Race 1: Lake Paradise, has to give weight all round which wont be easy for a filly that doesn't like to be whipped. Owner mate Star Mountain, is conceding 14kgs from her and Mon Ami, 9kgs after the impressive win on the last day of pune It wont be easy for the favorite.

Tips: Mon Ami,               Upset: Star Mountain,

Race 2:This race can go anyways Coccinella,was very impressive last time and will be the one to beat.

Tips: Forest Vision,Caruso, 

Race 4: Hamlet, has been prepared very well and should win from Perfect Strength,

Race 5: A wide open race and any horse can win. The pace of the race will be very fast and will suit horses that come off the pace.Horses 2-3-5-6-11-12 are the ones that can make the most of it.Amadeus, first run after being gelded so hard to say but if right will be right there,Ranthambhore, and Ancient Wonder, will both be finishing the fastest and should be the ones to beat. Weizhou, is the joker in the pack.

Tips: Ranthambhore,  Ancient Wonder,                 Upset: Amadeus, 

Race 6: THE GITANJALI INDIAN 1000 GUINEAS (GR.1)
1) Art Of Enchantment,: Impressive 2nd in bangalore and a good mock race on the 9th dec in mumbai will love the mumbai straight but with the traveling included it is a lot ask from her in a span of 22 days if she had little bit more time then it would be a different story so best to watch her run and decide her faith in Oaks.

2) Gold Glamour,: Most under rated horse in the field because of her moody behavior loves the long straight is one of the best gallopers in this set and if there is a upset she is the one.

3) Halle,: Has potential but lacks that class

4) Maple Star,: Filly with a big heart will be in the fight and has to worry about her stablemate if she is in a galloping mood.

5) Neona,: One pace animal with good potential the face that there will be a pacemaker in twilight here will help her settle better and  she will make the most of it is definitely the horse to beat.

6) Portia, Best jockey in the field who know how to time a good run will be in the thick of thinks if she wins here will be because of the jockey i think she just lacks that heart of a good horse.

7) Showin'off,: Nice animal with a good finishing gallop the run in Bangalore is best ignored as she dint like the conditions will love the long mumbai straight and will be finishing on can win if she is upto it will be onboard at worst.

8) Song Dynasty,Not here

9) Twilight, Pacemaker

10) Vijays Pride, : Beat Portia in the 1000g in bangalore hasn't done anything wrong so far but in her last impressive win she beat Centerstage (rated 45) by 2.5 lengths could have been 5. A clear indication that she is not improving with every run but just running and winning against mediocre horses beat Portia by only .5 lengths will be a different story today as she will be tested by some very good improved fillies.

Over all a open race and a upset is not ruled out Gold Glamour, and Showin'off, can do it.Neona, is definitely the one to beat.

Tips: Neona,Gold Glamour,             Upset: Showin'off,

Tips: Ishpingo,Daffodils,                          Upset: Neona,

Race 8: A very open race but two horses should dominate the finish the very well bred Edge Of Glory, who has been very well prepared for this day the wide draw is a worry but will be right there and Daughterofdestiny, who has run some great races on this track is well placed on handicap and will be hard to beat if she gets a good run.Love Supreme, is the joker in the pack tracking well and can upset her if the intent is right as she is inter connected with Edge Of Glory.

Race 1: Bad race to start the day. Many horses in with a fair chance if tried and its best to avoid this race. Horses 3-4-7-10-11 should be the ones to beat. Flashforward, is back to his winning handicap and jockey shows intent he is inter linked with Riding Onthe Storm, so if one is tried the other will be on a holiday.Al Zamarud, has a wide draw which wont help as he like to hit the front and that will take a lot out of him. Machala, has had a positive change in jockey and is at a very good handicap should run a improved race. Sound Of River, is the joker in the pack I don't think he will be tried here as the distance is too sharp and negative shoe change however is the best on track can sneak in a place.

Tips: Act Of War,                            Upset: Hercules,

Race 6: Smashing, is making a come back after a long break if she is fit she will win but its best to avoid her this run.Onassis, was the winner of this race last year looks fit and ready to repeat. Star Marquess, runs best when fresh and can upset here.
