Bangalore 4th July

Hi all,

Following are my views for bangalore races to be held on saturday.

Race1:Mexican wave(7)/Diamond shower(6)

Mexican wave could not get free run in straight,yet managed to finished a notable second in its last run and should return as winner.Diamond shower is in forward condition,working well and can upset.Zangi based on its previous can place.Valiant bid is non winner till date,prepared well but one never knows the intention of trainer Karan singh.

Race2:Pelikano(3)/Mystic star(4)

Ignore last run of Pelikano,has very good chance in this distance.Mystic star has been finishing on well over mile,extra 200mts will be to its advantage,has good chance to upset.Spandau ballet was impressive winner in lower class,may not be able to make any impression in this higher class.One showed lot of promise as youngster but failed to deliver on too many occasions.Orientation is best suited for 1600mts,hence ignored.

Race3:Nectar crown(3)/Lush lashes(5)

Nectar crown had good run in hands of rookie in its last race,now entrusted to strong rider,working well,will be there at busy end along with Lush lashes who disappointed twice but in this set looks very good.Lone ranger has +ve change of shoes but at best can place .Black beauty has good chance to place at good odds.

Race4:Attaturk(9)/Yes i can(12)

Attaturk has good chance at this handicap in this set and can be good each way bet.Win Prettybaby may need mile to prove her worth,can be ignored for win.Yes i can's track on july 01 merits attention where it was seen beating Panchakshari{R 66} by 8 lengths,now with aids of "TS" can upset.Hurricane bolt is working well but long lay off,-ve change of shoes and jocjey are big put offs.Kingdom of heavens cleared maiden in good style,working very well,but top weight may mar its chances,at best can hope to place.Spark of solitaire has bad gate manners,has improved as evident by two gate practises,but again top weight will be stopper.

Race5:Glorybound(6)/Darktan(8)

Glorybound has good chance to register a long due win in this poor set.Vayuputra with +ve change of shoes and jockey may be fancied but may need more ground to win,indeed it won a race earlier over 1100mts,but its last few runs suggest it warms up late.Darktan has good chance to upset.Fly for sure is still a non winner,one gets the feeling that it finished easy in its last run,now with strong saddle assistence may do well.Another Destiny is running after long lay off without adequate preparation,was beaten in final track wrk,ignore.

Race6:Portobello(2)/Flower alley(9)

Ignore last fews runs of Portobello has very good chance to win and can fight it out with Flower alley who ran along with superior horses and in this set of Non winners has good chance to win.Bruckners last run was good but one gets the feeling it may need more distance at this track.

Race7:Greenbro(7)/Coorg Honey(3)

Greenbro has won handsomely last time,continues to be in fine nick and should win this race.Senora Encima may be fancied ahead of Greenbro owing to his forward in stable mate Sansperils race but it failed to impress in 20-45 class,hence ignored for win,same is the case with Rugged beauty.Spark Of Bronte cleared maidens easily but may not be able to make any impression in this set.Coorg Honey is entrusted to new rider and if he can handle it properly then may place.Colonel Duff can place.Desdemona will need this run to get accustomed to conditions here.

Race8:Mint(10)/Monarchial(2)

Bad race.My first pick is Mint who can surprise in this set,can upset.Monarchial will relish this distance and can place.Neel gagan is worked up regularly and can be in contention.Aspiring seven has right credentials to place.Kemrock is non winner even after 17 runs,hence ignored.


Daysbest:Greenbro(7-7)

Double:Glorybound(5-6)/Greenbro(7-7)

Places:Yes i can,Darktan,Colonel Duff,Monarchial

Have a nice day
