Mumbai Pre Derby Day 04/05/2017

Hello Friends,
                        The Pre Derby day card at Mumbai consistsof 8 races with the Kunigal Breeders Produce Stakes as the highlight of the day,here is my take about the card

Race 1:A race for 3yo's which has a decent cash prize and is restricted to maidens,amongst the debutants it is the Shapoor Mistry owned Highland Woods that catch the eye. However in Lincoln,Sereno and Sweet Music we have three able contenders and amongst them it is Sweet Music that happens to be my primary choice as it was a fancied horse in a million earlier and may prove to be second time lucky and the other two if they show improvement can make it a damn race here

My Choice:#7 Sweet Music Win 

 Race 2:A tricky race for horses in class IV over a mile. Dark Gold,Star of Honour and Nelsons Blood are three horses that catch my attention in this race with Sumaaq being the joker in the pack,Star Of Honour is a summered horse and had run behind some notable horses down south and for reasons which may be mostly related to health was kept away from the racing scene but it has been putting in some good work and if racing fit is a major player in this race,Dark Gold did well to win last time out and will be hoping to do well stepping up in trip and then there is Nelsons Blood who is now having a second lifetime start with a positive switch in jockey to add merit to its claim,a very open race

My Choice:#9 Nelsons Blood Win/#4 Dark Gold (Upset)

 Race 3:Another tricky race this time over 9 furlongs and a class III affair.Silken Eyes,Star Comrade and Multiglory are the horses in my shortlist.Although old in tooth Multiglory is the one to beat in this race given its amazing runs in its two runs earlier this season and one could say it is 'knocking'at the door,Silken Eyes has run in big races and blew up its ratings and ironically I see that as a negative but then its a player here and Star Comrade looks like the one that could do well given its earlier runs suggestive of a liking for this trip.

My Choice:#5 Multiglory Win 

 Race 4:Tutankhamun is jumping out from the wider most draw and is running at Bombay two things to ponder about after what seemed like a top class performance on debut and is a major player here,Glyndebourne just held on last time in what was a messy race but for the son of Portia a good filly owned by the connections this race should be a test of class and ofcourse there is Timeless who may like the extra ground and this mix of variables makes it a race to watch out for,I think that the Outstation challenger has an edge though

My Choice:#2 Tutankhamun Win 

 Race 5:A race for horses in the lower class,two demotees catch the eye in Forest Gold due to the work it has put on the tracks and King of Killen due to its earlier runs,I think the race should be between them and I'm going for the latter as the latter has done well in its runs over this trip

My Choice:#2 King of Killen Win 

 Race 6:A race for horses in the highest handicap class and may prove to be a tough nut to crack as youngsters more often than not encounter an experienced foe,The Champ,Brahmachari,Deep Diver,Champagne and Cataleya being the players according to me in this race,I must admit that after being a bit off the scene down south Cataleya has run two decent races at Bombay and the fact that she ran well over a 5f race finishing on well gives me hope of doing running well on promotion.

My Choice:#9 Cataleya Win 

 Race 7:Signor who is on its second lifetime start should be a major player in this race along with Safdar the maiden million winner at Pune who is stepping down in class,amongst them it is the former that appeals due to one factor that is the jockey,New England ran an eye catching race last time out and should be prominent too.

My Choice:#6 Signor Win 

 Race 8:Another tricky race to close the proceedings of the day,Rock in Rio/Wild Jack/Captain being the three horses in my shortlist for this race,Wild Jack has been consistently hitting the board and with a good forward run over 6f last time out is the one to beat in this race and is my personal fancy

My Choice:#10 Wild Jack Win 

 Days Best:3-5 Multiglory 

 Good Bets:6-9 Cataleya,7-6 Signor 

 HAVE A NICE DAY,GAMBLE RESPONSIBLY.

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:#...
