Pune 19-8-2012

Race 1: Gamble race horses 3-4-5-6-8all have a chance to win if tried.Bat Yam, should have won in her last start in mumbai but was not tried not sure of intent today Twittillator, has a very good handicap and can take full advantage of it is better placed on handicap then the former.Lola, and Soli Deo Gloria, are dark horses both can upset is tried the second named is the best animal in the set but not sure of intent.

Tips: Twittillator,                                            Upset: Soli Deo Gloria,

Race 2: It will be a tragedy to see Stormy Princess, lose in this set but being a H Metha horse proceed with caution.

Tips: Stormy Princess,

Race 3: Toss up Star Of Gibraltar, Enlightenment, the second named is older but is better placed on handicap.

Tips": Enlightenment,

Race 4: Starsonboard, looks like a false favorite A Filly running in a span of 7 days is not going to be easy only advantage is there are not a lot of contenders here.Horses 5-8-9 should run well today.Gates Of Heaven, is H Metha best to decide at race time.Three Roses, is better then the favorite and will finish in that order. Make note of Taj E Shahi, here expect a gamble on her today and If I am right she will win.

Tips:(note) Taj E Shahi,Three Roses,

Race 5: This is a very open race but before i go there look at these stats: Pune 2011 race 57 half length behind Piccaso,Race 127 3rd sept 3.5 lengths behind Cardinal, Mumbai Dec 25th race 96 1.6 lengths behind Ramthambho, Previous Mumbai season race 127 beat Maddox by half length, and finished 3rd behind Pronto Pronto in the Colts trial stakes  4.5 lengths toady running in a Class 3 race???? Do u really think he belongs in this class I don't. I don't touch Antia and H Metha horses but If Secret Service, is tried today he will win. Knighton, had a good debut last year but been all down hill from there is tracking well but best to see how he runs,Etesian, has been prepared very well for this day and should be in the thick of things.


Tips:  Secret Service,                       Upset: Etesian, 

Race 6: If the intent is right Smart Strider, should win.

Tips: Smart Strider,

Race 7:Silver Birch, has done nothing wrong so far and should be the one to beat.   Neona looks very well prepared and should take full advantage of the wieghts, Make note of Supreme Minstrel, if there is a Upset then he will be the one.

Tips: Silver Birch,Upset: Supreme Minstrel, 

Race 8: Theology, was an impressive winner first up and should beat the rest of the fancied runners today however make note of Magdalena, who is blazing the track and can upset here.

Tips : Theology, Upset: Magdalena,

Race 9: Act Of War, and Admirals Stride, toss up latter is better. Fajr, is the joker in the pack and should be right there.

Tips: Admirals Stride,                    Upset: Fajr, 

Race 10: Worst race of the day and best to leave it. On paper and current form Purple Moon, looks a good bet but have no confidence in the connections intent plus the fact that there are some horses here that are running for the first time on this track and have never run sprints and it is very very likely they will sprout wings as the pace will be very fast. The horses in question are 1-2-4-10 all of them are running a distance that is very sharp but can win as they are all fresh.The reason i have mentioned 1)Victoire, here is because u very rarely see a N Lagad horse being tracing consistantly well he is.Alejandra, and  Tapococha, have good speed too and well bred so dont be surprised  Song Of Praise, has a H Metha jockey and loves this track can be his dusra.

Tips: Purple Moon,Alejandra,                 Upset: Victoire,

Win or Kaichi prospects: Stormy Princess,Smart Strider,Silver Birch,Theology,Admirals Stride, 

Eachway or Place Prospects: Enlightenment,Taj E Shahi,Secret Service,  Magdalena,Fajr,Alejandra, 

Bolt from the Blue: Victoire,
