1. FORMULA ONE may run well, has been given an easy run. VISTABELLA has been tracked, may be considered for the fact bthat he failed twice as favourite. KING OF HEROES ran a good race and gets a good rider now. BLIZZARD OF OZZ at bottom weight should be fancied, was a front runner who went wide after the bend as a favourite.
BLIZZARD OF OZZ-KING OF HEROES-VISTABELLA.
2. The nicely bred BARACCHUS has been well prepared. NESTO has speedy parents and should run a forward race. ATMOS is from the precocious sire and has been tracked well. SMART CONNECTIONS is notable in morning works.
ATMOS-NESTO-BARACCHUS.
3.RAKSHITA goes over ideal trip with a forceful rider, should win if backed in the ring. THUNDER has a useful handicap but jockey is non performer. NATION’S GLORY had gone wide when fancied last time, has been trained since. EMPHATIC VICTORY is down in scales.
RAKSHITA-NATION’S GLORY-EMPHATIC VICTORY.
4.SILHOUTTE has been working fine and has a rider switch. TRADITION has good early speed, has been given a run. OPTIMUS ZONE impressed with a forward run under a work jockey. ZIZZI needs a run, lacks preparation, may surprise. SUPER SILVER was pulled in last run, has a handicap chance.
SUPER SILVER-OPTIMUS ZONE-SILHOUTTE.
5. SEE BRIGHT was kept back and alerted a bit late in last run, has a better rider to be forceful now. CHIRON has tracked for long, may be difficult in this lot to be in money. ZERMATT won all the way and in current form will make them all run. GREY CONNECTION had run in shaping like a winner till nabbed, gets another chance. COCTAIL CIRCUIT at low weight with a good jockey should fight out.
SEE BRIGHT-ZERMATT-COCKTAIL CIRCUIT.
6.Ordinarily 3 year olds are favoured to win as they step up into class races against 4 year olds etc but in this race I suspect the pair of 3 year olds may not be that sure a bet. SUPREME REGIME had won twice in summers b ut has been a failure since then and may have tracked well alongside MUIROI but lacks an authentic forward run. MADAME BOVARY has been unnecessarily penalised heavily for 4th position in Mysore 1000Guineas. The pair has a serious threat from DIAMONITE who has been given a run and is working very well. INQUISITION at top weight may make it interesting by running a forward race, has won at this level before.
DIAMONITE-SUPREME REGIME-INQUISITION.
7.The feature race should be won by MARIINSKY who has good credentials and is in fine fettle. The only blemish is that she finished behind BEAUTY IS TRUTH in summers but the later has not been the same since and is yet to win her maidens race. The challenge should emerge from ISN’T SHE SPECIAL who is nicely bred and is in fine nick. The good one from Mysore, KETURAH has come up a lot and may be fancied to fight out along with the much improved ALCAZABA who was a very imposing winner in last run.
MARIINSKY- ALCAZABA-ISNT SHE SPECIAL.
8. GLYCYS BAY is the failed favourite who could not catch up with the runaway winner. SUPREME has come down a lot but has a new owner and an average rider. PRINCE OF DARKNESS was given an ordinary ride by a work jockey, has scope here. ROYAL ADMIRAL has no works and no run for some time, gets a top rider.
PRINCE OF DARKNESS-GLYCYS BAY- ROYAL ADMIRAL.
9. THE SITUATION may run a forward race, has won at this level before. NATURAL VIEW is the youngster who is winner once and has been given an easy run. RAAGA is a non winner 5 year old who has a good rider repeating, may upset. TRANSFORMER impressed in gates. DANCE WITH ME has been given quick runs, may place.
NATURAL VIEW-RAAGA-TRANSFORMER.
DAYS BEST----MARIINSKY
DOUBLE--BLIZZARD OF OZZ X PRINCE OF DARKNESS
