Mumbai 19 Dec 2010

Race 1:Open race with Horses 1-2-4-5-6-7-10 all in with a chance. Ariane, is the better performed of the lot but today field does not justify favoritism for the horse. Green Signal, ran a good race first up should improve a lot today will be in the fray along with Secret Magic, who is tracking well and Eye Of The Storm, however there are 3 horses here if tried will beat them all Azul, who had a easy run first up and looks well prepared, Western Challenge, who has run in far superior company and is a different class animal but belongs to a trainer who prefers to make a gamble if tried today he will leave them standing and lastly Sacred Relic, can upset if tried

Tips: Azul, Western Challenge, Upset: Sacred Relic,

Race 2: Superior Quest, should have won last time hopeless jockey and connections.. Highland Music, was unlucky during the pune season and played second fiddle today looks the same. Saints N Sinners, is the only danger and should beat the former make note.

Tips: Saints N Sinners,

Race 3: Hard to pick as too many first timers Sheriff, has been tracking well may place

Race 4: Open race again and many chances Stunning Thunder, has run amongst better horses but the wide draw is a worry in this field Swoosh, is nothing great, Suzy Wong, will be in the top 3 and can beat the above 2. From the rest of the field there are a few hidden horses 4-5-12-13. Wings Of Angels, who disappointed last time is better then the run likes to come from the back today with the wide draw can settle early and can win if tried since the pace will be fast. Born Destiny, is a old animal but has a big heart looks well prepared and will run a good race today and worth a good eachway bet Adams Prince, pune runs should be ignored make no mistake he can win here too.

Tips:Born Destiny, Wings Of Angels, Upset: Adams Prince,

Race 5: On Paper Mystic Quest, should win but I am fed up by the inconstancy of the connections Highland Crown, is a pure class animal and if fit will show his class. Angelo, was gifted the last 2 races will be interesting if his luck continues. Misschevious Trot, has a clear handicap advantage here and if ridden well can upset.

Tips: Misschevious Trot, Upset: Highland Crown,

Race 6: Bespoke, is tracking very well jockey is a worry in this big field but should win Fallen Angel, is tracking well and is the evident danger Crowned Princess, is the one that can upset should at least place here

Tips: Bespoke, Fallen Angel, Upset: Crowned Princess,

Race 7: Star Treasure, should win here but has to beat the much improved Premier Connection, note him he can upset

Race 8: Beyond Stars, is a nice animal but running after a long break so is Dear Henry, plus both horses are drawn on the wide outside with a few speedy animal in the field it will be a big task for both of them good luck if any of the 2 win the latter is better in my opinion. however there are only 2 horses that can upset the duo 3-7-11. Silver Sands, has the best credentials can can upset along with Catalyst, who is better prepared here and has the credentials to win should place atleast

Tips: Silver Sands, Dear Henry, Upset: Catalyst,

Race 9: Glorious Miss, should easily win here as she is well over due from the rest Native Lady, whos faith will be decided in the ring can win too make note of Call To Arms, can place here at long odds as the owner always tries on big days a good odds

Tips: Glorious Miss, Native Lady, Upset: Call To Arms,

Race 10:First timer Arabica, has a benefit of a run Thats all. Rapidoh, is a speedy animal note her.

Race 11: THE CASINO ROYALE INDIAN 2000 GUINEAS (GR.1)

What a race this is if you can pick a winner here it would be great. I am a bit disappointed that the race is held so late and after 10 races the inside track will be in ruins and will clearly disadvantage the runner who would be coming from the inside it will pay to follow horses that like to gallop on the out side and secondly its sad not to see C Rajendra in this race its a shame to all the owners and trainers who have used him at their convience and in an all important race prefer to go with jockeys like Kharidi, Rawal,chisty and Alford.... its a sad demise of a legend in his own right.

1: Batista,: Finished

2: Beautiful Stranger, : has come up a lot has a tremendous turn of foot and if ridden well he will beat them all his draw wont suit his running style will need luck.

3: Berlusconi, : Hasn't been tracking well or been prepared for this race maybe something is wrong but the long mumbai straight will suit his style along with a strong rider can finish well if fit.

4: Camacho, : Lost to M Star and looked a bit under prepared needs more distance or a very fast pace and its likely to get it today can place but win is ??

5: Immense, : Most experienced and fittest animal of this set but this will be his 9 race in 9 months and 6th classic run needs some rest I would be very happy if he wins but don't like his chances.

6: Macchupicchu, : Almost caught napping last time is a good galloper and will be suited by the running of the race will be one of the main swoopers and should be right there.

7: Moon Star, : will be the pacemaker and will bring them in the home straight.

8: Ocean And Beyond, : Good animal, great jockey,inside draw with no initial speed and lack of run is not what you want is the horse to beat and should be beaten will only win on jockeys talent but looks a big task today.

9: Star Future, : good and improved animal but mile in this class is a bit out of Radar.

10: Star Warrior, : back from hydrebad drawn badly will need a lot of luck to win from there.

11: Starrer, : was beaten fair and square last run not in the same class as these horses but has a big heart and a strong rider.

12: Su Chaliyo, Impressive winner who has improved a lot and is very talented animal draw wont suit him but has good acceleration if luck is on his side.

13: Tender Romance, : In my opinion is the best animal in Pesi's care. was very immature in the last mumbai season but in his last run has shown he has matured a lot only problem is the jockey and draw he will run a good race and can upset.

14: Eloise, : only filly with a big heart ran a grand race last time it would be wonderful if she wins today as she deserves it.

Tips: Beautiful Stranger, Tender Romance,Macchupicchu, Upset: Camacho,

Race 12: Last race of the day if you are ahead go home... Highland Warrior, can win here from Hunter Bay, or Their Lil Sister, the latter is the one to beat and should win only if the first name is a non trier, Make note of the first named worth a eachway punt.
