Pune 11 Oct Derby day

Race 1: Secret Affair, has the best credentials and is placed well on handicap draw and jockey in this big field should run well today and can win however being such a huge field look for value as there are many hidden chances in this race if any of the following horses are tried they can win 1-2-5-6-7-12. I personally will have a each bet on Grey Island, how seems to have some issues as he is sparingly raced but looking at track work is well above this class Salawati, will keep them honest if the draw is no a issue.

Tips; Secret Affair, Grey Island,(eachway bet30-70) Salawati,

Race 2: on Paper Blue Ray, should win but it will pay to stay away from this race as H Metha has something up his sleeve to stop pesi hence proceed with caution. Swept Away, might be the one Calling The Shots, is my bet in the race as his consistance might pay off in a race where there is going to a clash of Egos.

Tips:Blue Ray, Swept Away, Upset: Calling The Shots,(place or small ew)

Race 3: Golden Memory, Hammerhead, toss up jockey skills are important but the former looks to be a nice horse

Race 4: Oh Calcutta, had a very good forward run and looks well prepared and rested hence my first pick in this open race Sine Qua Non, seems a nice type but first run so hard to say make note of Royal Gesture, who is improving with every run today drawn 1 can led them in the straight and hang on should place.

Tips: Oh Calcutta, Sine Qua Non, Upset: Royal Gesture,

Race 5: Here are a few things to consider before you back Jacqueline, Watch all of her runs, she is a long ranging filly warms up late as she needs a long straight pune is the shortest of all straights and in such a big class one field she needs a crystal clear run or she is gone. Not worth a bet under even money the horse has talent but wait till she runs in mumbai for today admire her and Malesh lol Weizhou, is up 3 classes will try last to first again but this is Class 1 good luck is she places. For the sake of Males I hope Jacqueline, wins but she has to beat horses 2-4-9-11. I am having a eachway bet on Agha, and Oyster Princess, and enjoy the drama.

Tips: Agha,Oyster Princess, Jacqueline,

Race 6: Very open VB race Calypso Queen, and Bravado, are the top 2 contenders but follow the flow of money on them American Idol, is the dark horse can win if tried and will win well

Tips: Bravado,Calypso Queen, Upset : American Idol,

Race 7: Oasis Star, Il Divo, Upset: Oyster Pearl,

Race 8: THE NANOLI STUD PUNE DERBY (GR.1)

1) Cabriolet,: a lot is expected from this horse with a amazing turn of foot will beat Versaki but is not outstanding.

2: Classerville, here is a horse that can upset the Derby only horse to run in graded races has the class but am not sure if all this traveling and frequent flyer miles has done his carrier any good will finish on board and is traveling is not taken its toll Good luck.

3: First Empire, : was my fancy but have decided against him looks like he needs time.

4: Francis Of Assisi, not here not now

5: Mighty Crusader, will stay all day but not upto these horses

6: Native Knight,: well bred but too early

7: Red Dragon,: just back from hydrebad not enough rest

8: Versaki, : 5/5 but kept away from quality horses this season .... Why???... is he too good or are they not sure will find out today last run clearly proved that his staying is a ??? I could be wrong but not my fancy today.

9: Confiserie, : only filly in the set has improved with every run and will improve further and my firt pick to win the derby.

Tips:Confiserie, Cabriolet, Upsett: Classerville,

Race 9: Estevez, with malcom in a 12 horse race and draw 1 is not a good combo.Scenic Silver, who won well first up did nothing to next time typical H Metha fashion so its a open race follow the market or take a punt on Creme De La Creme,

Tips: Creme De La Creme,Scenic Silver, Upset:Sepia Tone,

Race 10: True Elegance, Good bet
