Mumbai 12/02/15 Analysis and Selections

Race 1:A class V race over 1000m 

A classic class V affair over a short scurry,going by the recent form Spear of Trium may well end up as one of the fancied horses in this race thanks to being a demotee and also has the services of a good claimer,has some gate issues and with a level Jump is the threat to all 

Talking about demotees,Rising Wave comes to the mind as a contender in this race,has a sole run this season and has been subject to some gate jumps in the last ten days with a change in jockey,keep an eye 

Does the four year olds still have an advantage over the older horses or is that a race-race scenario,my view is the latter 

This race has horses such as Star Benevolent who has in the recent past run some forward races over middle distances is cutting down in trip,at these weights it may be a folly to completely ignore this horse 

Of the others Ocean Star who is in the ripe age of 8 and Glorious Crown are the two horses that attract attention,the former is a demotee with a Claimer and has done well in this season in all the three runs in open age company in the higher class and the latter has a jockey change with its last run over this trip has been quite pleasing to the eye 

My Choice:#3 Glorious Crown Win/Place 

Race 2:A class II race over 2400m

True that Zazou is bidding for a hat-trick this season and Al Shamsheer whose sire is a strong stamina influence are in the fray 

I feel that the class of Grenadine could well have a final say in this race,a winner in class III and a decent performer in a terms race should run a better race here and is my personal fancy

My Choice:#1 Grenadine Win 

Race 3:A class I race over 1200m

Moon Shadow,One Kept Secret and Mint Approach have all met in the same race where Maximus had the last laugh 

With that race as a criteria and the relative handicap and distance suitability and jockey factor taken into account,One Kept Secret emerges slightly better than the other two 

It has to tackle two last start winners in Zander and Quick Fire 

The former who ran a good start to finish race last time out now gets a change in jockey and will be in strong contention in this race 

My Choice:#3 One Kept Secret Win 

Race 4:For Maiden 3yo's over 1200m

Harvey has the best formline coming into this race,twice second in his career to horses Costa Del Sol and Admirality respectively,has been in the tracks and is the main contender here 

The challenge should mainly come from Sentimental who has also seen good company and indeed is dropping from a Million race to a maiden here,has been extensively prepared and is the threat to all 

There are some debutants in the race but Flying Show has been working well and has to be seen how it performs here 

My Choice:#1 Harvey Win 

Race 5:A cass III race over 1200m

In what seems like one of the most open race of the day,the limelight will certainly be on Mine Forever who is coming out of a very good last start and with Zervan on top who is the trusted knight of the top stable chances look good,however to be fair there is competition 

Take Impressionist who failed to carry top weights in the Lower class will now look for the bottom weights to aid it's cause and to make things difficult for it there is the presence of its vanquisher Tempest who had tried to nullify the penalty with a claimer doing duty 

Then there is Cha Cha Cha whose only run in this class after winning a class IV race was a decent third behind Egyptiana during the Derby weekend and is also seen in the tracks oflate,a decent chance 

And to top it all there is Beach Game who is coming out of a very good race where Soul Speak won on the PBMM day,on account of its form and the claimer to aid it's cause,a decent chance in this open race 

My Choice:#1 Beach Game Win 

Race 6:A class IV race over a mile 

There are no two ways of looking at it,the last run of Sabotage which was his debut was good with a claimer,now having the entrusted jockey of the stable on its back (Note the jockeys record this season has been poor compared to last season,even though the jockey/stable combination is strong) and some fine preparation to its credit this horse should run a very big race here,my personal fancy 

My Choice:#5 Sabotage Win 

Race 7:A class IV race over 1000m 

Blue Flame,Joleene,Star are the three contenders that look like having a big say in this race with respect to their form and the opposition 

Talking about preparation Mr Morisson is suddenly seen to be putting in a lot of good work in the track trials,keep an eye 

Finally there is the presence of Awesome Knight who is getting a top jockey in the saddle and will carry the bottom weight here,that's a combination that clicks and keep an eye 

My Choice:#1 Mr Morisson Win/Place 

DAYS BEST:HARVEY

GOOD BETS:GRENADINE,ONE KEPT SECRET,SABOTAGE

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:#...
