PUNE 11 OCT 08

Todays Small card of 7 events has more then a open look as every single race is very compititive.

Race 1:to start the Day with a VB race is always a bad sign. In my opinion every single horse has a fair winning chance however how many of the 8 horses are on Job is another question my first choice is Princess Samerah even with I shiekh stands a very very good chance to win from the very well prepared Acceptance . In all honesty in this race there is nothing like a safe bet hence the race is best avoided.Firecracker is the youngster in the pack and if the jockey can handle him he will upset and is worth a small eachway punt as N Lagad is the only trainer that tries all his horses.

Tips:Princess Samerah /Acceptance Upset:Firecracker (small eachway Punt)

Race 2: Being a Vb race There are 5 3yos whos true potentials are still un known in my opinion 2 of the in my opinion 1-4-5-9 are all un tapped potential and should finish ahead of the rest. I am going for a outsider Winning Treat who looks to have come to hand nicely will be suited by the 7flg and can win here or at worst place at long odds from Arks Angel who belongs to an unpridictable owner. Horses 5-9 can also sspring a surprise.

Tips:Winning Treat (small eachway)/Arks Angel

Race 3: Stellar Affair will be the horse to beat today if the jockey can handle the pressure the only danger is Zarzaitine who has now come to hand and is a danger to one and all and will be the one to look out for . Snow Blind in my opinion is a false favorite who won last time when no one else seemed to be interested to is a different kettel of fish and will find it difficult to sustain here hence avoidable

Tips:Stellar Affair (eachway )/Zarzaitine, Avoid:Snow Blind

Race 4: Black Sapphire should win in this weak set if the intentions are right. Red Mesa should place

Tips:Black Sapphire (days best)

Race 5: Toughest race of the day where any horse can win luck will play a major roll here My first choice is Red Indian who has everything in his favor if the intentions are right to win from Star O'war who has been hiding true form fo a long time today drawn 3 can runaway from this set and is worth a eachway punt.Pillatus won well last time however is running in a span of 7 days plus is a horse that never runs two consistant races hence avoidable. The upst horse here is Born To Lead that cant be ignored today the connections have opted to run her in a higher as she is not a wieht carrier dont ignore and a small punt can go a long way.

Tips:Red Indian /Star O'war (eachway) Upset:Born To Lead (dont ignore small eachway)

Race 6: Babeinthewoods on jockeys judgement looks to be the one to beat from Onus Probandi who looks well perpared.I have ignored Sierra Vista due to the jockey if she wins good luck. I am personally going to take a small chance on Tapis as a eachway bet.

Tips:Babeinthewoods/Onus Probandi, Upset:Tapis (small eachway)

Race 7: Liberty Speaks is up in distance and up in wieght hence avoidable however the horse wont have a problem staying the distance,Lil Miss Sunshine won well last time but beat Jhonny Bravo, I still have my doubts on her staying the trip hence avoidable and is the false favorite. My first pick here is Equality who does belong to gambeling owner but is very well place on handicap to win watch the betting on him and decide.Mountain King, last win was very impressive and can repeat.Cavaradosi also comes into contention due to malesh's judgement. Over all a very tricky race hence I am going to eat L Miss sunshine and let the best horse win. I will be having a small eachway punt on Hishamwho can upset on basis of handicap dont ignore.

Tips:Equality(watch the market)/Mountain King/Cavaradosi Upset:Hisham(small eachway)

Good luck all

DAYS BEST: BLACK SAPPHIRE

EACHWAY BETS:Stellar Affair /Star O'war /Equality

SMALL EACHWAY BETS: Firecracker /Winning Treat /Born To Lead /Tapis/Hisham
