Mumbai 25th Feb

Hi,

Following are my views for todays Mumbai races.

Race1	Ratings	Comments
5 .Blau Himmel	481	Final track very impressive
4 .Secret Magic	478	Non Winner,has chance to run close to winner
10.Final Attack	394	Aided with Blks,can place
3 .River Divine	383	Poor runs,aided with TS and Blks,better saddle assistence

Race is restricted to Blau Himmel and Secret Magic,former is impressive in tracks and hence gets first preference.River Divine is working well,can upset.

4 .Saint Vincent	1268	Unruly horse,but best of lot
3 .Cosmopolitan	909	Better saddle assistence may ensure second spot
2 .Star Crusader	599	Merits attention on 5th to Versaki in Pune Derby
1 .Thanda	589	Running apt distance but top weight is stopper

Saint Vincent looks outstanding on basis of its previous runs but one cannot ignore the fact that it was withdrawn as many as 3 times out of 7 runs in its career till date,is very fractious and needs strong saddle assistance,there is a chance for its failure.Star Crusader is the one which can upset.My suggestion would be LAY Saint Vincent and back Star Crusader for Place.

Race3

2 .Ocean Emperor

5 .Amouresque

1 .Arisen Star

Ocean Emperor is impressive in tracks and may win.

10.Seen It All	611	Impressive winner clocking sub 12 for last 200mts
7 .Alohamora	538	Can place at longer odds in this set
1 .Hunter Bay	526	Weight will be stopper this time
3 .Royal Gesture	526	Weak saddle assistence will mar its chances
6 .Insite Soul	500	Can be ignored
9 .Red Chili	462	Not in tracks can be ignored
2 .Titan	441	Tracking very very impressively

Tricky race.On basis of timing clocked Seen It All is cut above rest but that was in 5 years group,same cannot be expected in this open age group.Hunter Bay won well last time but that was purely due to great handling of Richard Huges,it tends to get weakened,hence win option can be ruled out.Titan lies way down the rating table for the simple reason that it did not run true its potential in its last run in Pune,is working very very impressively and can wire this field with easy lead.Titan for win is my choice and Alohamara for place.
