Pune 15th Aug

Good luck all जय हिंद.


Race 1: Firstly in my opinion 1. BLUE JAY is a far superior horse then 3. VANTAGE who has not been on track since Mumbai season there is a possibility that he is being prepared on the Dhunjiboy property whoever I don't agree on him being the favorite here. If you look at this race very closely if Lagad would not have entered 4 horses in this race it would have been have been voided hence the winner should come from the Lagad camp of hi 4 runners ALOHAMORA is the best however it is difficult to say which one will be tried hence leave this race I will.
Tips: ALOHAMORA / 1. BLUE JAY

Race 2: Another dirty race where one donkey is competing with another and most horses in this set never perform unless they are backed.3. NARA who has opened favorite has a very strange change of equipment (CNB) which is normally used on horses that are keen early and to settle them off the pace but this horse does not have any initial speed anyway so why that change I cant understand guess I will at 2.35 after the race is done. Once again not a race for punters but the horse to beat is 6. CHOPASNI from 7. JUST BLESSINGS both running in the right set today.1. DYNAMITE belongs to a gambling connection pay attention to the flow of money on this horse.

Tips:6. CHOPASNI /7. Just Blessings Upset:1. DYNAMITE

Race 3:This race is a very complex one the flow of money will indicate the trend In my opinion 1. THUNDERING STAR who does have merit belongs to gambling owners and needs a lot of galloping room to win today's draw will not help and at best can place which leave only 4 horses i.e. 3-4-6-7. 6. GIOCOMETTI has the class but flow of money will decide on intent if backed in the ring will place by default.7. DANCE MAESTRO looks very well prepared and if the above 2 are not in the money should win from 4. BEAU MONDE who looks fit enough to give the form a run for the money I will be having a small eachway bet on him and hope he wont burst his blood vessel.

Tips:7. DANCE MAESTRO /4. BEAU MONDE (EWay) Upset:3 JULPHA

Race 4:4 SPITZ who looks all the rage in the race has to beat 8 VICTORY STAR definately hedge your bets here as this is a very smart horse. 1 FOCUS can place at long odds.

Tips:8 VICTORY STAR 4 SPITZ Upset: 1 FOCUS (place)

Race 5: This is one of the worst quality of horses I have seen running in the INDEPENDENCE TROPHY in many many years.The Dhunjibhoys have always tried to lift this and will do the same today however I dont believe its going to be easy for the favorite as 3. VALE OF LEVEN is definately a better horse at this distance.On paper 2. CHEVRON should leave this set standing however on principle I cant tip a horse that is running after a year if he wins it will be a great achievement for I Sait.I am going for horses that can definately upset this set and my first pick is4. TRUE ELEGANCE who i believe is running the right distance and will be the one to beat and is worth aeach way punt from 7. URUJ who is blazing the track and can give the astute SS Shah a quick double.

Tips: 4. TRUE ELEGANCE /7. URUJ Upset: 6. MASTER PLANNER

Race 6: 2. HIGHLAND CONQUEST should win this one from 4. MONOPOLY

Race 7: Its will pay to stay away from this race as Horses 1-3-4 are interlinked and if one is tried the others will run dry.on paper the results should be 4-1-3 but it is very hard to predict the outcome if you dont really know who will be tried however whatever be the outcome 8. INDIAN SUMMER is the horse they all have to beat make note.

Tips:8. INDIAN SUMMER /4. OH SO ROMANTIC /1. WAHY

Race 8: the speedy 3 VIJAYI BHAVA has all the right things in her favor today but in her last run she led till the last 200 mts because no one was interested in doing the job she clocked 1-2.2 which is very average hence I am not convinced that she is out standing on the other hand there do seem to be a lot of horses that will be tried. The winner will come from 1-2-3-6-8 however my top 3 are XIAMEN / PARIS HILTON . However in such uncertain situation I do have the tendency to look beyond the obvious and one horse that stands out is SEA GULL who runs well fresh and loves this course is definately worth a eachway punt Make note

Tisp: XIAMEN / VIJAYI BHAVA / PARIS HILTON Upset: SEA GULL

Days Best: 2. HIGHLAND CONQUEST
Treble:2. HIGHLAND CONQUEST / ALOHAMORA / DANCE MAESTRO
Horse worth an eachway punt:
DYNAMITE /BEAU MONDE / VICTORY STAR / TRUE ELEGANCE / INDIAN SUMMER / SEA GULL

Upset of the day: RISING PRINCESS
