MUMBAI FINAL DAY

1.        STARS ON BOARD may place with the weak rookie, has sometimes run well in front. CAESARINA has a useless rider who can not push the horse. ALLEGIANCE has the advantage of a capable rider and can win if intended by the trainer. TRUMP CARD has some chance on basic handicap but gets a weak rider. VICTORIOUS CAUSE at low weight gets a rider who is doing well and may be backed here.

ALLEGIANCE-STARSONBOARD-VICTORIOUS CAUSE.

2.        DREAMLINER  was prepared well and then given an easy run, has a good chance in this weak field. STYLISH STROKES who won in this class earlier has a rider who is utilizing his allowance reasonably well. AL ZAMMARUD is a winner of two races who may surprise. TOP TRICK from a low performing stable gets a try rider.

DREAMLINER-STYLISH STROKES-TOP TRICK.

3.       BLUE CASPER has a jockey switch, may do well. HOT AS ICE from a very mediocre stable has a chance to do well, last run was encouraging. SONG OF PRAISE is a badly failed favorite. AMORA is bound to run a forward race again. MONEY STRIKE has been given some fake runs, is due to strike.

MONEY STRIKE-HOT AS ICE-AMORA.

4.        CASINO JACK is down in class and working well, added distance will suit. STRIKE AGAIN is tracking well. STAR BUILDER has been given so many runs that it is difficult to assess the level, last run should have brought him on. JEN’S SECRET is at low weights with a keen rider.

STAR BUILDER-JEN’S SECRET-CASINO JACK.

5.        AWESOME SMILE is bound to be involved after the improved run last time. PURPLE MOKARA has gone up in scales by placing continuously under a rookie who could not force a win on a number of occasions. SAIFEENA has come down and can do well at good odds. MATRIOSHKA was a half hearted favorite from sly connections, has a decent chance at this handicap.

MATRIOSHKA-PURPLE MOKARA-AWESOME SMILE.

6.        ARCHIMEDES is well bred and has tracked fine, stable may not be interested today with the aging rider. PROTECTOR OF PARIS is half brother to BULLS EYE and has been given an initiating run, looks far improved now. RAJASTHAN GLORY has tracked fine. ARAVALI from the owner of “Laurus” named horses should be strongly fancying the chances as she had run well and looks forward in works.

PROTECTOR OF PARIS-ARAVALI-RAJASTHAN GLORY.

7.        ALAINDAIR was too good for others in last win, the breeding commands respect and this hors e has potential. ARCHI won the maiden race far easily than the written result, the horse has been very well prepared to be the top contender here. MINT APPROACH left a very fine impression in maiden win when she had lots of traffic problems and still got the wire, looks improved in works. The capricious owner will fancy his chances on REKINDLE since she had beaten FALCON who went on to do very well later, horse may suffer from lack of run in recent months.

ARCHIE-MINT APPROACH-ALAINDAIR.

8.        GITANO  has done well in some outings, has a try rider. MUFASA has been seen in works daily and should run a good race even under the stable second string rider. RIO ran a somewhat indifferent race when favored, may reverse now as he is well bred. The mediocre bred STAR OF BABYLON is working well. COSMIC DANCER is half brother to PREORDAINED and the runs behind the recently deceased BARONESS are suggestive. SHYGIRL is showing lots of speed in tracks. ZAAGROS can finish on well if given a proper ride.

COSMIC DANCER-RIO-ZAAGROS.

9.        JIMBO appears to be a suspect one, has gate problems, tracks are fast. EMERALD VALLEY has a slight handicap chance, was kept back last time. AUGUSTUS is tracking well.

MUMBAI RACES

1.       A race with many hopefuls as the season ends. ALWAYS SMILE had been backed down very well but flopped in earlier race, has a rookie. MIRACLE OF MERCY has a try rider, does not appeal over a sprint. NEPTINE is down in class, was led in by a rookie in last run. TWITILLATOR has tough handicap but the best rider for perhaps the worst so called trainer. PRINCE ARIUS is down the scales in a noticeable way and had run a forward race last time. DARE DEVIL has some form, finished on late in last run. LAURUS TIKATI has the rider repeating to force for win the maiden race for the aptly named horse.

PRINCE ARIUS-LAURUS TIKATI-NEPTUNE.

2.       CORNELIAN who is tracking regularly can be fancied over this trip. PERFECT STRENGTH has been performing below par so far, distance suits. EQUINOX ran fair enough last time, the problematic horse has a top rider. IMPRESSIVE TOUCH had run a good 2nd to BONOBO over this trip earlier.

CORNELIAN-EQUINOX.

3.       IL MORAN is in good form, had won impressively earlier. POLYNESIA ran away to register a comfortable win at good odds, horse is on the up. QUANDO QUANDO is doing well for the small time trainer, last run was forward. SNOW FLAKE has handicap in good favor, should be fancied here.

SNOW FLAKE-POLYNESIAN-IL MORAN.

4.      ZARACHA remains in contention based on try runs. CALYPSO QUEEN was kept easy last time, may warm up with the try rider. THREE ROSES ran on suggestively last time, trainer’s intent is the unknown factor. MOON SHADOW has tracked well and gets a top rider looking for win. MOUNTAIN WARRIOR was taken out very badly by the winner last time, the race was made up to ensure the visiting jockey won, this horse gets a top rider now. ZOE has been finishing on late, gets a good rider at low weights.

MOUNTAIN WARRIOR-THREE ROSES-ZOE.

5.       FORTUNE HUNTER has been consistent and is due for a win, last run was suggestive. In our country the horses who are backed at cramped odds develop a tendency to run indifferently, COLOSSUS was backed as a good thing but veered out to loose narrowly, needs to be followed. HIDDEN PLEASURE  goes with an ordinary rider. SAVAGE GARDEN should run an interesting forward race.
COLOSSUS-FORTUNE HUNTER.

6.      RAJSAMMAN is a failed favorite, tracks are very pleasing. WAR HORSE is by the top sire and has been working regularly and looks far improved, had run a very poor race in earlier part of the season with the previous tainted trainer. SANSANI is half sister to speedy LITTLE LION and she is tracking well. WASABI is half sister to speedy ZOOM ZOOM and has pleased in mornings.

WAR HORSE-RAJSAMMAN-WASABI.

7.      STEP UP who led in last time showed improvement in form. RELIC HUNTER has not raced for long but is looking good in tracks. OCTOPAUL is a failed favorite who may run well. BARRINGO is tracking fine. DEFINING MOMENT is most impressive in tracks and can upset.

DEFINING MOMENT-STEP UP-RELIC HUNTER.

8.      AFRO JACK who led in was easily collared, can place though. TWILIGHT has a fair chance in this fighting group. PORT BLAIR has leg problem, has been well penalized for last win in weak group. GRAND MARCH impressed in gates. FESTIVAL NIGHT maintains form. TITLIEST can tittle the field at these weights.

TWILIGHT-AFROJACK-TITLIEST.

9.       GATES OF HEAVEN was kept on leash to finish well, gets a top rider to win even at this weight. ICE SKATER and DREAMS R MINE won at longer odds and both go with a hope to repeat. STAR ZONE who is working well may place.
GATES OF HEAVEN-DREAMS R MINE-STAR ZONE.
