Hyderabad selections 17-07-08

First day of the season after a long lay off of 4 months.Hyderabad has not recieved even a single rain this year.Track looks ready for racing but caution will be the key word for initial few meetings.
Here are my views abt the races to held on Thursday.
Race 1: Acciaccatura(5)-win
Acciccatura is regular in trials, is working well.In race no 268 of monsoon season it ran close to likes of Kyles of bute and Able associates(twice winner in bangalore),it has best chance to win from Powerplay who has +ve change of equipment and working well in trials with main jockey but only draw back is he is running after a lay off of 7 months and also failed as favourite in its last outing.Strategic partner returned from bangalore impressively but she has given only one track and this run may be bit too early for her comfort.Sir almas is a upset commodity and hence has a good chance to place.

Race 2: Celtic shot(2)-win
Sparsh on basis of its impressive win in bangalore ,good track work and +ve change of equipment will be market fancy but she has a tough competitor in form of Celtic shot which won very impressively in its last outing beating sparsh,it hasnot done anything wrong yet and is all set to score from Sparsh and cheetah he jeetah.Red fairy who beat Able associate will need this run.Madho will find this company very tough..

Race3: Stroke of luck(3)-e/w
Stroke of luck baring its last run always prominent in superior company , is regular in track,working well has better credentials to win from Bella cool which i feel is not completely ready evident by lack of trial works(only 1).Pillantronics was winner at identical weight,distance in same category at start of Monsoon season but over weak company,subsequent runs were poor.Costa mesa is a forward runner and this distance is behind her compass.

Race4: Ivorysnow(2)-win
A race for non winners, poor set of runners.Ivory snow should win here in absence of any worthy opponet.Storm command has -ve change of equipment.

Race5: Flashflares(13)-e/w Cannonscot(1)-PLACE
A tough race.My first selection was Prohibition but choice of jockey has put me off as same trainer engaged Ganeshwar in his other charge in other race.Spymate is a good type of horse which picked up two consecutive wins but over weak company,is very fit will run close to winner.Flashflares is regular in tracks,his final spurt was very impressive should win this race from spymate.Winning rays does not impress me as it has no track work.Note true force who is a habitual forward runner and with 200mts less to run will place at longer odds.Cannon scot a demotee will definetely place.

Race6:Jayjay(11)-WIN stylish lady(10)-place
Jay jay ,a forward runner is facing weak opposition and should run away with this race.Forget bakersfield and baywatch babe,no form . Stylish lady is very fit,ran in good company but finishing in ruck,will surely place.

Race7: Khaleels pride(1)-win spurcespringstein(13)- place
Khaleels pride even at this weight is cut above the rest and should easily win from Arrow of light and bottom weighted sprucespringstein who is a place certainity.Flying rudolp and rajveer may not match strides with the above ones.

Race8: Classic cruise(3)-WIN

Classic cruise's third in its last run behind crocodile hunter and Rajveer speaks about its class,has won previously beating some quality opposition,is tracking very well ,is very fit and should win this race from true value.Doing my best,cefiro will find this distance sharp.

Race9: Million deal(8)-win
Race for lowest rated animals.It is good to leave this race.Million deal is regular in trials can win.Millenuim queen is tracking very well but vatsalya's horse never convert track works into winning spree.

Days best: Khaleelspride(7-1)

Treble: Khaleelspride/classiccruise(8-3)/ivorysnow(4-2)

Eachway: Celticshot(2-2),stroke of luck(3-3),Flahflares(5-13)

Good place: sprucespringstein(7-13),Stylish lady(6-10),cannonscot(5-1)

Have a nice day
