1. QUARTER CASK was struggling to catch up with the runaway winner in last run, has a stronger rider , public fancies from this trainer were packed from stables yesterday and were well enjoyed by the book keepers. MIDTOWN DELIGHT was given an a very negative ride and yet got up to place, has a much keen rookie looking for his maiden win. FANCY NUMBER has been waited with, has been prepared and may contest seriously under this rider. SAYONEE ran in patches and may improve on that run.
MIDTOWN DELIGHT(2)-WIN
FANCY NUMBER(4)/QUARTER CASK(1)-PLACE.
2. STORMONT has been worked well, may compete. THE WAY I AM has much experience from Mumbai runs and has looked sharp in tracks, can do well if given a try ride. The half sister to MACHIAVELLIANISM has an ordinary rider and DANCING JESSIE does not appeal in first run. DAZZLING BAY had run green in maiden run, has impressed in gates and tracks are forward, is from a black type mare. ICEGLOW in a nice bred , is coming to hand. ONLY PRINCESS from a notorious trainer appears in fine nick and has to be watched after the last catchy run.
DAZZLING BAY(10)-WIN
THE WAY I AM (8)/ONLY PRINCESS(12)-PLACE.
3. AS GOOD AS IT GETS shocked a younger field in last run, will show out in this group. ALL PROOF has tracked well, rider is weak.

CHERRY HINTON has an allowance rider and low weights, has been shown easy gates.BRONZINO is still a maiden, has been well tracked.
CHERRY HINTON(9)-WIN
AS GOOD AS IT GETS(1)/ ALL PROOF(4)-PLACE.
4. ROCK WITH U had gone away from SHIVALIK STAR in this cup race last year, has been well tracked by the shady trainer, should be running for the cup again. The later lost a certain race last time due to lack of finishing power by the rider, may place due to early speed. YOUR ROYAL HONESTY ran a good 2nd in a better class, should be strongly fancied today. ROYAL SALUTE is in best form of life.MR GORGEOUS is tracking well and has a rider who is making impression with his rides.
YOUR ROYAL MAJESTY(3)-WIN
ROCK WITH U (1)/SHIVALIK STAR(2)-PLACE.
5. CASTLE STUART is looking in fine fettle in works, needs more ground ideally. SCARLET EMPEPOR has been worked easy, sprint is to his liking. ASSIDUOUS has shown out in tracks but has a work jockey? Valerian from a weak trainer has often flopped on backing, has nasty gate habits and can only run true sometimes, looks well prepared, has not won except in 3 year terms. SHREWD MASTER was well beaten in last run , needs another chance. AMAZING REDD is a place horse, may be tried.
SHREWD MASTER (8)-WIN
VALERIAN (7)/CASTLE STUART(1)-PLACE.
6. OSTWIND had veered out badly as a favorite and flopped, has a weaker rider at top weight. PHOENIX TIGER is an exciting one from the good sire, looks in fine nick, races after a bit of set back, should do well. VALIANT SPIRIT is from the top sire and is excelling in morning sprints, has ideal weights. OSTWIND has been sharpened up on inner sands.
VALIANT SPIRIT(5)-WIN
PHOENIX TIGER(2)/OXFORD OPINION(1)-PLACE.
7. ACCURACY is working nicely. PASSING FULCRUM is notable in tracks. WILD WILD ANGELS is in pink condition and should be backed well today. SUPREME DOMINATOR has impressed in mocks, can upset.
