Bangalore 23rd June 2012

On Paper looks a favorite card but it will alway pay to go slow.

Race 1: Have no clue as to why Sumitomo, is the favorite here, I think the horses needs more distance. Maybe its because of the jockey but hard to recommend.Bold Nature, definitely looks a good each way bet if u look at the last run where he finished an unextended 5th which was is first run after being gelded, tracking well and positive change of jockey and equipment have been made only ??? is intent which is likely in this company.Mulligan, and Shivalik Beauty, are the jokers in the pack the second named can spring a surprise and the first named is a speedy type too has blinkers on and should be hitting the front.

Tips: 3) Bold Nature,                   Upset: Mulligan,

Race 2: Monreale, was an impressive winner last time and is likely to repeat but Savvy Concept, will keep her honest.

Tips: 1) Monreale,

Race 3: Very tricky gamble race best to leave alone.Zermatt, probably has the best credentials and the best performed of the lot however is a filly running in a span of 6 days hence her condition is a ?? should be the one to beat if fit best to avoid this race.

Tips: 5) Zermatt,

Race 4: If u look at the last run of Thunderbay, its easy to assume its a one horse race but if you look at it very closely his timing is nothing great and its possible that he was so far ahead because no one was interested in that race.the sectional of the last 600 mtrs  was 12.4-12.2-12.5 or 37 seconds hence that run was deceptive. Horses 1-2-3-6-7 are tracking very well and are likely to upset the favorite.Front Runner, and Haute Ecole, are best on track the second named has a benefit of a run and my pick. Green Bay, has come up a lot since he finished an easy 3rd last time with a good jockey will be the likely upset will certainly place and is the first named is a DUD can win too.

Tips:7)  Haute Ecole,        Upset: 2) Green Bay,

Race 5: The top 6 horses should dominate the finish.Smashing, is the one to beat. I was very disappointed with the run of Cardinal, he just dint have that spark and looked rusty however I am fairly confident that he will be the most improved of the lot and being a colt would have benefited a lot from that run, Expect a 5 length improvement from him today and smashing wont get it easy only negative is the distance but he can win.Make note of Swiss Don, who is tracking extremely well, maybe is not in this class but the point to mention that the connections have 1 Lakh 92 thousand as a penalty to run him here as a Final Entry with the 3rd place horse only getting 1.86 lakhs the connections must be fairly confident that the horse has improved a lot and will be in the Top 3 I personally think he can and looks a likely Upset.

Tips: 4) Smashing,1) Cardinal,      Upset: 2) Swiss Don,

Race 6: Hillfiger, if fit should win being a I Gotala Horse it will pay to see if money comes his way and decide I personaly stay away from his horses for that reason but if ridden om merit he will win.If former is not tried many horses can win horses 3-4-10 are the ones in question.Make note of Superb Style, is a Gamble horse and will pay to see the market trend on him and decide since this race is not a 5yo and over field its Unlikely hence watch the market and decide,

Tips: 1) Hillfiger,              Upset:10) Superb Style,

Race 7: Looks a straight fight between Lad Star, and Ashwa Shakti, once again the former is a Gamble horse and best to decide at race time the second named is a genuine animal and tracking very well will be the one to beat.

Tips:8)  Ashwa Shakti, 

Race 8: Ice Stone, ran in a good company but was struggling to finish on clearly dint stay the trip just about beat Trillion wind in that run so hard pick special with this jockey the only positive is that the field has more pretenders then contenders.All Clear, and Fantastic Star, are horses on the up and should run good races. Its best to leave the race but on jockey merit the first named should do well, the second named is a better animal and is intent is there will win.

Tips:8) All Clear,6) Fantastic Star,

Days Best:  Haute Ecole,All Clear,

Double:  Haute Ecole, Ashwa Shakti,All Clear,

Win or Kaichi Prospects: Haute Ecole, Ashwa Shakti, Monreale,Hillfiger, Zermatt,All Clear,

Eachway or Place Prospects: Bold Nature,Green Bay,

Bolt from the Blue: Swiss Don,
