Pune 26 Sept

Very funny card here mixed results should be expected however dont hold back for big surprises... S K Sunderji will be the Flavor of the Day

Race 1: This is a race for unsound donkeys so its best to stay away however Houdini, and Marine Zone, will dominate the finish the latter looks better but can say Blazing Speed, is not likely to be tried but is the dark horse that can upset if tried.

Race 2: Could be a likely Gamble on Brilliant Moon, in this race and flow of money will decide the outcome here horses 1-2-3 are linked with the above horse and is there is a Gamble they wont be in the fight horse 7 is still a maiden and not worth it which leaves only Bemisaal, and Sparkler, the latter is the better of the 2 and will be the one to beat no matter what.
Tips: Sparkler, Bemisaal,

Race 3: Proceed with caution on Star Future, although he won well last time has beaten no one plus on 15/09/2010 Laryngeal Abnormality whic is only 10 days back, has a huge jump in class and also up in distance is definatly not worth a bet. I think it will be a straight fight between Oh Calcutta, and Mighty Crusader, and the former has a decent handicap advantage
Tips: Oh Calcutta,

Race 4: Bad race as none of the horses have done anything so far however make note of Ardent Lover, and Foxtrot, for an upset or minor bets.. I personally would have opted for the latter if the jockey was different would have backed even if C Chowgle was on him but never with this jockey.

Race 5: Will be an interesting fight between Riding Fantasy, and Guns N Roses, the latter is my first pick.
Race 6: River Blitz, has a huge task on his hands and it wont be easy to justify favortisum,,, Zaracha, Forward Charge, and Super King, who is the best of the 3 Lagad horses will make life very difficult for the favorite I personall feel the will will come form the 3 and give Super King, a good chance
Tips:(Good EW) Super King, Zaracha, Upset: Forward Charge,

Race 7: Ocean Admiral, who was given a ridiculous ride last time can turn the tables here provided he can concede wieght to Caribbean Queen, who seems to be a nice type the winner should be between them
Race 8: Ocean Star, has to beat Shodaan, to prevail here as there doesnot seem to be a lot of interested contenders here
Race 9: Looks Like none of the big names are interested to take the trophy from the Income Tax Commisioner hahah Swoosh, is the likely upset here
Race 10: Red Tabasco, and N Lagad will fight it out I think the Latter is better and can beat the Favorite....

Pune 25 Sept

ItS very likely the card will be dominated by fancied runners. H Daji has a likely double but N Lagad may dominate the day with some long shots So WATCH OUT


Race 1: horses 1-9can be eliminated due to lack of form and jockey, Horses 3-8 have merit but are gamble horses and don't think they will be tried here so its safe to ignore them unless there is a big plunge in betting which is un likely..Malcolm is the first jockey for both horses 2-7 and has picked 7 after working both animals which takes 2 out. from the rest we have Honey Bee, who I must say has fitness issues has burst a blood vessel last time and has a slight out side chance. between the 2 Lagad horses Chingari, is a better animal in my opinion and considering the prep work.. handicap and last run it is very hard to look past Walk Of Life, who will win but the ring will be the best indicator of Intent.
Tips: Walk Of Life, Chingari, Upset: Honey Bee,

Race 2: Tricky race horses 1-5-6-8 are only once that look serious contenders here the rest are for numbers... Enchanted, has a fair chance but let the flow of money decide her faith. the well bred Suzy Wong, has got better with every run and today has the best credentials to win and should be right there Ijlal, has the best handicap and is running the right distance plus has the decent jockey and will be right there along with Divine Majesty,
Tips:Suzy Wong, Divine Majesty, Upset: Ijlal, ( will place can win note)

Race 3: Horses 2-4-5-6 look to be the only serious contenders Jalsa, looks well prepared and should win provided the connections taste success in the first race so it will pay to decide at the last minute and watch the flow of money on her Grey Phantom, however will keep her honest and should be right there.Swiss Belle, is running amongst her peers today should be involved in the finish
Tips:Jalsa, Swiss Belle, Upset: Grey Phantom,
Race 4: Open race as many contenders here however its important to point out Watch Out, does not belong to this class if she does not play up at the start she will win today the inside draw may prevent her to stop galloping stable mate Wild Imagination, and Hickory, both have merit and if WO fails they will dominate the finish.
Race 5: it will pay to stay away from Talk Of The Town, today as firstly he is subject to a pending enquiry secondly if there is a gamble on Divine, he will be on a holiday if you cant find a winner then leave the race of take a chance on devine only if backed.Arabian Pride, is in very good form and I strongly suggest to take a small eachway chance on him.

Race 6: Beyond Belief, has all the right things in his favor i.e Jockey/handicap/distance /draw and will be hard to beat from the rest of the runners any one can win however it would be foolish to ignore Ikaria, even at this handicap as he is running his pet distance and will be right there and is worth a eachway punt don't Ignore Flaming Arrow, has had a decent rest and will be fresh and should not be ignored for minor bets.
Tips:Beyond Belief, Ikaria, Upset: Flaming Arrow,

Race 7: Rigel, should beat Light My Way, again as I am not too confident on her stamina. Saddlers Rule, is the best of the rest and is the likely upset here.
Tips: Rigel, Upset: Saddlers Rule,

Race 8: Surprised by the standard of jockeys in this race should be named the Work Jockey Trophy... Stormette, is a nice type but may find the trip sharp two horses are worth considering here for minor bets or Combinations Starlight Magic, and Marigold, and either of these horses will be tried they can upset the former is better.

Race 9: Top Action Alohamora,Hammerhead, Young Offender, are all in with a chance if tried as for me it Game Set Match on Alohamora,

Simple Steps

What makes you decide to put your hard earned money on a horse.

1) Odds

2) Jockey

3) Khabar

4) Past performance

5) Trainer

6) Conditions

7) Pattern

8) Handicap

9) Distance

10) Prize money

11) Type of Race

I will be writing on each of these topics once on a weekly basis however for me to give more importance to a particular topic I need you all to vote on what is your deciding factor on backing a horse as this information will help me in the articles.

My Response

Normally I don't like to justify my actions as I do believe that I try and give my best in what i do. I accept that I have a different way of looking at a race card and it has nothing to do with which horse is the favorite.

However in response to Mr K V Ramana's AKA Venduku and the various alias's message all I can say is If you don't want to get confused the don't visit the Blog.... Its simple.

Since it is a fresh topic I have decided to write my views on certain myths that if it is a favorite it has to win but before I do that I would like everyone to take there time and read an article written by Mr Sharan Kumar who in the past few months has changed his angle on journalism on racing in racing Pulse which has made me admire his goodwill to share some of the pro's and con's on horse racing and how it is conducted in India below is the link to his article.

http://www.racingpulse.in/code/stpage.aspx?pgId=17814 Why most punters back only favorites? ( Wednesday, September 15, 2010 )

His article details many eye openers and facts that many a common punter over look.

Going back to the Myth that I don't Tip Favorites and confuse the followers of favorites will only come into prospective once you understand how I look at a race card and decide on what is worth backing and what is not, I do accept that 7 out of 10 times I am wrong but I only focus on making my money on the right 3.

I have been exposed to horse racing since I was a child, without naming names since I was 12 yrs old I have seen Jockeys, trainers owners in my growing stages many of them are still riding or training and that exposure of listening to all these people has given me a lot of exposure to the ins and outs of racing and I don't call my self a scholar but I do believe I have a lot to offer to an average punter who are not fortunate enough to have my background and knowledge.

There are many factors that affect a race and the horses that run in it, but in Indian racing there are additional factors and the most relevant factor that can decide the outcome is Connections, pattern and credibility if you can understand the above 3 factors half your job is done.... things like track work, fitness, jockey, pedigree are not relevant if above 3 factors are not understood.

many jockey's are interconnected so are trainers and owners, this web is every evolving as time passes by so its very important to be up to date with whats happening in the racing world which is very tough for anyone. the amount of money that changes hands in horse racing is so huge that it fair to say if cricketers are paid to bowl No Bowls can u image what the jockeys can be paid to and cash being a un traceable commodity its practically impossible to prove anything.

Many Years ago in the 90's a particular owner who had 12 horses under him sold all of them overnight and when I asked him why he told me a jockey on one of his horses was paid Rs 1000 not to finish in the top 4...haha. however I wont write more on these topics but will make a commitment to write on different issues in the future and would like your input on what topics you would prefer.

Now back to how I read a card When I see a Race card I first see the card without the jockeys a day before then I study the night odds and go from there.

The first question I ask myself is why is this particular horse at these odds, Normally I start with the favorite and their relevant form then I look at horses that can beat the favorite quoted in the night odds I then study the relevant forms of horses that are running against the favorite and also try and establish relevant jockeys and trainers connections of other horses with the favorite... finally I look for patterns it is one of the most important factor in studying the card which unfortunately many people either don't know or don't understand. When I say pattern is different trainers have different patterns... i.e Training patterns, runs in between races, flow of money,jockey factor, odds and preparation of there horses. If you look at first race of Sunday this is how I came to deciding that 2 horses look the likely candidates.... Since It was distance race over 12 flg I first eliminated horses that were running out of their compass as per breeding i.e ANEMOS bred to go up to a mile or a bit over, TINTORETTO is in a similar radar, WINNING TREAT out of class, STAR INVITATION can stay but first run over 6flg which left with 3 credible horses of which I discounted the winner because I dint think he would beat O Magic... and reason I opted for REINSTATE as my second choice because of last run. Now ORIENTAL MAGIC was my selection due to the trainers Pattern of how he gets his winners... S K Sunderjis horses...Never win in Steele plate, Very Rarely win in there first run, almost away have a positive change of jockey and always brought down in handicap in that particular season... with all those ticks an lack of company she should have won and hence my pick.

The only reason I was not very confident on the horse is because of the Wadhwan Horse in the field S Invitation so I ignored the race.

I don't want favorites to lose or misguide people with some vested interest as assumed by people in the past I don't see the value in backing them if I have the slightest doubt in the race. Some people may find this logic utter rubbish but this info is for the ones who are curious.

Pune 19th Sept

Race1: open race but looks a straight fight between Reinstate, and Oriental Magic, I do feel the former should win here or at worst place.
Race 2: Swahili, and Misschevious Trot, should fight for honors however the former is ridden on merit will be hard to beat.
Race 3: This will be a interesting race and Nefyn, will not get it easy and is not a worthy favorite under 2-1 as both River Star, and Semper Eadem, will be right there as a matter of fact i believe both will beat her. Make note of Lago Medio, as an upset here as the pace will be scorching and the fact that he likes to come off the pace and in good racing form he will be finishing on and can upset on the post
Tips:River Star, Semper Eadem, Upset: Lago Medio,
Race 4: hard to judge let the best stayer win Rapide, can upset here Note.
Race 5: Confiserie, is a moody horse but a different class animal she is tracking well enough too and its very difficult to go past her as if she decides to gallop she will win easily Gamba, should finish in the top 3.
Tips: Confiserie, Gamba, Upset: Fish Pilot,
Race 6: Very open race and any one can win my pick by prefrence are Ocean Wish, Angels Pursuit, Viva La Diva, make note of the second named here.

Race 7: Dictator, who won well last time has a change in equipment which is strange ??? so proceed with caution. Blazing Spectacle, is a hore hiding true form and class I am hoping they will try her today as she is well rested and tracking very well and is definately the danger to this field

Tips:( Good Eachway)Blazing Spectacle, Dictator, Upset: Creme De La Creme,
Race 8: Horses 1-2-3-5-7 look the only serious contenders here Aberdovey, has everything in her favor today but I am not very convienced that the odds are justified ??? Gloria, is probably the most under rated horse in the field due to the jockey however if the Green Signal is given which is likely then the Donkey can win on the horse.
Tips: Gloria, Aberdovey, Upset: Solid Rock,

Pune 18th Sept

Race 1: Sea Bucaneer, has the merit and should be involved at the important end but is definatly not a outstanding prospect here Enticement, who was a bit unfit first up is now ready to strike as be track and should give the former a lot of grief. in my opinion Prince Of Troy, has the best chance to win today ans definatly wortha good eachway bet. Fantastic, has some fitness issues as evident form lack of trackwork plus i think the distance is a bit too sharp for her.
Tips: Prince Of Troy,Enticement, Upset Fantastic,
Race 2: this is a very open race for unfit horses however it is important to understand that Aristocratical, Thundering Star, are well above this class of horses if either of them are tried that will be hard to beat, the former belongs to a gamble connection and has issues with his blood vessel however with the CNB today he wont be running keen which helps his cause but if money doesnot com his way it wont help your cause. the latter may find the distance a bit long but as the company is weak can cause a upset note.

Race 3: Doi Moi, is on paper better then Cambiasso, however both horses are interlinked by trainers and jockeys so it is hard to know which of the 2 will be tried genuienly I think the former but i could be wrong. Make a note of Go Guzzi Go, who will be making the pace and if it is too slow might just hang on best to leave the race.
Race 4: Nou Camp, has the best credentials at this handicap and should give the field a run for the money make note of Ptolemy, today who is worth a small eachway bet dont ignore
Tips: Ptolemy, Nou Camp, Upset: Major Wager,

Race 5: its very un usual that Angelo, has not been on track since last run which was about 2 months back and being the favorite is a ??? best ignored and good luck if he wins. Aristocratic, who once had a bright future had a setback and looks like he has come to hand again and is the best of the fancied runners. however this is a open race and Solor, Ashwa Puskar, and Red Dragon, are the 3 who can win here the first 2 are tracking very well the second named is running a handicap race for the first tim but I am not very confident on her staying the mile so ignored. The last name is now fit and ready to strike at this handicap and can win here.
Tips:Red Dragon, Aristocratic, Upset: Solor,

Race 6: Ocean Yarrman, is running first time after being gelded although he is tracking ok the weekly gap inbetween track suggest some fitness issues I think he needs the run so proceed with caution Flashing Sword, and choice of jockey is questionable is a speedy horse but 7 flg look a bit long Samiel, is tracking well and looks fit for this race will be in the top 3. watchout for Set Afire, today will only loose if the connections decide on her faith otherwise should win.
Tips:(days best) Set Afire, Samiel, Upset: Lyrical Symphony,
Race 7: Spark Of Gold, has the best credentials however i dont think the pune track will be to her liking......... both Native Knight, and Cabriolet, were ridden to lose last time todays result will prove that as both will finish way ahead of C CAll..... on handicap Native Knight, is far superior of the two but I still believe he will remain a maiden thanks to Maseeha, who ran unfit and under prepared last run today is very fit as evident by track movements and should account for it.
Tips Maseeha, Native Knight,
Race 8: Petra, will be hard to toss if tried should win here from Ocean Power, make note of The Saint, will be right there.
Tips: Petra, Ocean Power, Upset: The Saint,

Race 4: Banana Boy, note for a gamble or it should be Paper King,

Race 5: Saltoro ( Days Best)

Race 6: Svelte Lady,

Race 7: Crystal,Ariane,

Race 8: Dream Talk, Make note of Crowned Princess, today dont worry about the jockey

Race 1: Expect a big gamble on Equality, who will win if tried Magical Mantra, looks the danger.

Looks like there are may false favorites today so be careful. Good luck

I am still in a impossible position to post at least 4 the next 10 days from home and internet cafes rstrict me so only brief opinions.
Race 5: the well bred Floods Of Fortune, is not worth a bet under 2-1 atlast 4 horses can beat her Saddlers Rule, Desert Dynamite,Tara, Krug, I personally belive the first 2 will definately beat her today on handicap. Saddlers Rule, in my opinion is vastly improved and s worth a bet and Desert Dynamite, who is a eminent danger will keep the former honest only if her blood vessel does not busrt.
Tips: Saddlers Rule, Desert Dynamite,
Race 6: Doctor No,
Race 7: Blackjack, is tracking well but first run 7 flg against some decent animals in a big field is not wortha bet Ocean Princess, C'est La Vie, will improve a lot since last run the former in particular and should win. Make not of Rain Forest, as an upset here is tracking very very well and should not be ignorsed atleast for place and win is possible.
Tips: Ocean Princess, Upset: Rain Forest,
Race 9: Bonny Light, and Destined Prince, should fight it out the former is ready to strike and the latter is well above this class and its just a matter of time. definately worth a ew punt. Pure Devotion, is tracking well note for place or minor combos
Race 10: Hammerhead,

No Postings

Unfortunately i dont have a internet connection at home due to a fault hence posting is impossible

However the following horses should win

Emerald Valley,Flying JewelWalk Of Life,Blue Thunder,Blazing SpectacleMidsummer Knight,

Mixed race card today with many hidden Gamble horses that can win most of these horse belong to Rehnuallah Khan i.eFantastic,Soophie and Major Wager are the horses in question but they will be tried only if money comes their way . Forever Amber, Flaming Arrow, Wild Torronaado, Ocean Admiral, Lunar Quest, are fancied horses that should account for their support.

Watch Out,Glides Line, National Glory, can be the long shots of the day along with Hi Dolly.

Race 1: Expect a lot of improvement from Forever Amber, who was was unfit last run and with 5 1/2 kg advantage over 12 flg will trouble the favorite and can beat her too

Tips: Forever Amber,

Race 2: Difficult race as the faith of both Fantastic, and Ijlal, depend on the connections if money comes their way they should run well the former is a far superior horse of the two. From the lagad band there is a serious problem and any of his 3 horses can win I think Watch Out, is a decent animal if he take a level jump the Watch out. Which leave the neutral horse Towering High, who is tracking well enough to worry them all I suggest to leave the race.

Tips: Towering High, Upset: Watch Out,

Race 3: If Flaming Arrow, has recoverd since last run he will have no problems keeping Sea Value, at bay.

Tips: Flaming Arrow, Sea Value,

Race 4: Wild Torronaado, if ridden on merits will be hard to toss Arabian Pride, on the back of an impressive win may find this trip sharp but will place at worst.Soophie, if tried can upset the lot.

Tips:Wild Torronaado, Soophie, Upset:Arabian Pride,

Race 5: Hard to judge the race how ever make note of Glides Line, here he will be right there and is worth a eachway punt.

Race 6: Expect a lot of improvement from Ocean Admiral, who should win only danger is Zafayona,

Race 7: Lunar Quest, is tracking very well and is the one to beat however horses like National Glory, who is a different class animal but has fitness issues is the one that will beat the field if tried. Major Wager, has age against him but this is class IV and the horse is tracking very well and looks fit to upset.

Tips: Lunar Quest, National Glory, Upset: Major Wager,

Race 8: Very open race however Roses All The Way, will be hard to toss at this handicap Suzy Wong, is the obvious danger and the race should be interesting. Hi Dolly, is the dark horse and can spring a surprise let the ring indicat the intentions.

Tips: Roses All The Way, Suzy Wong, Upset: Hi Dolly,

Its Clear todays card will favor the punter however I have been proven wrong many times when I have said that so make an educated bet.

Race 1: Mia Stella, will have no trouble in keeping the rest at bay however it will be intereting to see how she performs carrying 59kgs over a untested distance, Reinstate, will keep her honest and will place at worst.

Race 2: Sparkler, has been tracking extremly well and should convert that to a win has to beat The First Lady, who is fit and well.

Race 3: Ocean Wish, should win Banana Boy, can sneak in a place at good odds note.

Race 4: Although Dear Henry, looks good its worth noting that on the 09/08/2010 he had Laryngeal Abnormality which is something that will affect his performance hence its best to leave him alone or the race this race

Red Dragon, has come up a lot since last 2 runs will place and can win Blumarine, has not been on the track however loves pune can win if fit note.

Tips: Red Dragon, Blumarine,

Race 5: The race should be between the 3 fancied runners In my opinion Pure Elation, is a far superior horse but is inter linked with Amore Mio, so hard to say if she is tried. If she is on job she will win.

Tips:Pure Elation, Amore Mio, Upset:

Race 6: Arts, who is in rousing form is certainly beatble today.horses that can beat him are 1-3-5-8-10. Forest Flair, never finished of the board in 14 starts till his last run makes you wonder what happened In my opinion he is the best sprinter in the country but after his last run its hard to be confident on that fact. Portrush, set a very fast pace for his own good last time today with an inside draw and running his pet distance 6flg he will be hard to catch. Slickkit, is the fittest horse in this set will be involved at the finish should place and can upset.if the pace is very fast Pepe Junior, is the one they have to look out for with the wide draw he has the class but never performs at longer odds so its hard to put ur money on her however.

Tips: Portrush, Arts, Pepe Junior, Upset: Slickkit,

Race 7: Tough call may the best horse on the day win Maria Teresa, will be involved at the finish

Race 8: Tell Me More, was very impressive but has to beat the unsound Riding Fantasy, who is a better class animal and race should be limited to the two unless Born Destiny, is tried he can upset and should place.

Race 9: Luck dint favor Creme De La Creme, in her last run and today can be the day as most of the runners here are out for a run and she only has to beat Star Of Killarney, make serious note of Legionnaire, as this horse doesnot belong in this class but is owned by a gamle owner if tried today and due the lack of company he will upset dont ignore for minor bets.

Tips: Creme De La Creme, Star Of Killarney, Upset: Legionnaire,

mysore quick pointers

Foreign Exchange,Flying Tricolour,The Last Samurai, are horses worth following today.

Good Luck

Mixed card for punters with favorites like : Light My Way, Cabriolet, Rajasthan Royals, should prevail Gimme Hope, Ashwa Prahar, Oriental Magic, Untouched,Emerald Valley, Blazing Spectacle, are horses that can win at higher odds.
Horses like Flames Of Fire, Set Afire,Jalsa, Gloria, Moon Flower, can not be ignored for minor combo's or small ew bets.

Race 1: Light My Way, looks better prepared to win this race.
Race 2: Tricky race but the top 3 contenders are 1-2-3-7. Tommy Carmichael, looks out handicaped. Gimme Hope, is very well placed on handicap was given a easy run last time and looks set for a gamble at this handicap. Destined Prince, is tracking very well and loves this track will be there in the fight.
Tips: Gimme Hope, Destined Prince,

Race 3: The wide draw is not going to help Candy Floss, who is tracking very well but has no initial speed which will be a big disadvantage Rising Glory, is also drawn wide but has good speed and will beat the former again, however the race is not between the 2 horses like 1-7-10-12-13 are all worthy contenders. Enticement, does not belong to this class is a far superior animal and look fit enough to win here Hickory, also has a good chance but this trainer jockey combo seem to be off the track so far. Ashwa Prahar, is well drawn and well placed on handicap can upset will place.
Tips: Enticement, Rising Glory, Upset: Ashwa Prahar,
Race 4: Cabriolet, should win but Moon Flower, wont give in without a fight note.
Race 5: Rajasthan Royals, is trackine very well and looks hard to toss here the speedy Gloria, can be the danger and upset.

Tips: Rajasthan Royals, Upset: Gloria,
Race 6: Very Open race Wilna, however will be the horse to beat if she can give wieght all around. Floods Of Fortune, is the best bred in the field and looks well prepared too it will be interesting if the jockey can handle the pressure in the big race race over 10 flg. Sacred Relic, will be one of the horses that will be coming late on the scene and is also place well on handicap and should finish in the money or place. Oriental Magic, is the one horse that can cause a upset make note of her today at this handicap had a easy run earlier this season and with 49 kg will give wilna a tough run. Kalinga Star, is the dark horse.
Tips: Wilna,(note)Oriental Magic, Sacred Relic, Upset: Kalinga Star,

Race 7: Caustic Finale, will have to beat Untouched, and Jalsa, to win here expect a lot of improvement from the latter who is tracking very well.
Race 8: Heiress, is tracking extremly well but it is a first run so its difficult to say how she goes however only 2 horses look to be in the same class as her.Emerald Valley, who will improve a lot since last run and Set Afire, who ran a brave race last week.
Tips:Emerald Valley, Heiress,Upset: Set Afire,

Race 9:A Very Tricky race Semper Eadem, is the horse that they all have to beat as he first run is the best however N Cama horses seem to have lost the touch so its hard to reccomend will be right there. Feona, has big task on her hands as this will not be an easy race for her. she has to beat 2-3-4-9. Kiss Away, looks the best of the lot but has not been on track since last run, Flames Of Fire, ran a very impressive race last time and has the right jockey today age is against the horse but he will be right there can win should place. Blazing Spectacle, is my first pick had a easy run last time but has come up a lot since then as evident by trackwork make note of her today as he will win if tried.
Tips:Blazing Spectacle, Kiss Away, Upset: Flames Of Fire,

Open card with many possible chance in all races on paper. Its worth mentionong the K Jalanwala who sponsered last weeks million has 3 horses running races 3-4-5 and I wont be surprised if the favor is returned its worth following the flow of money on his horses as there will be a huge flow of money on his horses. Horses like Houdini, Ijlal, -Frost Fairy, Honey Bee, Pure Power, Persian Lily, Native Knight, Silver Soul, are all worthy contenders and worth following.

Horses like Landlord, Rajdoot, Kite Runner,Clarion Call, Royal Companion, Misschevious Trot, all are in with a good chance to upset and should be considered for minor combos or small ew or place bets.

Race 1: Houdini, should win open his account today however if there is money on Final Attack, who belongs to gamble connections it will be a different story its no point tipping such horses but let the folw of money decide her faith. Gold Vault, is the one that can upset or atleast place.

Tips: Houdini, Upset: Gold Vault,

Race 2: Ijlal, is placed well on handicap has a decent chance however he is a still am maiden after 18 starts he has to beat any of these horses if they are tried i.e. 3-4-5-8. Secret Talk, and Landlord, have the best credentials of this lot the former can win provided the jockey has the intent but the latter looks definately on job and will be right there make note today.

Tips: Ijlal, Secret Talk, Upset: Landlord, (make note)

Race 3: Enchanted, ran well below par as expected last time as the odds indicated (1 3/4 to 4/1) he was not tried and malesh did a great job of avoiding any stewards inquiry today the connections have 2 horses(prince Cyrus-P Power) and can go for a double however watch the odds and decide I think they will try both horses today I am leaving her as no point tipping. The horse that really stands out in this set is Frost Fairy, and she can win if tried today as the 2 mock races suggest she is fit and improving is running a handicap race for the first time that too in class Vb, right distance and jockey onlt right intention and she will win make note. Celtic Manor, is tracking well but a long layoff and only 3 spurts in 7 months raises a question on fitness. Make note of Rajdoot, his trackwork suggest he is improving a lot and well placed on handicap should be right there and can upset.

Tips: Frost Fairy, Celtic Manor, Upset: Rajdoot,

Race 4: Interesting race Tryst With Destiny, has not raced for almost 8 months but is doing ok on track however hard to pick a horse that races after such long breaks. Prince Cyrus, ran a brave race last and is expected to improve since last run should finish in the frame. Strauss, tracking well however is still maiden so hard to judge her credentials paddock conditions will be a goo Indicator. Tell Me More, ran a good race last time and positive jockey change will help but on handicap is worst off then P Cyrus compared to last run by 4kgs or 6lths hence will have to fight the prince off. However I am going for an outsider here and I believe she will be tried Honey Bee, is the one to note was given a very easy run last time and a improvement of 5-6 lths is expected today everything is right for her to strike and is worth a good eachway bet today.

Tips:(Good EW) Honey Bee, Prince Cyrus, Tell Me More,

Race 5: If Pure Power, is tried he will win make note of her specially if the owners horses win earlier in the day. Admirals Quest, is tracking well however has to beat the former if he has any chance. Kite Runner, is the dark horse that can upset provided he gets a level jump should easily place can win.

Tips: Pure Power, Admirals Quest, Upset: Kite Runner,

Race 6: Ocean Storm, has not been on the track since last run which is very unusual for a sunderji horse hence avoidable can win but not worth the risk. Titleist, has failed one too many times its hard to judge her and drawn win in a field of first timers can be dangerous. Persian Lily, is a very interesting runner and worth a bet due to sheer lack of company and many first timers she is definately the best on track and seems a good type. Swiss Belle, is tracking well enough to sneak in aplace.

Tips: Persian Lily, Ocean Storm, Upset: Swiss Belle,

Race 7: At this handicap and these terms Native Knight, should win. Clarion Call, was very impressive last time has improved a lot since mumbai cant be ignorse here will be right there ans can upset or should place.

Tips: Native Knight, upset: Clarion Call,

Race 8: Mighty Crusader, streched out well in the last mock race but beat no one hence can be ignored. Takestwototango, seems a nice type should be the one to beat Starfall, and the sparingly raced Amore Mio, will keep her honest. Royal Companion, is very well on handicap and can upset dont ignore specially for place.

Tips: Takestwototango, Starfall, Amore Mio, Upset: Royal Companion,

Race 9: Funny and risky race as both fancied runner are not the soundest of animals Flaming Arrow, is definately the better of the 2 but has to overcome a wide draw and some speedy animals on the inside plus is subject to an inquiry so is hardly worth the risk if he wins good luck. Flaring Sun, needs a longer straight and fitness is questionable so best avoided. hence the whole race is thrown open is F Arrow flops. Horses 1-2-3-9-11-13-14 all in with a fair chance. My first pick is Alexus, to beat either Rose Bowl, Misschevious Trot, the latter can win and upset make note.

Tips: Alexus,Misschevious Trot, Rose Bowl,

Race 10: Highland Warrior, doesnot have a lot of oppostion however the wide draw is a clear disadvantage and is not worth the risk under 2-1.Ran Banka, is tracking very well and will not give up without a serious fight I think he will beat the former. from the rest of the runners Silver Soul, is the one that can upset and is wortha good ew bet.

Tips: Ran Banka, Highland Warrior, Upset: Silver Soul, (note)
