Race4:Pacemaker(7)/Master Craft(8)

Pacemaker:Set up a hot scorching pace over 1400mts in its last run,it should be fancied on that point in this shorter distance, ignore its run{Raceno 59} in same distance where it finished behind Elementoangel and ringbearer as it was drawn in outermost box,took flyjump and was trying to run out. Will run true to its form and can win if others wake up late.

Blazing Speed:Endowed with good initial speed and drawn advantegously in innermost box,has services of top jockey,seen in pool regularly,won a race 2 years back in Pune,long straight of Mumbai may not be suitable.
Ring Bearer:Running in ideal distance,but after gap of almost 2 months with no track work,cannot be backed confidently.
War Of Attrition:Likes to come off the pace,this distance may be sharp for his comfort,except for a win in 20-46 class last mum season,has failed to impress in any of its runs.

Thanda:Inspite of whipless jockey astride,won well last time with aid of "blks" ,now at rating of 39,will definetely be in top 3 so as to increase rating atleast by 2 points to ensure a berth in higher class of 40-66.
