Mumbai Thursday 14/03/2017

Hello Friends,
                        So Mumbai racing season has reached a stage where there is nothing much to look forward to with the majority of Black Type races in the burner and a few handicap races to keep the Interest going,my last post was more of a guide rather than a tipping thing which I used to do,On that note would try to do the same again with comments for every horse,followed by personal preferences.

Race 1

Uncle Scrooge:Class V win to clear maidens followed by a class IV win,the trip is a big? as horse is cutting down a lot in trip,difficult.

Cezzane:Old in tooth,have always done well over 5 furlongs,not in the hunt here

Chizzler:2/2 so far in its career,Same class winner yet on the improving curve,keep an eye

Bounty Queen:Maiden class winner,Lower Class Winner and Same Class winner,last run was bad but has been a surpriser sort in its career

Merabella:Debut winner in class IV and later won class III,has not climbed the handicap latter since then,outside chance

Wind Craft:If age is a criterion then should be overlooked but then distance should also be a cause of concern add it to the fact that it is meeting youngsters in the fray

Dancing Lord:Cleared maidens on Debut in the Maiden class,then had to come down in class from class III to class IV to score over this race's trip,last run in class 3 was decent enough to consider it as a contender here

Sawgrass:Class V and Class IV wins came back to back over the same trip,ran a gallant race in a handicap million last start and was not heavily penalised for that effort,in with a shout here

Chizzler/Dancing Lord/Sawgrass pick themselves out in my study as contenders,Dancing Lord seems like having an edge in class hierarchy.


Race 4

Beneficial:Same Class winner,retained in d-2 due to placement tactics from the trainer,with respect to the field is a contender here

Knights Quest:Winner in last start in lower class,has the form hence cannot be overlooked

Slam Dunk:Still a maiden,consistent runs this season,respect.

Ice Angel:Still a maiden,placed second over this trip in maiden class,respect.

Arvan:Maiden,always a backmarker and jockey inspiring nil confidence,ignore

Noble Chieftain:Maiden,backmarker last couple of runs,difficult

Azzeza:Maiden,debut run,keep an eye

Flower Dust:1 run,backmarker,negative shoes,ignore.

Pantela:Youngest in the fray,yet in a handicap so soon ?

Shalom:Late debutant,premier yard,keep an eye

She's A Tiger:Maiden,second start improvement beckons,feather weight,keep an eye

Impossible Dream:Maiden,not much of an impact last start and jockey is ?,not here.

Beneficial/Slam Dunk/Ice Angel/Shalom pick themselves as contenders due to reasons as mentioned above,I feel it is between the three maidens and the debutant may give a good account of herself due to obvious reasons.

Race 5

Nascar:Maiden winner,same class winner,higher class runner,only ? is about distance

Valentino:Class 1 winner at calcutta,demotee,keep an eye as running too soon after last start

Papakura:Higher Class Winner,claimer may help matters,last hurrah at Bombay? contender.

Incentio:Lower class winner this season,is racing fit at this age,interesting horse in the fray.

Ancient Glory:Thrice Lower Class winner,last effort good,keep an eye

Allora:Maiden class winner,3/4 over this trip,Jockey is a regular for this horse,in the hunt

Alishas Pet:Lower class winner,last run good against youngster,keep an eye

Governor General:Last Start can be ignored due to distance,Maiden class winner and lower class winner,in the hunt

Papakura/Allora/Governor General pick themselves up as probable contenders in the class hierarchy,the last two named horses appeal more on closer scrutiny and one amongst them should throw a winner

Race 6 

Free Speech:Won two races back to back in maiden class followed by a class III win,running thereabouts since then,outsider.

Rider On The Storm:Two times winner in class 4,then once in class 3,age is a ?

Nature Boy:Two times winner in class 4,then once in class 3,age is a ?

Arabelle:Maiden class win followed by a class 3 (30-50) win at bangalore,higher class runner at Bombay,decent chance here

Cyclone:Maiden class winner,same class winner last run,may need to improve here

Queen Credible:Maiden class winner,same class winner,then hovering in the same class,claimer is a +

Hirohama:class V win followed by a class III win,then thereabouts,will wait and see

Lady Danehill:Won good on debut and then won again in class 3,dropped to a rating where it can strike,keep an eye.

Quixotic:Maiden Class winner,last run in class 3a,on a bit of pseudo demotion,jockey is a ?,keep an eye

Dancing Prince:class 4 winner twice over this trip,class 3 runs are decent,may find this race hard though in my view

Rock in Rio:Maiden class winner,then hovering in class IV and class III,keep an eye

Alpine Express:Maiden Class Winner,class 4 winner this season,last run in class 3 was decent enough,huge change in saddle support,a contender for sure.

Queen Credible/Lady Danehill/Rock in Rio/Alpine Express get my attention on closer scrutiny and Alpine Express gets my first pick due to reasons mentioned above.

Thats all I have time for this mid-week racing fixture,have a nice evening at the races......
