1. ATTICUS is undoubtedly a top ranking horse in this field though he made heavy weather of winning last time, looks improved to repeat. PREVISE won last time as the hot favorite was blatantly pulled. ROOP MANTRA has credentials based on last season runs. ASHWA CHICAGO may improve with a better rider.
ATTICUS(1)-WIN
ROOP MANTRA(3)-PLACE.
2. Ignore poor runs of MASTER BECKET in class races, has a chance here. TERMS AND CONDITIONS is a speedy one who could not sustain in better company at Bangalore, can win easily on a sincere try. ASHWA RANA is from a good sire but nothing much mare who has produced two duds so far. SEA STORM looks well in tracks, has a weak rider.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS(3)-WIN
MASTER BECKET(1)-PLACE.
3. RYBACK finished on wide and fast in last race, has a capable rider to deliver at this handicap. EXTREME DESIRE may find step up in distance tough to handle. LOVELY GIRL may be favored for the fine win in weaker company, rider flies in to go for repeat.
RYBACK(1)-WIN
LOVELY GIRL(3)-PLACE.
4. Ignore runs of SPEED DEMON in higher class, was kept out of competition with an eye to demote, watch for betting and can deliver even with this rider. MUMTAZ BEGUM ran a suggestive forward race, rookie has a chance. GAMBLER RETURNS won well and may be favored by bookies for repeat. ASHWA PREETI has a proper rider after a forward placing run.
SPEED DEMON(1)-WIN
GAMBLER RETURNS(5)-PLACE.
5. COMPREHENSIVE ran a weak race and looked underfed, ignore for now. SHINNING SILK is winner of 3 races and look at what she has to beat. MASTER AGGASI has some potential based on last season runs and a try rider at low weights.
SHINNING SILK(3)-WIN
MASTER AGGASI(7)-PLACE.
6. ZIP AWAY is the horse for long shot hunters if at good odds, has been given a run by the crooked intent trainer. MISS JULIA has impressed in both wins, has potential yet. OSCULATE has a try rider after an initiating run. TARANTINO can get on board again.
ZIP AWAY(1)-WIN
MISS JULIA(6)/ OSCULATE(8)-PLACE
