MARIINSKY FOR 1000 GUINEAS

Saturday, November 30, 2013


BANGALORE RACES.

1. FORMULA ONE may run well, has been given an easy run. VISTABELLA has been tracked, may be considered for the fact bthat he failed twice as favourite. KING OF HEROES ran a good race and gets a good rider now. BLIZZARD OF OZZ at bottom weight should be fancied, was a front runner who went wide after the bend as a favourite.

BLIZZARD OF OZZ-KING OF HEROES-VISTABELLA.

2. The nicely bred BARACCHUS has been well prepared. NESTO has speedy parents and should run a forward race. ATMOS is from the precocious sire and has been tracked well. SMART CONNECTIONS is notable in morning works.

ATMOS-NESTO-BARACCHUS.

3.RAKSHITA goes over ideal trip with a forceful rider, should win if backed in the ring. THUNDER has a useful handicap but jockey is non performer. NATION’S GLORY had gone wide when fancied last time, has been trained since. EMPHATIC VICTORY is down in scales.

RAKSHITA-NATION’S GLORY-EMPHATIC VICTORY.

4.SILHOUTTE has been working fine and has a rider switch. TRADITION has good early speed, has been given a run. OPTIMUS ZONE impressed with a forward run under a work jockey. ZIZZI needs a run, lacks preparation, may surprise. SUPER SILVER was pulled in last run, has a handicap chance.

SUPER SILVER-OPTIMUS ZONE-SILHOUTTE.

5. SEE BRIGHT was kept back and alerted a bit late in last run, has a better rider to be forceful now. CHIRON has tracked for long, may be difficult in this lot to be in money. ZERMATT won all the way and in current form will make them all run. GREY CONNECTION had run in shaping like a winner till nabbed, gets another chance. COCTAIL CIRCUIT at low weight with a good jockey should fight out.

SEE BRIGHT-ZERMATT-COCKTAIL CIRCUIT.

6.Ordinarily 3 year olds are favoured to win as they step up into class races against 4 year olds etc but in this race I suspect the pair of 3 year olds may not be that sure a bet. SUPREME REGIME had won twice in summers b ut has been a failure since then and may have tracked well alongside MUIROI but lacks an authentic forward run. MADAME BOVARY has been unnecessarily penalised heavily for 4th position in Mysore 1000Guineas. The pair has a serious threat from DIAMONITE who has been given a run and is working very well. INQUISITION at top weight may make it interesting by running a forward race, has won at this level before.

DIAMONITE-SUPREME REGIME-INQUISITION.

7.The feature race should be won by MARIINSKY who has good credentials and is in fine fettle. The only blemish is that she finished behind BEAUTY IS TRUTH in summers but the later has not been the same since and is yet to win her maidens race. The challenge should emerge from ISN’T SHE SPECIAL who is nicely bred and is in fine nick. The good one from Mysore, KETURAH has come up a lot and may be fancied to fight out along with the much improved ALCAZABA who was a very imposing winner in last run.

MARIINSKY- ALCAZABA-ISNT SHE SPECIAL.

8. GLYCYS BAY is the failed favourite who could not catch up with the runaway winner. SUPREME has come down a lot but has a new owner and an average rider. PRINCE OF DARKNESS was given an ordinary ride by a work jockey, has scope here. ROYAL ADMIRAL has no works and no run for some time, gets a top rider.

PRINCE OF DARKNESS-GLYCYS BAY- ROYAL ADMIRAL.

9. THE SITUATION may run a forward race, has won at this level before. NATURAL VIEW is the youngster who is winner once and has been given an easy run. RAAGA is a non winner 5 year old who has a good rider repeating, may upset. TRANSFORMER impressed in gates. DANCE WITH ME has been given quick runs, may place.

NATURAL VIEW-RAAGA-TRANSFORMER.


DAYS BEST----MARIINSKY

DOUBLE--BLIZZARD OF OZZ X PRINCE OF DARKNESS

SILVER ARROW FOR MYSTICAL TROPHY

Thursday, November 28, 2013


MUMBAI RACES.

1. Only TARA and ARZAAN have won before, both not in the last two years, the later winning exactly 2 years ago at 59 Kgs over 2000 m.ICE BEAUTY has placed twice over a mile. There is a lack of indicators and since the younger horses are backwards ARZAAN may win on better riding at low weights from her younger sister HEAVEN’S KEY who has been worked.

ARZAAN-HEAVEN’S KEY

2. Though he has not been pitted against classic types SILVER ARROW is an exciting prospect who is in pink condition and should step up to beat this lot, last win was awesome. INVICTUS who had come from way behind to finish on the tail of CLINTON in last run has been tracking smoothly for the last month or so, he should be fighting out along with the hype horse MANYATTA for placing.

SILVER ARROW-INVICTUS.

3. WENTWORTH has gone through the whole last season by only tracking, had earlier lost close home as a favorite, the well bred has been given a mock at Pune also, should run well. CURIOSITY had got the judges nod in a fighting finish, had bled during the win, fitness is doubtful since hardly been tracked. ARTA is a good breed who is pleasing in tracks and was beaten by a much superior winner last time. GIANT LUCK is tracking fluently and will like the trip. FABULOUS FLORENCE has not been publicly worked after the last improved effort.

WENTWORTH- ARTA- CURIOSITY.

4. RIO is the only youngster and the rookie rider will be keen to achieve a hat trick of wins on this nicely bred horse who is tracking like a winner. But to my mind he has to deal with the speedy DREAMLINER at low weight, remember he had beaten PANTHETRA well and before that run PANTHERA had accounted for RIO.VICTORIOUS MARCH is the other one who may threaten but lacks saddle support.

DREAMLINER-RIO.

5. Looks tough for AMISTAD at win over this distance at this weight, did not show any sharpness in last run. GHAZAL KING from a staying combination is looking for hat trick, has worked fine. NEGOTIATOR won in style and should look to repeat again.

NEGPOTIATOR-GHAZAL KING.

6. A race competed by hopeless lot of horses, can go the bookies way. AMAYA was a front runner over a staying trip, has an allowance rider now. VIVA ZAPATA has won at this level before, may be tried. MZURI has been given gates and tracks, is yet to get on board. MIDNIGHT LADY has sometimes been backed, has low weight and a reasonable jockey, can speed away.

MIDNIGHT LADY-AMAYA-MZURI.

7. EDWINA is a talented sprinter but has a most average rider at top weight and has been kept under wraps for long. CELCIUS should run a forward race, may place. SONG OF SPARROW has come down with runs, looks tempting at this handicap. WINDMILL LADY had finished strongly in last run, should fight out.

SONG OF SPARROW-WINDMILL LADY-EDWINA.

DAYS BEST = SILVER ARROW

DOUBLE-----WENTWORTH X NEGOTIATOR

BRIGADIER FOR THE COMMITTEE TROPHY

MYSORE RACES.

1. Based on the run in Race 1 & the fact that 7 runners are from the same connections, THE BACK BENCHER was a forward runner who went on his own and now gets a much better rider, hence should be the one to beat. ALBATROSS is showing speed in works and will run a good forward race. RISING RANI has been on tracks for long but may need a run as she is not bred for speed. ULTIMATE PRINCESS is the doosra who may be surprising at better odds.

THE BACK BENCHER-RISING RANI-ALBATROSS.

2. CHANTILY JEWEL ran a close race and should be trying under the allowance rider, has won at these weights before. THE SENATOR has been given an easy run. GAMBIT has not been worked much since the flop run as a favourite. QUEEN’S CRUISE who led in well still looks for her maiden win. SNOW PEAKS is a winner of 2 races who is down in scales, has not been tried for long.

CHANTILY JEWEL-SNOW PEAKS-THE SENATOR.

3. BANDITO had beaten CARISMA in a fighting finish earlier, has been prepared. CARISMA has been well tracked after the last run when she bled, may improve. ACE PRINCESS has been given runs against superior types, tracks are fine. COFFEE TIME has low weights, looks speedy in works.

BANDITO-CARISMA-ACE PRINCESS.

4. LA PIPERI has been very regular in tracks, may place. AERIAL ACROBAT should be fighting out with the allowance jockey in this suspect field. HARINI who is working well should beat this lot, she is winner of 3 races and is due for a win. SHINNING FAME should run a forward race at low weights.

HARINI-AERIAL ACROBAT-SHINNING FAME.

5. SAND DUNE is in fine form and was beaten by a good youngster last time. AZURE FIRE is a good type who is in fine nick. ABSOLUTE PLEASURE had won in style and has raced with superior lot, should win now. BRAVE ASSAULT at low weights should run a forward race.

ABSOLUTE PLEASURE-AZURE FIRE-SAND DUNE.

6. INFATUATION can place again, has come back to form. BRIGADIER is catching the eye with speedy tracks. FLIRTING KING is showing out in mornings and will build on last effort. BORN ELECTRIC is tracking quite well.

BRIGADIER-INFATUATION-FLIRTING KING.

7. CRRISP is likely to run well again in current good form. DEMANDING FORMAT who won under drugs looks in fit condition and has a very good handicap based on earlier runs, can win on genuine try. ASHKAN is working well. DANCE OF A GENERAL has a positive rider switch, may run on board as tracks are speedy.

DEMANDING FORMAT-CRRISP-ASHKAN.

8. HISTORICA was too late in finishing on last time, has further penalty to handle . UNCHALLENGED is tracking for long, has a chance to do well. QUEEN’S COLOUR should build up on last run. BRIGADE’S PARADISE is pleasing in morning works. ARC ANGEL has low weight over favourite trip.WORLD IS TOO MUCH has the right jockey to exploit low weights.

WORLD IS TOO MUCH-HISTORICA-QUEEN’S COLOUR.

DAYS BEST==ABSOLUTE PLEASURE

DOUBLE------HARINI X BRIGADIER

AL SAHAIL FOR COMMISSIONER OF POLICE CUP

DELHI RACES.

1. There is nothing much to write about the bloodlines since all these runners are from moderate sires standing around the capital and most of their produce will primarily rce at this centre. None of the freshman sires is exciting and most of the mares have been ordinary in racing. MASTER NOVAK has shown out in tracks and will run a good race.CLIQUOT may be the best bred, showed out well in mocks and has an aged rider. SHES THE BEST has been nicely prepared but mock race can not be taken very seriously. The other one from the same stable has some potential.

MASTER NOVAK-SHES THE BEST-CLIQUOT

2. NIZBATI QUEEN who ran well last time has a negative jockey. LOVE LOVE is speedy and has a rookie for a try. MASTER STAR won well and maintains form. TRACK BLAZER is always a genuine runner, has a chance to be in the firing line. GREEN SEALS may place as he has come down a lot in last two years.

MASTER STAR-LOVE LOVE-GREEN SEALS.

3. YALAMLAM is stepping down in distance and has weights against. PERFECT AFFECT has tough task to repeat. NEIVASHA is a speedy one who should look to repeat. CHEPETZUHA is due for a win soon. JAZBA appeals as an upsetter.

NEIVASHA- CHEPETZUHA-YALAMLAM.

4. COMPREHENSIVE has the fly in rider, the horse has done well this season and has a hefty penalty. DESERT EAGLE has liked the Delhi course and appears a different animal who was moody under Sunderji’s barns, should be fancied for hat trick. TEZ RAFTAR showed improvement in last run. AL SAHAIL is the youngster on promotion at low weights.

AL SAHAIL-DESERT EAGLE-COMPREHENSIVE.

5. COURAGE UNDER FIRE has the rider repeating, horse is due for a win, has come down a lot.The trip will suit REVENGEFUL KNIGHT, the horse is down in scales. BAY OF THUNDER is looking fit, may upset. ROYAL ROSE was a suggestive runner last time. CHARMING WOODS is a horse with problems, may place on handicap.

COURAGE UNDER FIRE-REVENGEFUL KNIGHT-ROYAL ROSE.
6. DAZZLING WAVE has been given runs, has b
een tracking well and should be running for money now. DANCING BABE may surprise, last run was questionable. MAMBO LIGHT is best avoided, has been beaten fair in last two runs. ANOTHER EAGLE is down in scales and has a rookie.

ANOTHER EAGLE-DAZZLING WAVE-MAMBO LIGHT.

CIRCLE OF LIFE FOR SIR MEHTA MILLION

MUMBAI RACES

1. SOMBRERO had given the owner cum trainer a nice gamble in Pune kind courtesy help from the loosing rider, the horse is bred for speed and has been very regular in tracks ever since. STOLEN RELIC has been worked , has earlier run a good 2nd once. ESTABLISH PREDATOR a nonsensical name has good handicap, has been worked fine after half share bought by the trainer, last run was suggestive. MATRIOSHKA has not done well in last few runs, is owned by a long time ago’s scheming owner, may upset.

MATRIOSHKA-SOMBRERO-STOLEN RELIC.

2. WORD OF HONOUR is a hardy stayer and is working like a youngster. KAIZER has no tracks, has won over this distance with this rider before. VENUS MARINA is bred to stay and last run was a reasonable one under a weak rider. FIRST AND ONLY ONE was backed down to win in first run and as predicted flopped, the trainer appears to be wrong in sending her over such a trip.

VENUS MARINA-WORD OF HONOUR

3. .ANALEAH is by a good sire and from a black type mare, had impressed as a good type in maiden win, was beaten by a superior WAY OUT, looks in fine nick. HIGHRAZ had won a mile in first run, has impressive bloodlines and is working fluently, will fight out at low weights. MONTREAL is done in by weights, retains form.

ANALEAH-HIGHRAZ.

4. KEUKENHOF won in style finishing on and is bred to stay, has been working impressively. BOMBARDIER did not stay the trip in Derby, earlier effort was a good one. CELTIC KING ran a good 3rd in Derby, has been given a mock race. DYNAMO is the hype horse who flopped after leading as a favourite both times, has weights and distance in favour.

DYNAMO- CELTIC KING.

5. A handicapper’s puzzle this one as horses are closely matched. DANCING PHOENIX likes to hit the front and keep going, 1000 yards he is difficult to catch, got nabbed by ISHPINGO last time over this trip. DEJA VU, HAWAIIN PRINCESS and EMERGING STAR raced together last time and the first three named come out as prime contenders. MONZA was hanging in and finishing on along the rails, should like the Mumbai straight and is due for a win for long.

MONZA-DEJA VU-DANCING PHOENIX.

6. CIRCLE OF LIFE who finished on from way behind in stable mate JEREMIAH’s Derby win should be the prime fancy here and is working extremely well. MAJESTIC REWARD was a keen runner till ingto the straight in the Derby who should again run a good race over the shorter trip now. Like STARRY EYS ,the PBM MILLION winner MURIOI has been worked for form but appears to lack the sparkle, the horse may like the fast and firm surface here to challenge.

CIRCLE OF LIFE-MURIOI.

7. PLAY FAIR who ran 3rd in a weak collection of juveniles in what was apparently a promotional race for the sire of the eventual laboured winner has been well tracked but may find it tough to shine . RAVELLO impressed with a forward effort last time and looks improved. FIESTY LASS is the got abroad who ran well in gate practice and appears forward. MAISHA from the top stables should run well, nothing fast on tracks .

RAVELLO-FIESTY LASS.

8. BLUE BAY has been given a track by work miser trainer and that alon with the rider is quite an indication. ZOE was a flying 2nd undera work rider and should go all the way now in this weak field. ONE TIME MAGIC has the weak rider repeating who placed at good odds last time. SONG OF AFRICA is a badly flopped favourite from the last run.

ZOE-BLUE BAY-SONG OF AFRICA.
