Hyderabad 24/11

Hi all,

Opening event of the day wears an open look.Realtor incurred a penalty of 10.5kg after finishing 6th in race no 189 in monsoon,subsequently was reduced by 11 points after next race.This is quite baffling and far from my understanding. Trainer Narayan rao will hog limelight and should atleast boot 3 winners.Following are my views

Race1: Realtor(4)-win

At this weight Realtor looks good and should be good bet,only threat comes from Pillantonics.Royalembassy will save place money.Ladyescort is suspect over this distance.

Race2:Recast(5)-win

Recast's last run warrants attention and should be able to pull it off in this very weak set.Indianarmy should place.

Race3:Zamboanga(5)-win

Zamboanga ran easy to stablemate Fireblaze,was seen moving very impressively in final furlong,tracking very well beating Dashonregardless(R 69),running with +ve change of shoes should win from Spark and gallantprince.

Race4:Cannonview(7)-win

Cannonview stands tall in this set and should not have much difficulty in winning this race from Stablemate Kohinoormagic and Whitechieftan.Timesquare pulled up lame in its last run in monsoon,only one track after that suggests it will not be extended fully.Galloping grocer is genuine dark horse but no trackwork,so ignored.

Race5:Cannonhunt(5)-win

Cannonhunt won very impressively last time beating superior Adorna,looks very good in this set.Manduro,if not for jockey would have been first choice.Titleshot is running within 5 days,fitness will be big thing.Vijaysena,no chance of one more made up race,so ignored.

Race6:Fabalouscrown(2)-win

Sprintrace.Horses which have good initial speed are main contenders.Cannonscot can be ignored due to jockey and change of shoes.Fabalouscrown has given very good forward runs along with superior horses and finishing close,has BEST chance over this distance,only worry is that it has been given 2 gatepractises,hope it does not bolt up like last time.Sixthelement looks good for place.Kingsfortune,at best can finish third.

Race7:Cogent(3)-win

What a race this will be! Not for weak hearted.Cogent,birdie,vinaleo,Bundleofroses,habituated all have equal chances.Iam opting for Cogent which earlier won in record time in monsoon and in next run has beaten formidable company which included Dancingtouch and truefashion(both have won easily in winter).Birdie is next best and will be locked together with Cogent at WP.Bundleofroses literally flies in last part of race,hotpace here may not be to its liking.Habituated is endowed with good initial speed and by virtue of being drawn in inner box will have advantage and will surely place.

Race8:Sugargold(7)-win

Sugargold is at feather weight and should be a strong contender in this distance.Stablemate Kohinoorstar may be fancied on basis of its second to copertina,but has problem of drifting in straight,distance is sharp.Mijhinkle and Grandact will fight for minor placings.

Race9:Royalassembly(7)-win

Royalassembly is at tidy handicap and should win from Worldwide and Freakfantasy.Kudos may try start to finish tactics but weight will be stopper.
