Hyderabad 16/11

Hi all,

Card looks good.Ldsilva will dominate the procedings.English jockey Dominic R Fox is here in hyd to ride for S A Abbas who has Liquor Barons horses in his stables,looks like he is trying hard to cope with loss of Col S B Nairs horses which have been shifted to Delhi based Anupam sharmas stable.R B Shinde is back on track after a long time.It may be recalled that due to some injury he was away from racing for quite sometime.

Race1:Grandrapids(2)-win

Youngsters race,nothing much to read into.Grandrapidis is tracking very well along with superior horses,has benifit of mockrace,running with "A" Shoes,should ran a good race.Pythagorus is well bred,tracking extremely well and if distance is not sharp then will be right there at busy end.Scamper is showing lot of initial speed in tracks can cause an upset.

Race2:Rudolphvalentino(3)-win

Monsoon runs of Rudolphvalentino were not so impressive.After change of stables finished an impressive second to sparsh in its last outing,is in rousing form as evident by pleasant track work and will be the horse to be beaten.Hypnotiq won well in monsoon,subsequently lost to inform Adamant approach,working well,will be right there at busy end.Indian dancer is back to where it belonged,has won a race in this category but over weak company,does not impress here in this set and at this weight.Kingsize ran some good races in monsoon,this distance looks beyond its compass.

Race3:Aljaded(2)-win

Flashflares is working very well but this distance is very sharp for his comfort,can be safely ignored.Aljaded was twice winner over identical distance in monsoon,subsequently ran along with superior horses,impressed in gate practise and tracks,should be able to pull it off.Navija can be ignored due to sharp distance.Dancing touch has shown good form in monsoon,working well,but will have to beat Aljaded.Essence's last run can be ignored,earlier was withdrawn twice,hence it would be wise to wait until it shows his old form.Mrchief,a forward runner in this apt distance,but outermost box is big disadvantage.Seeyouthere was fancied by its connections in its last run in which due to outermost box it cud not go to front,here drawn advantegously is sure to place.

Race4:Aljameel(1)-win

Aljameel even though a winner in maidens group looks good in this very weak set.Luckydamsel won over very weak company and failed to show any zest in slightly tougher company,at best can finish on board.Pharlap fully extended in its last outing but failed to make an impact,distance and weight are against this classic filly.Zorbonaut at best can place.Bangalore horse Copertina is entrusted to Foreign imported jockey D R Fox and both will need this run to get accustomed to conditions here.Kohinoor stars last run can be ignored in which it ran easy as Stable-prefered Penumatcha was ahead,looks good for place.Cabochan,winner in lower category at best can finish second.Benazir is genuine dark horse and can cause upset.

Race5:Alukhas(3)-win

Lenavi is on demotion,+ve change of shoes and is working very well,should finish in top3.Hariharpriya won in lower category and due to medicore jockey can be safely ignored.Alukhas, a winner in its last outing,is working extremely well and everyone have to catch him.Hollygolightly gave a nice forward runner in its last outing,but here it may face tough challenge.Danzsingh has benifit of run and SHOULD PLACE.Splendidscot is working well,shown very good form in monsoon,but here i guess will not be able to cope up with initial speed.Truefashion,a longshot place prospect.

Race6:Narwhal(4)-win

Narwhal was in striking position in its last outing,can do well in this very weak set.Heyden showed some form in its last run and will place.Tiara has -ve change of shoes where as Tigana has problem of slow take offs.Pacific groove is working well,very poor record,at best can place.Vijaylakh,a winner in lower category does not appeal here.

Race7:Spymate(7)/Flyingrudolph(2)

Iam surprised by the choice of jockey on Spymate who is well poised in handicap and looks best of lot.If spymate is not allowed to run on its merit then Flyingrudolp will finally earn a much awaited win.Arrow of light cannot carry this weight.Crocodile hunter always works very well but has failed in its last two outings,is best suited for mile.Globlal presence will set a hot pace and can win also,place looks certain.Sprucespringstein and cefiro will need distance.Oneinall cannot make any impression in this set.

Race8:Vintagedancer(6)-win

Vintagedancer has been prepared very well and is my first choice to win this youngsters race from Modestbride and Chiquelle.Chestnut dancer,full brother to Meditas pride does not appeal in this distance.

Race9:Arsham(5)-win

Arsham finished good unextended second to Highlands in the opening race of the season,working very well and should win this race easily from Debonair and Smartchoice.
