1.Victorica was a fluent winner in the lower class on the opening day , may defy the penality. Maseeha is very well placed on handicap vis a vis Victorica ,but has a poor jockey w/o the whip, may win.
VICTORICA-MASEEHA
2. Mountain Bear is a classic prospect ,will be hard to beat. Skywards likes the wet track conditions & has been prepared well. Sail Away won in the same class in Pune last year & is tracking well.
MOUNTAIN BEAR-SKYWARDS-SAIL AWAY
3. Red Revelation is speedy,has been prepared. Mind The Gap led into the straight last week before fizzling out.Charging Rhino though aged is fast enough & has come down in class.The Right Man is tacking well.
MIND THE GAP-RED REVELATION-CHARGING RHINO
4. Steel Butterfly could not step up last time, may find the trip sharp. Orlando Bloom will try to win only if backed. Supreme Sword failed as a favourite last weak ,though he is better placed than Oyster Gem & Stunning Star when they were campaigned as maidens last year at Pune.Stunning Star won two races in a row at Pune last year.
SUPREME SWORD-ORLANDO BLOOM-STUNNING STAR
5. Spica can make it a start to finish affair. Gatravat is tracking well. Mejestical is sparingly raced who will be put to test first time today, the pedigree commands respect.
MEJESTICAL-SPICA-GATRAVAT
6. Oyster Cove is a top sprinter who can defy the handicap, he won this race last year.Star Conquest has been unbeaten in his last four runs & remains in good condition.Star Strike apperas to be back in fitness after a long period, he is showing out the best on track. Atmosphere appeals on handicap.
OYSTER COVE-STAR CONQUEST-STAR STRIKE
7. Covenant is speedy was a good 3rd to Open Opinion . Fire Away may find the trip sharp though he is tracing well. Roman Ruler, brother to Iberian is the one to watch out for as he may run away from them all.
ROMAN RULER-COVENANT-FIRE AWAY
8.Royal Ballerina has been a flop & sold off, so avoid. Timeless Majesty should have won last year but suffered set back. Mercedes placed first time under a non try jockey in her last run & is bound to be all out today.Zuetina has been running inconsistent races ,may be in the hunt. Eternal Flight has been working regularly.
MERCEDES-ZUETINA-TIMELESS MAJESTY

- REALISTIC LOOK AT THE PERFORMANCE OF FRESHMAN SIRES 1. Four freshman sires had their crop racing in the country in the racing year 2018-19 . CORPORATE JUNGLE(USA) 2008 BY GIANTS CAUSEWAY( HAZARA STUD) LEITIR MOR (IRE) 2010 BY HOLY ROMAN EMPEROR(POONAWALLA STUD) SPEAKING OF WHICH(IRE) 2009 BY INVINCIBLE SPIRIT(USHA STUD) SUDIRMAN(USA) 2011 BY HENRY THE NAVIGATOR(EQUUS STUD) 2. CORPORATE JUNGLE had a reported crop of 31 live foals as per stud book and only 9 were winners as follows. ROYAL CURRENCY-4WINS including Nilgiri Derby Grade 1. ELECTRA-2WINS LADY ASCOT-2WINS STAR CAVALARY-1WIN SPARTAN -1W BROTHER IN ARMS-1W EXQUISITE STAR-1W FUN LOVER-1W NORELAA-1W. 3. LETIR MOR had a reported crop of 49 and has 12 winners so far. STORM BREAKER-3W including Juvenile Sprinters Million Grade 3. HUNT FOR GOLD-2W including Breeders Produce Stakes Grade 3 VIJAY SINGHAM-2W RAINBOW TROUT-2W MYSTIC BAY-2W SILVER FLAME-2W MAJESTIC WARRIOR 2W BEEMER-1W ICE FLOE-1W GODS PLAN-1W NOVA SCOTIA-1W. 4. SPEAKING OF WHICH had a reported crop of 29 and has 12 winners RHAPSODY-2W ANGEL GRACE-2W MAKHTOOB-2W THE GREAT GATSBY-2W SLICE OF HAVEN-1W GIFT OF GRACE-1W MY PASSION-1W ROSINA-1W SPEAKING OF STARS-1W WIZARD OF STOCKS-1W ASMITA-1W RULE THE WORLD-1W 5. SUDIRMAN being infertile did not have any live produce. COMMENTS A. SPEAKING OF WHICH is no comparison to the good sires produced by the top North Indian Stud Farm which housed the best ever RAZEEN, top sire today MULTIDIMENSIONAL, outstanding GREY GASTON, and the highly respected STEINBECK. However he stands out on comparison to the other three and appears to be the best to choose from the freshman sires purely because of lurking promise over classic distances which the coming winter season will offer to the present 3 year olds.He is bound to click with some Razeen mare, if an ordinary sire like CHINA VISIT could get classic winners from them then hope such winners from SPEAKING OF WHICH are soon to be seen. B. LEITIR MOR appears to be a decent sire as his crop has got two black type races and he is from a stud farm which has quality mares are kept. What is discerning is the number of non racers from the crop, the produce has to be race worthy and should come to hand early otherwise it creates many doubts in the ability. Long time ago we had such a sire in LORD ZARA who gave very fragile produce and it was always a risk for the owners. However the sire may have limitations of stamina, the racing style of the winners indicate suitability for speed. Unfortunately LEITIR MOR developed problems and was hardly utilized and has may be one or two foals in the forth coming season. C. The late CORPORATE JUNGLE was the weakest of the lot, did not give much impressive ones specially at the prime racing centres. Though he gave the Nilgiri derby winner I don’t see much more emerging. Since he has a sizable crop next year he will have winners in smaller centres like Chennai, Delhi etc. D. SUDIRMAN is a sob story for the breeders, he has failed again and may have an odd live one.
