Mumbai 15th March

Hi all,

Following are my views for races to be held on Sunday.

Race1:Ruleoflaw(2)/Easter Lily(7) Upset:Raftar(5)

The Tempset may be fancied on basis of impressive second in mockrace,but will need this run and can only hope to place.Baring Ruleoflaw,Easterlily and Lastnightsonnets rest all are running for first time in this season on this Track.Ruleoflaw has good initial speed,was observed to be bit rustic in its last run due to long lay off,may have benifitted by that run,now running in lower class has good chance.Easterlily ran a good forward race in its last outing,can definetely improve on that run.Of the first timers Anemos is working very well but will need this run.Raftar even though running after long lay off, is seen regular in tracks and pool,and with help of "Blks" can place at longer odds.

Race2:Blue Danube(4)/Creme De La Creme's(5) Upset:Peregrine Falcon(6)

Littlewarrrior is moving impressively in track with "Blks" but not sporting the same for the race,hence it can be ignored for this run.Bluedanube was bit slow in start in its last outing,working very well and should easily account for this set.Battlefury can be ignored due to -ve switch of jockey and Littlewarrior{same owner}..Creme De La Creme's last run can be ignored as it lost ground at start and ran easy thru out,earlier led the field till last 300mts to Versaki,can extend its best here,place looks good.Both Riverroute and Riding fantasy will need this run.Peregrine Falcon was prominent till last 300mts before easing off,will definetely improve upon that run,place looks very good.

Race3:Nora(1)/Trueelegance(5)

Nora :Moves up with Gigantic strides,will relish Mumbai's long course,Winner of mockrace,only worry is weight.
Thunderinghooves:Lost as hot market fancy,will do well in lower category,can be ignored here.
Walkingtall:Could not make impression even in his age group,looks difficult here.
Risinghero,Brad:Only one track after last run and weak jockey,can be ignored.
Trueelegance:+Change of plates and run benifit makes it one of the contender for this race,should be involved in finish.
Indiansummer:Not so impressive record,at best can place.
Falconcrest:Winner of very very poor company,no chance of even place here.

Race4:Harmonic(9)/Reddragon(5) Upset:Natouchka(10)

Very interesting race.P Shroff has 5 runners, 2 belong to Dhunjiboy,one each to Vijayshirke{partly owned with Dhunjiboy},Vijaymallya and Harish N Mehta.Out of 5 ,Astral flash's last run was suggestive of its class,working well and emerges as main contender from his stable.But my first pick is Harmonica who inspite of rough passage finished flying second in Million race,should win this race with plenty in hand.Reddragon's last run was suggestive and should finish in top2.Natouchka's final preparatory gallop is too good to be ignored,can place at longer odds.

Race5:Calypso Dancer(6)/Global Spirit(5)

Ignore last run of Calypso dancer where it ran easy in strong company,will extend its best here and looks good for win.Globalspirit is sighted in tracked only once casting doubts over his fitness.Incredible beauty and fideldifensor emerges as genuine upset horses.Bluejay needs strong saddle assistence and cannot be backed confidently for win

Race6:.Monopoly(1)/Amberogio(4)

Monopoly faces no threat in this very poor set and should easily pull it off.Amberogio is genuine contender and will definetely be involved in finish with former.Buattifel can only hope to place.

Race7:Oasisstar(7)/Rhapsidionsnow(8)

Feature event of the day.Million dollar question is whether Oasis star can be defeated,if so who can?.Rhapsidionsnow emerges out as serious threat to Oasis star.Aurora Aurealis will place at lucrative odds.

Race8:.Maseeha(6)/Nobleprince(1)

Nobleprince's first run this season,has good feel of Mum track,earlier Won St Ledgers cup last year,working very well,but weight is big worry,can win due to poor company.Maseeha may take advantage of feather weight and steal the show,is my first pick to win this race.Yana is working well,may be fancied,but will have to beat above said duo.

Race9:Lightning Cavalry(5)/Argentina(4)

Race is restricted to this two,with former holding advantage of travelling this distance where as latter one is winner of poor company and in this higher set never travelled this distance.Thanda can hope to fill in the remaining berth.

Race10:Siouxchief (6)/Ladytrooper(9)

All are equally worst and Siouxchief can win simply because no other is worthy.Ladytrooper can fetch good return for place and will finish ahead of Blackpatridge.

Daysbest:Harmonic(4-9)

Double:Blue Danube(2-4)/Harmonic(4-9)

Treble:Blue Danube(2-4)/Harmonic(4-9)/Monopoly(6-1)

Place:Raftar(1-5)/Peregrine Falcon(2-6)/Natouchka(4-10)/Aurora Aurealis(7-14)/Ladytrooper(10-9)

Have a nice day
