9.Angel bell-Win

Bottom to up approach is used here as there are many younger horses and one receiving weight have advantage

Winner of lower class races are ignored

First horse which qualifies is last time winner Pfeifer,its final fast trackwork raises doubts over its fitness hence forced to ignore

Angel bell is very speedy,drawn favourably in innermost box on this no false rails day,can win inspite of negative shoe change

Time is Luck is speedy but may I repeat may falter at all important end

Picture perfect improved in last run but it may sacrificed for stablemate Bryon Bay who will struggle to carry top weight in this fast paced race

8.Dancing Farah-Win

Why Suraj is declared to ride Kireeti,ran in longer distance and now pitched in shorter trip in a field consisting of quality sprinters

Rajkumar won on last derby day,this highly unreliable horse is always a danger

Dancing Farha showed winner in next outing pattern in last run,should be strong contender

Red Express runs are dubious as evident by warnings given by stewards for poor handling,what better day to excel than this D Day

Western Express was impressive winner in race no 83,stables will go all out on this d day

Par Excellence was seen flying at fag end of race in R131,gets strong saddle assistance now

Catherine was very very impressive winner,suspect to stay over this extended trip

Egyptian Wind is on roll,now facing quality field of class 2,will find it very tough

8.Columbus-Win

There is this way of deciding “Weight” of a race which in this case says that winner willcarry less than 57kgs

Kolor looses out on that factor and also on the count that It knows only front style running and may falter out

That’s My Darling finally overcame its tendency of slow starts,is live threat here

Columbus is speedy,should not be ignored at this weight

Rest does not augur required  confidence due to their staying capability and inherent class

Chal Dhannu chal at bottom weight may attract some support

7.Rigolletto-Win

Derby race

Instincts instead of facts n data  may get you more winners in this type of races

Conventional handicapping thought process

First look for winner among colts {Hope I don’t sound misogynist here }

Out of it ignore local horses { Hope I don’t sound pessimist here}

Out of it first prefer South Indian horses { Hope I don’t sound racist here}

Dragon is final entry,latest spurts suggest it is serious but can wishes convert into reality,only time will tell,at this stage hard to ignore it

Mogadishu is the one which merits strong attention due to its brilliant 3^rd in Bangalore derby,only worry is travel and another 1.6 mile race within fortnight..Boy that’s something too much for asking

Now for Mumbai horses

 Rigolletto stands out and should win this prestigious event
