Tips: TAKE MY WORD Upset: VALIANT BID

Race 3: ATLANTUS and AFFIRMED CROWN look the top 2 contenders in this set both horses have been expensive failures in the past hence proceed with caution.

Its been a very long time since I have seen a decent field in a classic if you pick a winner here it will be great. I persinally believe that horses 1-7-9-10-12-13-14 are the top contenders and I am going for the horse how I believe is oozing a lot of talent hence my first pick is REFLECTION OF GOLD to win from STAR WAVE or ICEBREAKER who will need some luck from the inside draw. GREENS is the one for the note book dont ignore atleast for minor combination can upset or place at long odds.
Tips: REFLECTION OF GOLD /STAR WAVE / ICEBREAKER Upset: GREENS

Race 8: Tough race ATTAIN runs well fresh is also well prepared however is a difficult horse to handle under pressure hence hard to recommend as a favorite but will be the one to beat. If trackwork is a indicator MUCHO is the dark horse that will upset here if asked to.

Race 9: Bad race LUCKY GOLD STAR is my first choice to win from A RUN TO REMEMBER who at worst will place.
Tips: LUCKY GOLD STAR / A RUN TO REMEMBER

Bangalore 22 Nov

Interesting card where most races look to be within fancied runners but all the first favorites have 50% chance to lose. N Darashah has a potential to have a very good day today.

Race 1: VB race to start the day with however prep work suggest SOLITARY CHAMP should pick this up however I believe he needs more distance hence I have gone for CHILLI CHOCOLATE who has a benift of a run in mysore and is tracing well enough should steal the show with the inside barrier.The only dark horse here who can upset these two is LUCKY LOOK who can be a speedy customer today is in reciept of 11kgs and if on job will Upset and can sneak in a place at good odds.

Tips: CHILLI CHOCOLATE /SOLITARY CHAMP Upset: LUCKY LOOK

Race 2: SHOOT A RAINBOW is running after a layoff and conceding wieght is definatly fit as per track movements but id definately not worth a bet under 1 1/2. in saying that only 2 horse look likely toi beat her. My first pick is JERSEY ROCK who is sitting pretty at a decent mark and will account for it and track movements are good too looks certain in place and can win. from ROYAL CHIEF who is a live treath to all today.
Tips: JERSEY ROCK / ROYAL CHIEF

Race 3. SPICY STAR has some form compared to others and should win this one from the inside draw. XEL can upset if asked to.

Tips: SPICY STAR Tips: XEL

Race 4: This a very open race where any of the 8 runners can win On paper SUNNY BABA should win from LUMINOUS GOLD but make note of NOBLE KINGDOM here who is very very fit and ready to win as track work suggest and will leave then standing if tried today which i believe is very likely worth a small eachway punt.
Tips: SUNNY BABA / LUMINOUS GOLD Upset: NOBLE KINGDOM

Race 5: MADAM RICH only performs when the right money comes her way can never back such horses if they win good luck.taking her out of the pitcure gives the race a open look WAR CHILD who has been tracking very well is my first pick to win from MANGALYA PRARAMBH who doesnot belong to this class. the upset here can come from MAC

Tips: WAR CHILD / MANGALYA PRARAMBH Upset: MAC

Race 6: All 4 horses here look evenly matched, being a 4 horse field in a sprint it will come down to tactics and that will be the only reason why KYLES OF BUTE can lose today and is not worth a bet.I am going for MIGHTY HEART due to the jockey who has a good feel of the course and is a excellent judge of pace.
Tips: MIGHTY HEART

Race 7: QUEENS GUEST is starting her classic campagne should have no trouble here if her connections decide to try her and is my pick to win from RARE AND PRECIOUS who will be right there

Tips: QUEENS GUEST / RARE AND PRECIOUS

Race 8: Open race with horses 3-4-5-7 in with a good chance I believe CART WHEEL has a slight advantage but belongs to a gambeling connection hence watch the flow of money. GRIS RAPIDE can win again if he can over come the wide draw should place for sure. Make note of INDIA SHINING today with 8 horses of which 4 look to be in for a run gives it a very good chance to sneak in a place at long odds and win is not out of the radar.
Tips: CART WHEEL / GRIS RAPIDE Upset: INDIA SHINING

Bangalore 21 Nov

Very confusing card today which can be a punters graveyard hence take it easy.

Race 1: Will be interesting to see the outcome of this race. whatever the result the winner will be from the top 4 horses.Both REDSHIFT and HENRYS SECRET have run togeather and both lost last time thanks to the Jockey. I expect both these horses extending each other today and I think the latter has a slight edge over the former. LATVIA is unknown quality but has been prepared well and will be right there. Over all it is very hard to Pick a winner here as all the above 3 horses can extend each other. Make note of SAYONARA altough equipment and choice of jockey suggest a negetive bet but the last sprut suggest she can upset or place at high odds can go a long way.

Tips: HENRYS SECRET / REDSHIFT / LATVIA Upset: SAYONARA

Race 2: A Class IV race with VB horses.My first pick here is MISS PUKKA who I believe today will be the horse to beat and should win or at worst place Par mishap or wrong intent from SPLENDID GLORY or RAIN MAN .

Tips; MISS PUKKA / SPLENDID GLORY

Race 3: Cant reccomend a bet on FLEETING ARROW in this race as not sure on how fit the horse is after the setback as Track movements are average and also the Fact that Appu who has guided this horse to most Victories has today accepted to ride against him which is intersting however in saying so if the horse is right he will win but it will pay to halve your bets.If there is going to be an upset here then it will be from either 3-7-10. I personally believe SOBERANO is the one to note who should at worst place or can win too at long odds provided Ghatala decides not to then FANTABULOUS PRINCE can sneek in a place as is best suited by handicap.

Tips: FLEETING ARROW (not worth the risk at these odds) SOBERANO Up: FANTABULOUS PRINCE

Race 4: Going by preparation and the Mock race SILKEN THOMAS should win FLIP YOUR DESTINY is the dark horse can sneak a place and can upset.

Tips: SILKEN THOMAS Upset: FLIP YOUR DESTINY

Race 5: First timer so hard to say however ALLURING looks to be in a forward condition and can surprise.

Race 6: This is a very tough race and best left alone as most of the 3yos here will contend in the up coming classics On paper ENDURING STAR should win from SUPERLATIVO or ROYAL AMBER . Make note of ALCHESAYE here has a benifit of a run and can upest this set of R Marshall decides to can place at long odds.

Tips: ENDURING STAR / SUPERLATIVO / ROYAL AMBER Upset: ALCHESAYE

Race 7: ALLEGRO will be hard to catch today if he hits the front the inside draw will help the cause looks certain in plcae hence my first choice ARABIAN MEMORIES who will only put his best foot forward if the right money comes his way it is always advisable to leave such horses. TRAFALGAR SQUARE hence is my second pick.

Tips: ALLEGRO / TRAFALGAR SQUARE

Win Treble/Kaichi: MISS PUKKA / SILKEN THOMAS / FLEETING ARROW

Place treble/Kaichi: HENRYS SECRET / MISS PUKKA / ALLEGRO

Bangalore 15 Nov

Fighting card today

Race 1: Its hard to tip 2yos running 4 the first time hence will pay to just watch but track work does suggest ANGELFIRE is in a forward condition along with JAMAICAN BOLT make note of the latter can spring a surprise or place at long odds.

Race 2: A VB race where the flow of money will decide the outcome. However what ever the out come make note of FOUR SEASONS who is definitely not a VB horse and will be the one to beat has been tracking well and a decent jockey will make his presence felt par mishap. SUPER SPEAR is the danger will give the former a run for the money. SENSATIONAL BAY is one for the notebook is nicely placed on handicap and the step up in distance can see him in place money and can upset too.
Tips: FOUR SEASONS / SUPER SPEAR Upset: SENSATIONAL BAY
Race 3: Looks like a straight fight between HILL OF GRACE who might find this distance a bit sharp however has been well prepared and the under performed HALL MARK who's track movements suggest a wine here and will be the one to beat. Not much can be read into the rest of the field however KANDIATE can place at long odds.
Tips: HALL MARK / HILL OF GRACE Upset: KANDIATE

Race 4: Very open race but ADORABELLA will be the horse to beat looks to be a certain place and win is not out of the question has the right jockey and drawn well on the inside will help her conserve some energy for the finish. of the other many can be in the reckoning my second choice is DOUBLE EMERGE but follow the market on all these horses. FREE GLIDER always runs well fresh and can sneak in a place at long odds.
Tips: ADORABELLA / DOUBLE EMERGE Upset: FREE GLIDER

Race 5: Once again a very open race and in my opinion horses 1-2-7-10 will be involved in the finish.of which CASINO ROYAL who will only gallop if there is money on him is definitely tracking very well but let the flow of money decide his faith from RED RUBEN who has come to hand and is in good condition to be the one to beat. Make note of STAR BLUE who's connections have decided to run him in a higher class as she is not a weight carrier hence with 49.5 kgs will be right there should place at long odds and don't be surprised if she wins.
Tips: RED RUBEN / CASINO ROYAL Upset: STAR BLUE

Race 6: In My opinion REFLECTION OF GOLD is a very talented filly who's run in the Hyd 1000g should be ignored as she dint seem to relish the course and ran green but today on home soil and very good track movements and a decent handicap is the horse to beat and place looks certain. ARISTOS is also a horse with a bright future with a 11 1/2 kg advantage over the favorite can spring a surprise. OWN VOICE has done nothing wrong so far but has to beat the above two the horse that can place here at long odds is STONE OF DESTINY don't ignore for minor combinations.

Tips: REFLECTION OF GOLD / ARISTOS / OWN VOICE

Race 7: SOUTHERN CHARGE is running the right distance today and is the only horse that will keep FANTASTIC QUEST honest.

Race 8: TIMELESS TREASURE is a good horse and fit enough but belongs to gambling connection hence will pay to follow the flow of money will win if on job or if the connections have a winner earlier in the day. ABLE ASSOCIATE has to give weight to the former which can be a big ask.upset here is VALID EXPECTATION and it will pay not to ignore LUNAR LUST for minor combinations can spring a surprise as she has the class to do it as long she gets the go ahead.
Tips: TIMELESS TREASURE / ABLE ASSOCIATE Upset: VALID EXPECTATION

Race 9: Going by track work and other combinations LUSH FOLIAGE is the horse to beat in this race if all goes well if now will be in the top 3 the only danger look to be AWESOME BEAUTY will be right there if the former fails to get up.
Tips: LUSH FOLIAGE / AWESOME BEAUTY

Good luck all

Bangalore day Two 8th Nov

Race 1: although there are some decent 3yos running in open class IV its important to understand the 4yos and over are not out of form horses. CHELSY DANCER in my opinion is avery smart 3yo and in time will be running in the highest class is definately better then the other 3yos in this set but the fact that she burst her blood vessel in her last start and since has been on the track only 3 times in the past 3 months and is running after a break of 100++ days is a worry if she is fit she will win but its hard to reccomend her as a betting proposition.The oldest horse in this set is ZAIOS who in my opinion has improved with age and is in great heart hence dont be surprised if he wins should place at worst. LAGO VISTA is one for the red book will pick up a race this season can upset today.

Tips: CHELSY DANCER / ZAIOS Upset: LAGO VISTA



Race 2: Bad race TERN ME ON and LATVIA should fight it out according to odds and trackwork however if these horses were any good they wont be running in this class which make the race wide open, the horse that seems to have some form and experience is PANJURY hence if tried can win looks on job watch the market and chose.make note of HENRYS SECRET can place at long odds.

Tips: PANJURY / TERN ME ON Upset: HENRYS SECRET


Race 3: ONE at these odds is a false favorite hence avoidable.3 horses that should beat her today are horses 4-6-7. My personal pick whould have been SPLENDID POWER as a good bet however since its behavior at the gates is questionable I am hesistant to do so.If he does not take a level start then the race will be between 4-7. ANNAS QUEST will be right there today and can upset make note worth a eachway punt from the far improved GRIS RAPIDE who is well placed on handicap and the draw will suit him well should easily place and can win if the jockey can handle him.

Tips: SPLENDID POWER / ANNAS QUEST Upset: GRIS RAPIDE

Race 4: ORIGINALITY has a big job ahead of her today if she wins in this set then good luck. DINESA and MERCURIAL have been hiding true form for a long time the former has a very good chance today however the intent of V shinde to ride against Ramu and the inconsistancy of I Ghatala is the worry if both the factors are not involved you have a winner and the latter is in the same situation is a winner when the intent is there hence i have to gone for

IN THE ZONE who will win if the above two are not interested.

Tips: IN THE ZONE / DINESA Upset: MERCURIAL

Race 5: This is a tough race the drop in distance and the fact that there are some speedy horses in this set wont make it easy for EQUIDAE on the other hand ALCMENE is running after a long break hence its hard to judge her fitness, which leaves only 3 horses in my equation. KYLES OF BUTE who is blazing the track and and the time of 1-7.56 in heavy going is (pentromt 5.6) is a class 1 performance hence will be the one to beat and Place looks a certainty. APPLIQUE who made a impressive debut in class VB proved that he is class one just by the manner of victory and has still not been extended. The upset here by all means is SPARK OF CLASS dont ignore this horse today a small each bet or in minor combinations is highly reccomended.

Tips: KYLES OF BUTE / APPLIQUE Upset: SPARK OF CLASS



Race 6: ICEBREAKER is a good horse and should prove her class in this weak set the dark horse is MOTHERS PRIDE can place at long odds and upset too make note. dont ignore FLAMING LAMBORGINI for minor combinations.

Tips: ICEBREAKER Upset: MOTHERS PRIDE



Race 7: Cant understand why SCENIC MELODY melody is the favorite unplaced in the last 3 starts of which 2 were handicap races, running after a break of 100 days and only 2 trackworks in that span if she wins it won be on her talent hence good luck. AQUITAINE too after an impressive debut is running after 6 months hard to judge hence avoidable KAJURAHO has been tracking well and has the potential once again its hard to judge intentions of Ghatala and Shinde hence let the ring decide. My frist pick here is SUNNY BABA who has come to hand and had a good run in mysore hence will be the one to beat. Both YOUR DESTINY and LUMINOUS GOLD have only been discounted for the riders and if given a fair ride either can win dont ignore for minor bets or combinations.

Tips: SUNNY BABA / KAJURAHO / LUMINOUS GOLD Upset: YOUR DESTINY

Bangalore First day 07 Nov 2008

Good luck on the first day of Bangalore season which looks to be a competitive day and mixed results are eminent. besides the popular Jockeys Shoban Babu has some interesting mounts and is worth looking into and Trainers B Prithviraj and N Darashah should be in the money today.

Race 1: Best to leave this race as first timers hence anything can happen RASHIDA has been tracking well can upset but best is to leave the race.

Race 2: This is a VB race but most horses here are better then VB hence it will be a interesting finish. FIREY BUSINESS on this handicap and distance looks a good bet however I have no faith in the trainers intentions and hence would advise to halve your bets or avoid the horse. of the other only 3 horses look like 2-3-4-7-8 will be involved at the busy end ACTION HERO looks the better of the lot however the distance looks a bit sharp hence my first pick is. EVERYTHING NICE who has been tracking well had a good and easy forward run in Mysore and looks to be preferred over his stablemate due to jockey factor hence my first choice. AMAZING FLORA can upset but not likely to be on job.
Tips: EVERYTHING NICE / ACTION HERO Upset: AMAZING FLORA

Race 3: EDMONDO in my opinion will find this distance out of his compass specially at these weights the main dangers here are horses 6-7 .Track work suggest EXCELLENT ABILITY is in rousing form but the choice of jockey is questionable. Hence I am going for XEL who is today at a 7 kg handicap advantage over the Favorite and looks a certain place that can win too.
Tips: XEL / EXCELLENT ABILITY/ EDMONDO

Race 4: In terms of handicap and current preparation ALCHESAYE looks to be the horse they all have to beat from either MY FRIEND PAUL or BADGE OF HONOR as both horse look very good and will be in the top 3 with latter looking certain for a place.
Tips: ALCHESAYE / MY FRIEND PAUL / BADGE OF HONOR

Race 5: Three of the greatest horses of their era are entered in this race 2 of them are running with future classics in mind of the three the horse best suited by this trip is BOURBON KING who will not be stopped by weight but by fitness or wrong intentions. EINSTEIN is the one horse that can place at long odd from RIO BRAVO who at best can place as Drawn one is not going to do any Favors. I Personally don't recommend a bet in this race however don't ignore horse 3-6-11 for minor combinations.
Tips: BOURBON KING / EINSTEIN / GREEN BAX

Race 6: This is a very tough race however PANCHAKSHARI has everything in her favor today to win here, The fact that the connections have opted to run her in a higher class and change of equipment and good draw are all indications of a winner today hence my first pick to win from ANDRONICUS who's only disadvantage is the wide draw which can affect the result.Make note of INDIA SHINING in this race not very often will you see Warren Singh horses running in Aluminai shoe plus the horse is well place on handicap and is worth a small each way punt.
Tips: PANCHAKSHARI / ANDRONICUS Upset: INDIA SHINING

Race 7: Bad race and it will pay to follow the flow of money in this race My first pick is MEDIA MAN to win from either SHISHAM or EVENT HORIZON will pay to watch the flow of money in the last 3 mts here.

Tips: MEDIA MAN / SHISHAM / EVENT HORIZON
