No one has any idea on how the Flu has affected the horses hence for the first 5 days just go very very slow and let all affected horses have a run to prove their fitness or lack of it. I have also noted that most of the fancied runners belong to H Metha or P Shroff and pattern suggest that horses belonging to these two are not tried or dont seem to perform for the first run of the season so please proceed with caution as far as the 2 named are concerned.

Race 1: on Class and consistancy KISS AWAY should win from BLUE DAFFODILS who will be right there and can upset at long odds

Tips: KISS AWAY / BLUE DAFFODILS

Race 2: CALYPSO DANCER is not a VB horse however its hard to say if the horse is fit should win if he is but will pay to halve your bets. MARINE ZONE can sneak in a place at long odds.

Tips: CALYPSO DANCER

Race 3: Bad race but COCAINE will be the one to beat

Race 4: Bad race as most horses seem to be in for a run but horses 1-2-8-9 will be at the main end VIJAYI BHAVA is my first choice from CYCLADES

Tips: VIJAYI BHAVA / CYCLADES

Race 5: If fit AURORA AUREALIS sould win from WAFADAR

Race 6: Track work suggest SUDDEN IMPACT should win however i am going for MARMARIS who if tried will beat the former

Tips: MARMARIS / SUDDEN IMPACT

Race 7: Track movements suggest that POLARISER should win how ever he will have to beat EXPENSIVE AFFAIR

Tips: POLARISER / EXPENSIVE AFFAIR

Race 8: ANGELS GLORY will have to fight it out with her half brother GENERALISSIMO to win this.

Tips: ANGELS GLORY / GENERALISSIMO

Race 9: EKHABINSKYA looks the fittest of this set to win from MYSTERIO who at worst can place here.

Race 10: YOU ARE MY MIRACLE is tracking very well but is a 4yo making her debut try and avoid this race.

Tips:NYALA / MUSICAL RHYTHM

Good luck and Go Very Slow

First day after a long time proceed with caution B Puttana seems to have a few good horses today.

Race 1: there dont seem to be a lot of jobbers in this race after a process of elimination only 4-5-6-7-12 seem to be the ones that are likely to be on job as per track work ORANGE ORCHARD look the fittest of the lot and will be right there and looks certain in place from GREAT CHIEFTAN who will be the one to beat provided money comes his way.
Tips: ORANGE ORCHARD / GREAT CHIEFTAN Upset: MONEY MANTRA

Race 2: SPECIAL CHARM with experience should win here
Race 3: SARMAIDAR can win again and will be the one to beat from FLIP YOUR DESTINY who is very well placed on handicap and will give the former the run for monet and will certainly place.

Bangalore 9 Jan 2009

Race 1:RESOUNDING GLORY should win if on job but horse to beat is Chilli Choclate who will place by default and can upset.

Race 2: Very Open but Buck passer junior will be the one to beat. others thats come in contentions are 6-4-8 in order of prefrence

Race 3: first timers but CAYENNE looks a flase favorite and its never good to back a filly 3yo running in a span of 2 weeks. My pick on trackwork is 2 and 3 who will beat the favorite.

Race 4: Very open race and an upset can be ruled out.My top 3 in prefrence are 7-2-1-9.My first pick is Saptashwa to win from Local Warrior .

Race 5: Its hard to see beyond two genuine sprinter here hence my pick is Aurelian to win from Mercurial.

Race 6: Rebellious is my first choice to win from Supreme Splendour or Luminious Gold.

Race 7:Straight fight between Opprimo and Clouseau but the former has a slight edge

Race 8: Glorious Princess can lose in this set but I have seen better horses lose hence is not worth the risk under Even Money. a small eachway bet on Your Destiny is a better option and place looks certain.

Good luck all back online on the 27th
