Boxing Day Races-Analysis and Selections

Hello Friends, 
                    The city of joy as it is the norm will play host to a card of 9 races on Boxing Day,needless to say the excitement of a new year around the corner is highly palpable..... Coming back to us railbirds I hope the afternoon ahead is both exciting and prosperous. Here is my bit of analysis and selections followed by my investment plans...... 

Race 1:A class V race over 1100 mts 

NOTE:No Whips are allowed in this race 

Kremlin comes into this race with a switch in jockey and a positive switch in shoes,this horse is bred well for speed and is having its second run on demotion 

Though Sunshine Dancer appeals well for some reason I guess that both Chuundu and I Me Myself are the two horses that will have a big say in this race 

Although the scales are now in favour of the latter,I believe that Chhundu who has the right form and a very decent last run where it was interfered would fare well here and may possibly score,my personal fancy 

My Choice:#2 Chhundu Win 

RACE 2:A class V race over 1100 mts 

NOTE:No Whips Allowed 

This race looks wide open with half the field seemingly in with a chance. 

Ambicka,Sweet Suspense and Don Magnifico are the three horses that had attracted me on first glance 

However I believe that The Great Hannible who had put in a good show over the same trip in the higher class now stands a good chance to shed its maiden status,an e/w personal fancy 

My Choice:#2 The Great Hannible Win/Place 

Race 3:A class III race over 1100 mts 

With three top flight travelling jockeys doing duty in this race,this race wears an open look. 

Dancehall Days appeals of the three as it has been in some good form before going into a minor slump,the jockey is having a great time and his confidence will add to its advantage 

Sokudo has a run benifit this season and gets the same jockey again which is obviously a good sign,can hope to fare well here 

Fire Falcon showed a glimpse of hope in its last run,now on back of that run it is not too much of a task to improve here and has a fair chance to score here 

The presence of a lone youngster and also another horse called Bucharest makes this race very interesting 

Bucharest is getting a positive switch in jockey and has done well in the upper class too,even though it is carrying top weight I'm inclined to go with this horse as I feel this horse can run a bold race 

My Choice:#1 Bucharest Win/Place 

RACE 4:For 2 yo Maidens only over 1400 mts 

Pedigree and preperation are the two possible pointers in picking a horse for a race of this sort 

Astral Dancer from the Manverdra Singh yard fulfils both the categories as far as I am concerned,thus is my personal fancy for this race 

My Choice:#11 Astral Dancer Win 

RACE 5:A class II race over 1400 mts 

El CID which is sitting at the bottom if the scales and also being a youngster is the horse that all should be wary of in this race

Of the other horses although there are the likes of Kwan Yin and Scuderia who are all capable of doing well 

The two last start winners in Altanza and Meekathara are the ones that appeal the most to me 

Meekathara being an youngster gets my vote of the two and I hope that he completes a hat-trick 

My Choice:#1 Meekathara Win 

Race 6:A race for class III horses over 1400 mts 

There are three youngsters in the fray with good jockies doing duty on them and naturally the spotlight is on them 

They are Dakota Dreamer,Solitary Eagle and Marilyn. The last named has been a great disappointment given its pedigree 

Of the other two Dakota Dreamer who is a winner in the same class appeals and is a top contender in this race 

In my opinion they all have to be wary of Self Directed,this horse is running now on demotion and has placed in a class II race in its last but one run and is tracking decently with well acclaimed horses,being a horse from top stables I guess worth taking a chance on it and is my personal fancy 

My Choice:#1 Self Directed Win 

RACE 7:A Terms race for horses (4yo+) over 1400 mts

Barring the two outstation challengers which have no doubt added some spice to this race,honestly I feel that Dandified who has a great record at this centre is a top contender 

Invincible Prince won a class I affair in its last start and is now being partnered by a jockey who is in red hot form,the upsetter if any 

Im not going to commit anything on this race and let the best horse win 

Race 8:A class IV race over 1400 mts 

There are many 3 yo horses in the fray and I am of the opinion that the winner will be one amongst them 

Oath of Valour a same class winner will find it difficult to repeat here but not impossible 

Sreeputra has services of ace jockey and at low weights cannot be ignored 

Then there is Lancers Dream who was expected to do well last time,with the same top jockey doing duty one can expect it to do well 

And there is Royal Brute who is getting a switch in saddle support and has been showing out earlier in its career,a fair chance here and is my personal fancy 

My Choice:#10 Royal Brute Win 

RACE 9:A race for horses in class IV over 1400 mts 

Another race where I feel that the 3 yo's will have a better chance if winning 

Two debutants in the fray adds more spice to this race 

In my opinion Yerevan and Lanner Falcoln are the ones that seem to have an edge especially the former 

But going by the preperations of Casper The Ghost am inclined to take a chance on that,my personal fancy 

My Choice:#9 Casper The Ghost Win 

Have a nice day,gamble responsibly 

UPDATE TIME:11:25 am 

CHHUNDU WIN 1000 
ASTRAL DANCER WIN 1500 
Meekathara Win 1000 
SELF DIDECRED WIN 1000 
ROYAL BRUTE WIN 1000 
CASPER THE GHOST WIN 1000 

NOTE:The investment plan is for guidance and self Assesment only and is not a recommendation of any sort !

Mumbai 01/04/17

Hello Friends,                          By the time this post gets completed it would be just an hour or two before racetime,anyways hope it helps those who could read it RACE 1: Multigory: won maiden race in his second start and has won class class 4,class 3 and class 53-79 races subsequently,the last two start winner has hit sublime form and is the one to watch out for Jeanine: A first start winner over 5f to clear maidens has subsequently won class 3 and class 2,pune has been a better hunting ground. Pugnacious: Has age on his side and so are the weights tilted in his favour,on class is a maiden winner,class 4 winner and class 3 winner,hence is the one to beat During the fag end of the season horses who are in form can hope to do much better and with that logic I feel Multiglory should have a big say in the opener Race 3: Forest Fire: A maiden,having second start in class V over extended trip with a...

Bangalore selections and analysis 27/07

Race no 1: A race for class V horses over 1200 mts On the outset this race looks extremely tricky thanks to the the form? of the runners in this race.  Mountain Train which runs after a long lay-off after its winter adventure looks like a contender here purely based on its track form,but as always its a lottery to assume if the horse after a lay off can put up a winning gallop just after returning or will it need this run? But it is prepared extensively ignore at will That brings me back to two horses which have relatively good form in Will still and Star of desire ,both have reasonable form and the latter a demotee with a switch in jockey has come down a lot in ratings  My choice:#1 Star of Desire for Win  Race no 2:A race for Class V horses over 1200 mts Upper division of the previous race,the field is comprised of many youngsters,here too form is not seen in plenty  Rubi Rey ,which ran in the upper class finished fourth to My Faviurite voice, now drops down in gra...

Mumbai Thursday races 12/12/13 a Analysis and Selections

Hello Friends,                       The mid-week racing card at Mumbai consists a compact card of 7 races,here is my analysis and selections for the day  Race no 1:Class V race over 1200 mts  Ancient Odyssey  which won its last start in the same class over the same distance now gets a positive switch in rider,as most of the field is out of relative form,this horse has a fair chance to repeat here Polar Zone  which has earlier shown some spark is now getting a guidance from a top jockey,has run decently in its previous runs too,no tracks are seen and that is my only worry  But one horse which caught the eye during its last run is  SHOWERS OF HEAVEN, it had a forward run in a large field with Dharmendar on top and was calling the shots until they crossed the 200 mts marker over a 7f trip,now with a benifit of that run and a switch to jockey,shapes as a decent chance bet for the day  MY CHOICE:#...
