Pune 23 Aug

Race 1: VB race and will be an interesting finish, looking at the card horses 1-4-5-7-8 will be tried. Last Nights Sonnet, has the best chance but is not placed well on handicap.Beacon Light, is a much improved horse and should pick up a few races this season hence my first choice. Make note of Charlie Parker, rarely will you see a 10yr old going for a fast gallop in trackwork, intensions are there the horse has class and at this age has nothing to lose will pay to have a eachway bet on him in this weak set I will definatly do so.

Tips:Beacon Light,Last Nights Sonnet, Upset:Charlie Parker, (note worth a punt)

Race 2: Tricky one, Frangipani, who is the best in the set has no trackwork which means nothing as the trainer is know to hide trackwork of his horse before a gamble... Make note only if money come her way lots of it. Wild Torronaado, ran a brave race last time can improve with the jockey has to beat the former if tried.El Bunduq, will be right there. Make note of Pacemaker, should keep them honest can upset should place.

Tips:Wild Torronaado,El Bunduq, Upset: Pacemaker,

Race 3: Unknown quality of horses hence hard to chose Titan, looks a good type and is tracking well. Bright Future, is a speedy type can upset. Make note of Always Smile, looked very impressive in the mock race can upset here at long odds should place.

Tips: Titan,Bright Future, Upset:Always Smile, (note)

Race 4: Although Critical Acclaim, is above this class I am not too sure if the FILLY will stay the trip with 61.5 kgs not worth the risk or halve your bets.The race is likely to be in the top wieghts hence anyhorse from 1-5 and win.Chandelier, is my first pick to either beat Saddlers Rule, or the Favorite.

Tips;Chandelier,(note) Critical Acclaim,Saddlers Rule,

Race 5: It will be interesting to see how Rajendra handles the pace of this race today, horses like Running Bull, and Escravos, who are fast horses will not let the Favorite dictate the terms which will make the finish very interesting if the jockey panic at top wieght. I personaly believe he will and that will throw the race open to second wind horses.Portrush, is the one for the notebook was given a easy run first up today well paced by the terms can upset along with stablemate Elmwood,

Tips:Portrush,(note) Red Romeo, Upset:Elmwood,

Race 6: Star Impact, is definately a better horse then Feet Of Flames, but with H Metha and syndicates its hard to know the intent.Premier Perception, is very well suited on handicap Draw and distance hence my first pick and Strathendrick,is well placed on handicap and can upset.

Tips: Premier PerceptionStar Impact,, Upset: Strathendrick,

Race 7: Kapathos, is very well placed on handicap is my first pick to beat Duke Of Windsor, or Force Of Law, note latter can upset at good odds.

Tips:Kapathos,Duke Of Windsor, Upset:Force Of Law,(note)
