Pune 31.08.2014

Race 1: Open race, there should be a gamble on Classy Dancer,  here and he should be the one to beat. Amaya, is the dark horse can upset.

Tips: Classy Dancer,                         Upset:  Amaya, 

Race 2: Gamble race best to avoid. Mr Morrison, Yardstick, and Sunshine Heart, are my shortlisted 3 expect a gamble on the first named.

Tips: Mr Morrison, Yardstick, Upset: Sunshine Heart,

Race 3: Interesting race as all the youngsters have a good future and will fight one another for honors. Captain Abdon, has the potential to win here provided he likes the track. Pepito, and Golden Lilly, have good form and should improve. Soul Centric, has come up a lot since last run and Simply Sweet, has been tracking well to so best to avoid the race or take a small chance bet on Captain Abdon. 

Tips: Captain Abdon, Pepito,            Upset: Simply Sweet,

Race 4: Surprising to see only 3 contenders for the Million. All 3 a well matched and can beat one another. The pace of the race will be the crucial decider and I give Flashing Chieftain, that edge due to the jockey.

Tips: Flashing Chieftain,

Race 5:A wide open race Adam, is a nice type but with the current form of the stable its hard to say he will run a good race and should finish in the money or atleast ahead of Caruso, There are some genuine horses in this race and it is more then likely that the winner will come from them. Horse like Ice Zone, Honest Pleasure,Brynhill, and Remember Me, have all had good runs this season and will improve a lot from that and old timers like Monza, and Set To Fly, are also improving and can upset so best to look for a value bet here.

Tips: Remember Me,Ice Zone,                 Upset: Brynhill, 

Race 6 : Mine Forever, on paper looks good but is not a sound animal and the current for of the trainer and jockey doesnot give any confidence. Blue Bay,  had good form in mumbai and was given a easy run first up should be in the fray here and will be right there.Supreme Minstrel, if tried is the dark horse.

Tips: Upset: Blue Bay,  Mine Forever    Upset:  Supreme Minstrel,

Race 7: Toss up Starry Eyes, and Circle Of Bliss, jockey skills will matter.

Tips: Starry Eyes,

Race 8: Once again a wide open race and luck will play a major role here Durer, drawn 14 of 15 horses and is not the soundest of animals will need a lot of luck, Dyna, is drawn 1 and will need a good jump or will lose any chance she has. The jockey is good in starting so may help but not worth the risk at these odds.Horses 4-5-6-8-9-10-12-13 are all in some form and have decent jockeys on them which makes this race the toughest of the day. Its best to look for value bets here and Targetmaster, who had a easy run first up and now tracking very well and the well bred Sindbaad, who is blazing the track. Stiletto, is the best of the fancied runners on jockey merit.

Tips: Sindbaad, Stiletto,                 Upset: Targetmaster,

Tips: Pune Warriors,    Upset: Mighty Splendor,

Race 2: Sailor, is very well prepared for this race if they are serious he will win. Janis Jay, has had a benefit of a good run and enjoys a good handicap advantage over Mint Approach, and should account for it. The worrying factor here is none of these 3 runners have won on this track. Set To Fly, is the only horse to have won here his form is well hidden and the jockey aboard today was on-board for his last win not sure of intent but wont be surprised if he upsets. I am going with Janis Jay, who has had a easy run first up in a lower class and the connections have opted to runner her in a higher class shows intent and confidence.

Tips: Janis Jay,             Upset: Set To Fly,

Race 3: The Myth, is running a handicap race for the first time her last run was very good and she should be the one to beat in this field of VB animals only negative factor is Yash has not won a race over a mile yet and that can be the undoing. Sandesh has accepted Morals, again and is a good judge of pace which should be very fast and he will be best suited. Zafirah, and Arzaan, are the horse that can upset the latter is ready to strike but not sure if he will be tried in this age group.

Race 4: A wide open race and atleast 7 runners have a fair chance. Set To Fly,Honest Pleasure, and Ice Zone, are my shortlisted 3. The first and last named are gamble horses so it will pay to observe there condition in the paddock. The second named runs best when fresh and will be right there. Antia has opted to run Ice Zone, in a higher class and the handicap at which the horse sits is very tempting. 

Tips: Ice Zone,Set To Fly,            Upset: Honest Pleasure,

Race 5: Bad race 3 yos over 9 furlong can be tricky best to avoid. King Glorieux, should run a good race and can upset.

Race 6: Open race and all horses  should dominate the finish. On Paper Dancing Phoenix, is a 6 furlong horse but being fresh and a good mock race he has a very good chance. Dancing Prances, same connection has a benefit of a run and a good jockey. Silver Streak, and Starry Eyes, are fresh and well prepared and will be in the fray. Supreme Star, can be ignored and can upset if the jockey can handle it. If you look at the quality of runners here the pace is going to very fast and that can only suit one horse Commander, who may find this trip a bit sharp but because of the fast pace he will be finishing the fastest can upset if given half a chance.

Tips: Dancing Prances, Dancing Phoenix,          Upset: Commander, 

Race 7: Zumi Zumi, Porto Banus,  and Flash Drive, are my short listed 3. All 3 are tracking very well and should run good races. The first named is a 3 yo in VB and considering that he has matched strides with Greek God in mumbai the horse has potential.

Tips: It's High Time, Light Of Arabia, 

Race 2: Open Offer, had a very easy run last time and should be the one to beat. Splendid Light, is the best of the lot but needs a long stretch run the pune straight will be his down fall. Brown Dynamite, is best on track but not sure of intent.

Tips: Dhishkyaon,               Upset: Admiral Gray,

Race 2: Pitbull, has come down considerably in class and loves this track will be the one to beat if the jockey can handle it. Alecto, is showing good track movements and if tried will be right there.

Tips: Pitbull,              Upset: Alecto,

Race 3: Lack of any track work on Sheer Class, creates a doubt of fitness for the horse. Like all of Pesis runners I think the horse is out for a run and is targeted for another day however he has the class over Victoria Falls, but not sure if that would be enough.

Tips: Victoria Falls,              Upset: Barringo,


Race 4: Sheer Lack of contenders and no track for Archimedes, who likes this track gives Zurich, a fair chance as he has run in better company. Keeping in mind that he is running after being gelded it will pay to avoid him today and skip the race.
