Pointers for Pune 11 Aug 07

Very interesting and competitive card today still many horses running after a long layoff so please let the season settle down and it will pay to halve your bets.

Race 1: On paper 3. CORNELIA SUPRA looks a good bet to win from 1. BIONIC ANGEL , 4. GAME OF POWER belongs to a gambeling stable hence the market will be a indicator if he is on job or not however i dont think he will beat C Supra.6. PREMIER IMAGE is best on track but is an unsound horse if he holds up he will be right there but from a punting point of view is very difficult to say. Make a note of 2. GOLDEN KEY i know the distance will be sharp but this horse has won once and placed 6 times in a sprint. When horses are fresh and its there first run they alway sprint well in this field of 6 where there are 2 no hopers leaves only 3 horses for him to beat which puts him right in the pitcure if he is fit and the owners want to make a high priced gamble on him Today is the DAY. his equipment is Steel plate but SS Shah is a shrewd trainer and I believe he will try this horse today. hence my tip is 3. CORNELIA SUPRA for 2. GOLDEN KEY on who i will be having a small eachway bet.

Race 2: In my opinion the race will be between 2-4 and 6.2. DESERT DUST has a benefit of a good run will be in striking position however drawn 2 today he will have to be brushed to the front today and could be his downfall as with a no whip jockey acceleration the final stages of the race is required and without a whip it can be hard.4. BRIGHT SIDE is blazing the track and also loves the pune track however he is running after 7 months which leads to believe that he had some problems and if he has got over the problems he will win.Lastly 6. ALAMSHAARA who cant be overlooked here he is definately the horse to look out for as he relishes the fast pace which will be set and if handeled properly can cause a upset
my picks 6. ALAMSHAARA 4. BRIGHT SIDE ,2. DESERT DUST but it will be a close call.

Race 3: this a very open race and at best is to watch as an outsider cant be ruled out here.
2. PAMPERED PRINCESS will relish these conditions and hence is my first pick from 4. OYSTER PEARL

race 4: Very hard to pick form here hence it would be wise to follow market trend horses 1,3,4 and 5 the top contenders 1. QUO IBOE seems to have come to hand and if he is sound should win it easily here from 4. HERE COMES THE DON bad race 5. MEDTIAS PRIDE is best on track.

Race 5: this race is also a tricky one 7. OASIS STAR who was an expensive failure last time needs blinkers if not then hard to back 4. REGAL REFORM is a nice horse who is running after a while but is fit as per track moments and odds in the ring will detirmine his faith if he is on job he should do well in this set. Hovever make a note of 10. SPIRITUAL FLAME has run in far superios company, changed camps and is the best on track 1200 will not be a problem for him and hence is the one to watch and looks a certain place.
My Choice is O Star only if he has blinkers today from S Flame

Race 6: Tricky 5. THE HURRICANE is a nice horse but I believe its his first run after being gelded and he his pitted against some decent runners which is a problem today 4. STRATHENDRICK will bother his pace he could be in trouble if he win good luck.1. ROCKEFELLER who has come to hand and ran a good race first up belongs to a gambeling stable and if there is money on him he will Win.Make a note of 2. SNOW BLOSSOM the extra distance and change in Jockey will suit him and he will be right there and hs a good outside chance.
See I am not saying the The Hurricane cant win but he definately dosenot tower over this opposion hence my picks are 1. ROCKEFELLER from 2. SNOW BLOSSOM

Race 7: Bad race 8. TRY YOUR LUCK and 3. INCROYABLE will run a good race and should be considered for Jackpot.

Aother Day where racing will go either way.
Horses that are worth an eachway punt are, Golden Key, Alamshara, P Princess,S Flame and Snow blossom.
Good Luck and go slow.
