Bangalore 18th july selections

Hi all,

inspite of my poor understanding of Bangalore races iam still putting up my selections.

Race1:Star Presence(7)/Feelit Enjoyit(6)

Star Presence ran easy in stable mate race,now with +ve switch of shoes merits attention,can raise winning flag.Mercutio will be market fancy but its previous runs suggests it warms up late.Leopoldo is working well but running after a gap of 160 days,it may win,but that thing cannot be said confidently.Incredible is not prepared well,but is well bred,progeny of Burdenofproof have done well when fresh and do like soft going. Feelit Enjoyit ran easy run in its debut,fully extended track wrk suggests it will be tried,hence place is certain. Alluring is working well but again running after long lay off,hence ignored.Moment Of Truth has improved a lot after two easy runs and can place at good odds.


Race2:Fantabulous Hero(9)/Leading lady(5)

Fantabulous Hero has good chance to win again.Leading lady comes top in contention but is running after 6months,it has been prepared very well but still long lay off factor is too strong to be ignored.Pretty N Fast is non winner till date,lethargic slow starter,at best can place due to jockey merit.Megajoy is carrying top weight,cannot win,at best can place.Isinbayeva lost his way in betting last time,will not make amends immediately,can be ignored for win.Senna is non winner for last 3 years,showed some zest in last run,but not sighted in track after run,can be ignored.

Race3:Bucephalas(2)/Captain's Lover(4)

Captain's Lover final track is too good to be ignored,has been prepared very well,can win in its debut,but i do not prefer first run horses hencewould opt for Bucephalas who is knocking the door and should be in front line contention along with Virtouso whose last run was too bad to be believed and is capable of reversing that.Cinnamon Rose is also well prepared but first run.

Race4:Mark Of Gibraltar(6)/Jerseypride(5)

In my view nothing seperates Mark Of Gibraltar and Jersey pride,i prefer former due to impressive preparation.Jerseypride will be in strong contention,hence good win/shp bet.Rimpuche will place.Sugar ray may be fancied due to advantage in handicap,but looks very difficult on relative merit when compared with above two.


Race5:Goodcompanion(1)/Ziaos(2)

Goodcompanion comes top in contention,now running in demotion,but its sole win has been in 1400mts,will put his best here,should be good each way bet.Ziaos with +ve change of shoes will lead all the way till being caught in final furlong,place looks certain.Whisper valley finished unextended 4th in its last outing,now with better saddle assistence can hope to upset,place looks good.Satinwood may be fancied due to jockey,failed miserably in last few runs,has beaten non jobbers in mysore,cleared maidens beating horses none of which have been able to perform well after that,can be ignored for win.Stagelight has failed twice in same age group,now with +ve change of shoes will be fancied,looks difficult for win.

Race6:Another Destiny(7)/Vayuputra(11)

Vayuputra comes top in contention,steel shoes are -ve indiation,yet looks very good for place.Another destiny displayed amazing turn of foot in last run,has good chance to register another win here.Perfect analysis is sure to place.Poetic if fancied can be ignoredfor win.

Race7:Retro Queen(6)/Worth A Million(3)

Bad race.Much will depend on which trainer is going for double.If Loknath manages to win race either on Leadinglady or Zios then Darktan will be on job,same is the case with Inaytulla who if wins a race on Good companion will put Damgood in front line contention.However going by merit i prefer Retroqueen and Worth a million.


Daysbest:Bucephalas(3-2)
