THE MCDOWELL INDIAN DERBY (GRADE 1)

Honestly if I pick a single winner today I will consider myself lucky.People who read this bolg and follow me must have understood by now that I like to think outside the square.everyone can tip favorite but I take more interest in who can beat the favorite. Todays selections will be mailny based on that principle and I hope that it works for all of us.

Race 1: 7. NEEDFORSPEED is the favorite and with no false rails today will be right in the money but its important to understand the horse is a madain and has always been taught how to lose so today is the first time he will ne taught how to win and I hope he is a good learner. My pick is 4. MODESTY who has been consistant enough to win today from 11. LATEST NEWS and 12. SARA JAHAN who will be finishing late today and has been prepared for today.

Race 2: 6. PERSONIFIED has beaten 8. CHARDIN and is on level terms again but the latter has improved a lot since then and will get the better of the former the horse to beat is 1. FANTASTIC FURY

Race 3: If P S Chauhan has figured out the right way to handle 1. WHISKEY BANDIT the race is over if not 7. URBAN WARRIOR will trouble him.

Race 4: This is sprint for the line race 7. DYNAMIC CAT has the credentials but track moments suggest that she is not a sound horse so its best to leave her alone.10. GREEN VALLEY is my pick to win from 6. CASUAL LOOK who has been very well prepared. Upset 4. LIGHTNING BOLT

Race 5: The terms of this race suits 5. BEYOND BELIEF and should be right there but I am very careful when he rides with Ramu,s horses in contention. If you are looking for an outsider back 8. SAMARKHAND as a eachway bet will be right there
Tips: 5. BEYOND BELIEF /Smanarkhand/R Snow

Race 6: 3yr 14. KIARA will play second fiddle again 15. MONOPOLY was very impressive first up and is my frist pick to win from 2. JUVENTUS who has been tracking extremly well and is worth a each way bet

Race 7: The Derby:
1. BOURBON KING : If he wins toady which he should he will break the Jinx of the first horse to win the Ramnivas Ramnaryan Trophy and the derby which I believe has not been achived by any one. I have been reading a lot on The King of can he stay of cant he I honestly believe it doesnot matter he has a Big Heart and will stay as there are not enought pace makers to trouble him or unsettle him. But can he break the Jinx and will luck be in his favr is the Big ??

2. CZAR ALEXANDER there has been a lot of speculation on his last run but I know Pesi and Malesh are smarter then what we see. His true potential was tested in the last run and since then has been tracking well and is being taught to settle early hence is a live treat and will look the king in the eye today.

3. DA VINCI Good luck

4. EARL OF WARWICK Good luck

5. HOTSTEPPER Will be the top contenders but at best can fill the frame

6. MASEEHA not here

7. MONTALVO not here

8. MOUNTAIN BEAR : He is the one horse that can never be discounted has a big heart will stay,the draw will suit him as he like t cover the leaders from the outside has been tracking to win and not to pace the race and has all in his favor today to win the derby.

9. NITROUS : has run lenghts behind the king in a mile has improved a lot since the will stay the distance and will make the pace too and in my opinion is the Upset horse if the others are caught napping or under estimate him

10. NOBLE PRINCE : lack of Experience will be the factor that will be the difference between winning and losing for this very talented horse

11. REGAL CONNECTION : he is the only out station horse that is in with a very good chance but I am not a big fan of Alford in big races but wont be surprised if he pulls it off

12. RETRIBUTION lucky winner but not again in this small break

13. VANQUISH not here

14. WESTERN COMMAND : will run a brave race today as he will love the extra distance and the mumbai straight Good luck

15. CITY TAMER : if she has recoverd well after the oaks she should run well

16. GOBELIN : was finishing on very well in the oaks if she has recovered she will be right there todays pace will suit he and if you like her chances not hesitate to make a small place bet.

17. PENINSULA was the fastest finishing in such a slow race is the best of the fillies and is the one filly can give B Chinoy a well deserved double

18. RUBY QUEEN not here

19. SWEEPING SUCCESS Best filly in this set but noy here specially with praksh.

Finally My top 5 are 1) M Bear 2) B King 3) C Alexander 4) Peninsula 5 ) NITROUS.

i AM GOING TO BACK 3 horses eachway M Bear/Nitrous/Penensula

Race 8: 11. AVEC PLAISIR doesnot belong in this class should win today from 12. LAHINCH is the only danger

Race 9: Bunch of donkeys here 1. GOLDEN ORRA is the best of the lot and should win from 12. GRACIAS SENORITA who is tracking well and the equipment change is in her favor.

Days best: W Bandit
Treble:W Bandit/Modesty/C Look

Eachway bets: Modesty/samarkhand/Juventas/A Pasier/M Bear /F Fury/G Senorita

Upset of the Day: PARIS HILTON / NATIVE STRATEGY

Good luck all and ope you have a win.

Mumbai 2 Feb 08

Race 1: The pace of this race will decide the winner any which way 3. SPIRITUAL FLAME has the best credentials but belongs to a gambling stable hence if money comes her way she will account for it.5. FREDERICIA is the one to beat with malesh in the sadle today who is a very good judge of pace and if he makes the pace of this race he will be right there at the finish.

Tips: S Flame/Fedrecia

Race 2:3. ASCLEPIEION has improved a lot and should win again however the task ahead will not be as easy as it was last time 4. FANTASY LAKE has been prepared very well will keep her honest along with 6. SECRET PILGRIM who has been tracking extremly well for a long time and will relish the mumbai straight.

Tips:Asclepeiion/F Lake upset S Pilgrim

Race 3: bad race with abunch of average horses wont be surprised if a firstimer wins 6. DESERT SAFARI has been well prepared and is worth a eachway bet

Race 4: Hopefully no sad stories for 2. ENCELADUS today should win.

Race 5: good luck if you pick a winner here STAR OF CHINA has the credential to win here from 15. PRESENT GLORY but there will be a lot of swoopers in this race and I am going to have small eachway punt on 2. PONYTA and 1. GENERALISSIMO

Race 6: Vale of Leven is a first timer and best left alone 6. MASTER PLANNER has the merits to win here but will have to beat the far improved 4. SANGOMA

Race 7: 1. AUTONOMY shuld fight it out with 10. NORA for spremacy4. THUNDERING HOOVES isa dark horse that has to be included in jackpot and wrt a small eachway bet at higer odds

Race 8: 5. RISING EMPEROR should win today from 3. BRIDGE TOO FAR .6. TE QUIERO should be considered for a place and jackpot.

UPSET OF THE DAY : APPRECIATE

Good Luck All

Mumbai 24 Jan

Race 1: On Paper CALLING THE SHOTS cant lose but the Jinx of Lagads favorites not winning has made me look at possiblities and only one horse stands a practical chance PUERTO CABELLO who has run in superior company... has been on track and is being prepared by a work jockey has drawn my attention hence is worth a eachway bet and is my pick to beat the favorite if you like the favorite he is certainly worth a bet but it will pay to halve your bets or hedge against the latter.

Race 2: This race is a very tricky one with a lot of gamble horses and a few of them have been prepared well 7. BLACK HUSSAR should tackle 5. TRUE ELEGANCE and 1. SOLID BLACK with ease but the 2 dark horses that need attention are 10. NORTHERN PRINCE who in my opinion if the stables money comes his way will win and 8. DESERT BLUE who I believe has a very realistic chance too provided he is asked to do so.
the winner should come from theses 3 you pick after watching the betting market I am going to make a small eachway bet on D Blue

Race 3: Firstimers hence no comment but SECRET ADMIRER will run a improved race today and is worth watching but it is good timing to run 12. ROHANS GLORY a day before Rohan's Birthday Good Luck.

Race 4: 1. STAR GESTURE has a chance but drop in distance and drawn 3 are not going to make it easy for her to get into a striking position early hence is best left alone. The hroses I think will be involved in the finish from the word go are 5. NASEEBDAR and 3. GATRAVAT with the latter havein a slight edge.

Race 5:First Timer

Race 6: 1. ROCKEFELLER has been prepared for this race and will win 5. FIDDLERS FERRY and 9. NOTABLE RUNNER might create a flutter but will be highly unlikely

Race 7: Only the pace of the race will be the difference between winning and losing for 1. STAR LUMINARY the slower the pace the worst off he will be as he will have to give the 10kgs to the field for that much longer the jockey is ecperienced enough to make his own pace if not 2. SILVER TERN will win.

Race 8: 11. PHI is long over due for a win and should win here from 2. SIMPLY PERFECT how doesnot belong in this set and 6. RAGE OF ANGELS .

Over all a day of many gambles that can go eitherway so hold all bets till the last 5 mts.

Days Best: R Fella
Double: R Fella/N Prince
Treble: R Fella/N Prince/Phi

Upset of the Day:DESERT BLUE

Mumbai THE HDIL INDIAN OAKS (GRADE 1)

Very tough card today and luck will play a major role between winning and losing.Take care and look for value bets.

Race 1: 5. IKARIA deserves merit but is a one paced horse hence can be beaten so it will pay to make a conservative bet.8. WESTERN CHALLENGE and 2. AGIOS NIKOLAOS are tracking well and are of unknown quantity who can upset here.

Race 2: Open race PREMIER QUEEN who will be in a different light today with blinkers drawn on the inside and no False rails and the drop in wieght are all in her favor hence is my pick to win from MAZAN who has been prepared with this race in sight and will be right there along with 4. QUEENS COURT .

Race 3: CHARDIN is running at wrong odds and is definately not worth a bet up in distance carrying 60 kgs and giving P beach 6 kgs is not looking good her trackwork is the only positive if she wins goodluck but I will go for 4. PEBBLE BEACH on handicap to win from 1. CHARDIN or 2. FLASHING FLAME

Race 4:Bad race This is a dash for cash sprint and anyone can win 7. TANTRIK deserves a small eachway bet to win from 10. STAR GIRL who is a dark horse.

Race 5: Too many first timers hence no comment

Race 6: 2. EVATINA has been prepared with this race in mind and will be right there however she has to beat 3. ADAM`S STAR who is alway a danger today with the right jockey can raise a few eyebrows.

Race 7: The Oaks this year is one of the toughest Oaks I have seen in at least 20 years the reason is simple women are never pridictable and the quality of this field is equally matched at the end of the day any of the 14 horses can win so If pick a winner here Good luck.

1. ALVARITA : alway been a contender has finished 3 lght behind B King in the bangalore derby.her staying the trip is always a question mark and along with her health problems hence it is tough to pick her but I know if she is sound she will win and if she does Good luck.

2. CITY TAMER : ran a 10 flg race start to finish and won well has improved a lot is well rested will be one of the main contenders today but I am not to sure if she is upto this class.at best can finish on board.

3. DOMINATRIX : is the contreversial horse in this set ran a brave race behind C Tamer today with the right assistance should get the better of the former and can creat a flutter

4. GOBELIN : Won the Pune dery well ran a good race in the 1000 gunise without a benifit of a run will stay all day and has a big heart will surely be involved in the finish and is my pick to be in the top 4.

5. IVANKA interesting entrant and good luck if she win but looks well held by the others

6. LIVORNO won well last time but dont think she will stay the trip prefer others

7. MATHEMATICA has been prepared with this race in mind but the distance looks beyound the compass. will be one of the main contenders but at best can fill the frame.

8. OBELINNA pacemaker

9. PENINSULA is one of the main contenders and will be right there the ouside draw is not in her favor. but will be right there make note.

10. RECOLLECTION pace maker

11. SEILLANS : will make the pace well and lead them into the straight at best but can she stay is a big ??

12. SPIRITUAL FLAME will run well but not uptothis class

13. SWEEPING SUCCESS has beaten one of the best horses in western india (Astrea) will have no problem in staying the distance and is drawn well and has one of the best jockeys going around the only negetive one of the major factors for he win the 1000g was she was the most experince horse in the field today the horses that ran behind her have 800 meteres morse to travel and have to improve by approx 6 lenghts to beat her and the way some of them have been prepared she will not have it easy today but should be in the top 4 at worst.

14. YANA : did not have the luck of the race last time was move well enough to catch the eye has been well prepared and should stay.If all goes well for her today she will be right there at the wire and is my first pick to win the Fillies Derby.

Tips: 1Yana,2 Goblin,3 S Sucess, 4 Peninsula Upset: Dominatrix

Race 8: 3. OASIS STAR and 7. AVEC PLAISIR will fight till the end and it will be a toss up I am giving 7. AVEC PLAISIR a slight edge over the favorite as I believe the distance will suit her better and the draw is ni her favor too but it will be a close call... PREMIER PERCEPTION is the dark horse who can swoop on this set

Race 9: this race has many unsound horses 1. ORIENTAL JEWEL who seems to have a problem with his legs is the favorite on his first run and its hard to back such horses and are best left alone.I am going to take a small punt on 8. VARUN who can strike anytime to win from 7. HABIT and 6. QUAOAR

Days best: Yana
Treble:Yana/P Beach/A Pasier
Horses worth a eachway bet: Mazan/Tantrick/A Star/Yana/varun

Race 2: 2 ROCAMORA should fight it out with 6 SOUTH PARADE

Race 3: too many first timers

Race 4: 4 FEELFREE has everything in his favor today and should win hands down provided the connections give a green light... worth a good eachway bet from 1 CLASSICAL DANCER who seem to be the only danger.

Race 5: 2 PASTICHE should win expect some resistance from 7 LAGUNA BLUE

Race 6: 1. EASY is not a sound horse and the wieght can be the undoing best not to back 2. FACTION LEADER is the dark horse here and is worth a small eachway punt

Mumbai 17 Jan

Race 1: bad race full of unsound and unpredictable horses best left alone but if 3. DESTINED PRINCE behaves himself at the gates he will win from 6. MUBARRAS .

Tips: 1) D Prince 2) Mubarras



Race 2: 6. DREAMING will win in this set from 3. TAANUSH the pace of this race can see an upset from FIERY FORTUNE



Race3: Bad race a sprint for VB horses and antone can win my pick 6. ARABIAN SPEED to win from 3. SIROCO who might find it sharp anyone can surprise here best left alone watch the market for 10. MUSTANG SALLY who is overdue for a win



Race 4: first timers hence no comments but 1. ANGELS GLORY is an average horse and is not woth the odds....make note of 5. LA JOIE DE VIE whos trackwork and breeding suggest she will be rightthere at the finish.



Race 5: This is the toughest race of the day 7. PARTY CELEBRATION is long overdue for a win belongs to a gambling stable watch the market closely and decide 10. MYSTERIOUS STAR will be right there at the finish and 11. MEJESTICAL who is a far improved horse his run in the 2000 gunies was amazing his track workouts also suggest he is ready to strike now its upto the connections to give him a green signal.
Tips: Mejestical , P Celebration ,M Star Upset:3 WILD TEMPER



Race 6:6. PRINCE LOCHINVA has been trusted to the stable jockey if he holds his nerve he will be hard to beat....3. KA CHING is a dark horse that belongs to a gambling stable if given the rein today can surprise keep a close eye in the ring ....2. MICKEY MANTLE has had a class to class penalty which will be his downfall.
Tips: P Lochinva Upset :: Ka Ching

Race 7: should be a straight fight between 2. JAZZEGO and 3. PURE DEVOTION latter has a slight edge 5. MULTICULTURAL has the potential but has not been on the track or has got no recorded trackwork which puts his fitness as a ??? if he wins the good luck but is not worth the risk. 1. ENCOURAGEMENT is the dark horse.

Days Best: Dreaming

Nitco Million

Race 1: bad race with a lot of unsound horses running 7. LATEST NEWS can upset this set from 8. HYMN`S ANGEL and 3. RAVE ON

Race 2: 3. MONTALVO is traveling the distance of 2400 for the first time although the company is weak there are proven stayers in this set and 1. DREAMING is certainly the one that can stay all day hence is my pick to win here .....

Race 3: The fact that the connections of 5. ALVIDA have decided to take no chances of the handicap and opted for a low wieght jockey instead of malesh who has been working the horse means that they are not confident for the horse and want to take full advantage of the scales so there are no more failures on her today the favorite will be right there but it will pay to halve your bet on him as 1. TOTALITARIAN can beat him even at this handicap.

Race 4: Bad race 1. ESOTERIC will relish the mumbai straight in this sprint but the distance is a bit short..7. GREEN VALLEY has good chance too if the jockey can handle the race... leave this race anyone can win

Race 5: First timers

Race 6: 7. INSPIRING TRUST manner of victory was amazing and is my pick to win here from 1. AUTONOMY

Race 2: The flow of mone will decided the outcome of this race it will pay to closely watch the market here...1. TAKE ON is my pick to win from 2. DANCING BRIDE who is the horse of class and if she takes a level jump it will be an interesting finish but best is to decide in the ring or leave this race.

Rcae 3: Another gamble race which has a very open look best is to leave...5. KNIGHT if in the money will run well and be there at the finish from .10. SIMPLY PERFECT ...make a note of 2.

Race 6: 2yo left alone but make note of 2. CLASSIC RULER who has been tracking extremly well and will be the one to beat.

Race 7: THE RAMNIWAS RAMNARAIN RUIA GOLD CUP (GRADE-2)
1. BOURBON KING : Running in the same field he has beaten well only negitive is todays field and there connections know that he is only about 4 lenghts superior to there horses namely C Alex and Hotstepper who were finishing on him if either of the two get his measure he can lose.
2. CZAR ALEXANDER : will relish the extra 2 flngs and the benifit of a good run will be right there at the finish will place at best.
3. HOTSTEPPER finished very well in the 2k guienise and if he stays today he will look the king in the eye and cause a upset.
4. PERPETUITY : needs time
5. REGAL REFORM will struggle to even be the pacemaker
6. SOUTHERN CHARGE first run on the course will find it tough...... maybe the derby
7. OBELINNA has been entered as a pacemaker but trackwork suggest she has improved a lot since her last run if she is suited by the pace she will create a flutter.
Tips: H Stepper, B King , C Alexander UPSET : Obelinna

Race 8: judging by the preparation 4. MICKEY MANTLE should win in this set with ease and is my best bet for the day.... if for some reason she fails then 1. BLACK DAHLIA will pick it up.

Race 7: VB race over 2000 mts means a death trap.... my pick is 8. HOUSE PREFECT who will improve with distance and 14. TARAS BULBA who is carrying nothing on his back make note of the latter he will run a good race today.

Todays card will spring many surprises so its woth making a full use of it look for value today.

Race 1: The top 3 horses in this race are interlinked to each other which makes it tricky on which of the 3 will be tried. If all 3 ran on merits then VERY BONAFIDE is definatly the better of the 3. ADALLIA has her first run today her track moments are too good for her to be in this class being a first runt its hard to say realy how good this filly is hence from a punting point of viw I would leave this race as one can be easily burnt here.Tips: ADALLIA , VERY BONAFIDE Upset DA VINCI

Race 2: 9. CHARDIN has only one thing in his favor today and thats wieght... being a very average horse he doesnot look a sure shot. If 3. TIGRESSE NOIRE takes alevel jump today she will win. she has been well rested and well prepared and will be the one to beat. from 8. EAGLE MOUNTAIN Tips: T Noire, E Mountain, Upset F Flame

Race 3: 2. PREMIER DIVA has all the chance to win in this very weak set from HISHAM who is a surprise packet and cant ignored.Tips: P Dive, Hisham

Race 4: Bad Race best left alone My fancies are 2. JAZZEGO from 8. BEAUTIFUL EYES and 3. TE QUIERO

Race 5: 5. RED INDIAN deserves to be a favorite but not at such short odds as is running in a very open and competitive set of horses it would pay to halve your bets on the favorite as he can lose. My first pick is FREDERICIA who is a smarter horse then what the records show and can topple this field from 5. RED INDIAN ...2. FANTASTIC FURY is the dark horse.

Race 6: If on job 3. STAR GESTURE will win watch the market second best 9. PURE DEVOTION can make a race out of it.

Race 7: 2yo first timers

Race 8: 9. FLAMES OF FIRE has a the credentials to beat the favorite here and is me first pick to beat 6. ENCELADUS who I believe needs a a forlong more but will be a close call halve the bets if you prefer the favorite.IN saying this if the former is not on job the favorite will have it easy.

Race 9: tough race 7. STRAWBERRY FIELDS is my first pick to win from 3. BEYOND BELIEF .

race 10: Bad race but 6. HOWLING WOLF can not be ignored and is worth a small eacway punt.Honestly todays card will be decided in the ring as the faith of many horses will depend on who is on job hence

I would reccomend to watch betting in the riong very closely and then make your bet.

Days Best: Tigress Noir

Double: T Noir,P Diva

Treble:T Noire/P Diva/S Field.

UPSET OF THE DAY: BINEE

Sunday, December 16, 2007

Race 1: I am always vary when N Lagad doesnot race his horses for more then 30 days 4. PRINCE LOCHINVA is one of them... running after more the 3 months is the only worry here but track moments suggest that the horse is fit but still at these odds be careful or halve your bets.. He has matched strides with much better horses and if all is well should win. The horse I believ who will be right there at the finish is 3. LIGHT MY FIRE who is my worth an eachway punt at higher odds.1. KINGDOM OF LOVE is in the fight but has to beat the above two which looks tough.

Race 2: bad race I do like 5. REFUSE TO BEND but the change in equipment ahs put some doubt in my mind however if there is money on him he will win. The outside draw will suit 1. VIJAYI BHAVA and if the former is not on job will earn a bracket today from 4. ENCOURAGEMENT who will be right there.

Race 3: 2yr olds first run let the best horse win.6 HI DOLLY will run a much improved race today.

Race 4: 6. PREMIER QUEEN is blazing the track and is my first pick to win from 1. CALLING THE SHOTS . A horse that can cause a form of upset in this set is 7. XIAMEN make note.

Race 5: Another 2yo race with many first timers 7. AURORA AUREALIS has a good chance but at these odds its not worth the risk. In my opinion 8. POMME DE TERRE is better then the former and should beat the favorite.

Race 6: Very tough race to predict a winner but going by track moments 7. MYSTERIOUS STAR merits a lot of attention to win from 6. PILLATUS whi is a moody horse that does not belong in this class the mumbai straight gives him a very good chance to perform today and if he puts his best foot forward the race is over.8. PERSONIFIED has done nothing wrong so far but is running in a very tough set today and at best will fill the frame.

Race 7:1. ALVIDA : Needs more merit then he is getting Drawn 6 today and has been tracking well enough to run a much improved race. At best can Place.
2: 2. BOURBON KING has made a mockery of the opposition so far, Today drawn 2 in a field that has more contenders then pace makers can be his only undoing. Has a big heart but will have to outwit the swoopers from the outside.
3:3. CAIRNDHU tracking well, Only unbeaten/unextended horse in this field. Drawn 1 and with luck in the bend will be there to cause a Major Upset.
4:4. CZAR ALEXANDER who is a classic hopeful has everything in his favor today except the jockey.Drawn on the outside will help him settle early and will love the final spurt in the straight to collar the field. Will be right there.
5:5. GIOCOMETTI pacemaker6:
6. HOTSTEPPER always a contender but recent form suggest that he has a big task in front of him.7:
7. MEJESTICAL Pacemaker
8: 8. PERPETUITY Good horse wrong race to be considered in.
9: 9. THE HURRICANE Will be in the top 4. Drawn 3 is the only problem. If settled early he will storm the field. A much improved horse and worth a good eachway bet.
10:10. ASTRAEA If she has recovered from last weeks run she will give these colts a run for their money. Everything is in her favor today and if her fitness is good she will win.
Top 4: The Hurricane,Astrea,B King, Alvida. Upset : Cairndu

Race 8: Bad race 10. COTSWOLD ARMS is nicely placed on handicap to win here but will have to beat 1. NANJING and 2. DESERT DUST the latter has had a very good run first up and has been tracking expremely well worth a eachway bet.Race

9: 10. GREEN VALLEY deserves to win today the dark horse is 2. TOUCH THE SKY
days best: Premier Quuen
Double: P Queen/C Arms
Treble: P Queen/C Arms/G Valley
Eachway bets:L My Fire/V bhaye/T Hurricane
UPSET OF THE DAY: SEILLANS
All the best and have a win today.

Race 1: A bad race which the market should decide the out come. 3. AGLITTER is my first pick to win from 4. FIREY BUSINESS who is looking well prepared on track workouts.

Race 2: 6. PASTICHE today is running with genuine sprinters of this class the one that can trouble the favorite is 1. ARMAMENT who can topple the favorite make note.

Race 3: Very Open race. My first pick is 8. ORO NEIRO to win from 6. AUCHINLECH who is a unsound horse but has the class to win anytime.7. INDIAN ARCELOR is the dark horse and need to take a level jump to be in the money.

Race 4: 3. DARKTAN is my first pick to win here from 11. SILVER CREST who is at the right handicap to strike and is tracking well watch the market.

Race 5: 2 Yr old leave alone 3. MARK OF GIBRALTAR is is first run and this set of horses have some depth in them so the favorite wont get it easy and is not worth a punt at these low odds. Another negitive is that the favorite has been over worked might go against him.6. STAR SCEPTRE is the one to watch make note.

Race 6: Another bad race with many horse in contention but if 4. BASTIAN BAY is tried in thsi set he will win from 12. FULL STEELE who is tracking well and should run a good race at this handicap

Race 7: 5. DOUBLE EMERGE is my first pick to win from 6. MILFORD who is running in the right class today. the Dark horse in this et is 8. ZAFAR .

Very bad race for punters today as many horses will be in the fight so it will pay to watch the market moversGood luck

Thursday, December 13, 2007

Race 1: 1. PEBBLE BEACH is a far superior horse considering that he has matched strides with much better horses is my first pick from 2. DOUBLE EASE who is tracking very nicely.

Race 2: 5. COMBUSTION is not a sound horse and this the only reason why she is running in this weak set if all goes well today she should win from 7. SIMPLY PERFECT who will only put his best foot forward if there is money his way.

Race 3: Bad race as no genuiene horses in this set.My pick is 4. BINEE who needs to take a level jump from 6. CINDERELLA MAN but leave this race any donkey and win here ....Watch the market on 9. NORTHERN PRINCE he is ready to strike even with this jockey.

Race 4: Very open race anyone can win in this sprint to the wire...if there is money on 5. KING`S DESIRE he will be right there and is my first pick to win from 1. PONYTA ...Very open race leave alone.

Race 5: On track movements 1. ENCELADUS will be hard to beat from 3. HAIFA VICTORY

Race 6: Bad race again my pick is 1. EXPENSIVE AFFAIR from 2. RISING WARRIOR

Race 7: 7. PACIFIC ZONE should win in this set from 11. COCAINE

Too many sprints and medicore horses running today go slow
