Bangalore 14th July 2012

A very Open and tough card however it is Likely the World Cup will be Shared by the Narredu Family i.e The Bowling, Batting and Fielding Trophy's. Trainer B Prithviraj also has some good runners. Paddu-Sandesh Combo is also good to Follow as all horses represent Value.


Race 1: Looking at the field its looks like only 1-4-9 are contenders. Athletic Star, has run amongst some good animals and should Prevail par mishap.


Tips: 4) Athletic Star, 


Race 2: Youngsters but should be limited to a few horses.2-5-6-8-9 should dominate the finish. The well bred Haute Ecole, was not that impressive in his mock race and does not appeal based on that.Street Of Fire, is running first up but tracking well.La Jawaab, had a forward run and has a positive change in jockey and equipment should run a better race.Mzima, is tracking very well but distance looks sharp however company is weak hence can prevail but will have to beat Igah Igah Igah, who has had 2 easy runs this season and looks well placed in this set.


Tips: 6) Igah Igah Igah,9) Mzima,(Toss Up)


Race 3: A Gamble race my short listed 4 are 1-2-5-9. Royal Admiral, looks better then Abarth, but is a Gamble horse so best to decide in the ring. Sayyonee, has been consistent this season and if intent is right should prevail.Make note of Sound, don't worry about the jockey is sound is the horse that can beat them all his last Spurt was very good and I have a gut feeling he will be tried today. Represents Good Value and is definitely worth a EW punt.


Tips:  5)Sound, 1)Royal Admiral,(Gamble horse)


Race 4: Open race, On paper No Doubt, has a very good chance but with an inside draw and 15 horses I am not comfortable with this jockey who seems to struggle when drawn on the inside in a big field, if he can handle it the horse should win.Lad Star, has also done very well and the jockey knows how to win when the right money is on the horse should be the one to beat. Loveatfirstsight, has lost her way but the jockey gives her that edge and if she is in the galloping mood the race is over, I am not a big fan of Un Genuine horses but if you like her just be cautious or halve your bets.Mountain Glory, is the joker in the pack ran a good race first up, Intent is unknown however as per his last spurt he can upset if tried should place at good odds.


Tips:6) Lad Star,  (Gamble horse)               Upset: 13) Mountain Glory, 


Race 5: At this handicap Active Grey, can only lose on Jockey merit. Raphire, should place on default.


Tips: 10) Active Grey,                   Upset: 3) Raphire,


Race 6: This is a very interesting race with some very well bred animals in the fray. Amitayus,Saltoftheearth, and Unforgettable, have run some good races but still maidens and should be in the money however horses 3-4-6-8 are the ones that can show much improvement after their respective runs. Caesars Star, is my follow horse is very well bred his Sire Sir Percy won the Epsom derby and with the sysyematic preparation and the last in mind I  think he is the horse they all have to beat.Shivalik Power, had a easy run first up and should run a good race too. Excellent Design, is also well bred and is the joker in the pack was moving very well despite no assistance from the Jockey due to a saddle slip and if the right intent is shown he can Upset.


Tips: 3) Caesars Star,                Upset: 7) Excellent Design, 


Race 7: This race will have a interesting finish Hills And Stars, is tracking well and race ready now had a easy run first up but should get the better of Volterra, who lost thanks to the rider last time but since has had very light work suggest something is wrong. There can be a upset here due to the uncertainty of the above two. Midtown Magic, and Forever Glory, the second named is live danger to one and all well rested well prepared and can Upset note her.


Tips: 7) Hills And Stars, Upset:5) Forever Glory, 


Race 8: One of the toughest races of the day and any horse can win as there seem to be at least 10 horses with a fair chance and best to avoid such races or look for a value eachway or place bet.Horses 8-9-13-14 represent Value.Connections of Red Bishop,  have opted to run him in a higher class after a failed coup says a lot he is now tracking well and should be right there. North Cape,  is the Joker in the Pack and if intended can make it a start to finish affair note for a Major upset.


Tips: Red Bishop,                         Upset: North Cape, 


Race 9: Another Open race and anybody can win, Best to look for Value eachway bets. Horses 5 and 8 represent Value. Chronicle, has the right Jockey and will run a Good race, Decorated, is running amongst his peers for the first time this season and has the right Jockey too has a advantage over the first named because of the Jockey and should be in the thick of things.


Tips: Decorated,           Upset: Chronicle,
