Hyderabad Monday 15th Feb

Sunday was very bad.Surprisingly some of the horses which were fancied by this blog were quoted very low.Did not expect City of Destiny to run at 80/100 nor did expect Secret Legend and Iron cross to run at money back odds.Author of blog is inclined towards longer odds and hence if any of the selections are installed as fav pls ignore it

Race1
Sl	Name	DR
5	CAROLINA MOON	583
2	ALAMEDA	569
4	VIJAY VAISHNAVEE	569
1	WINJOY	555

5.Carolina Moon-Win

Carolina Moon is youngest of lot but facing conflict of interest with stablemate Alameda who is entrusted to main rider,but since Alameda is repair case one can discount its chances

VV cannot sustain after mile

Winjoy is oldie who remains zestful but will make its move only when stablemate runs out of gas

Race2
Sl	Name	DR
6	I AM RARE	586
1	ASTRA	584
4	EXCLUSIVE MONARCHY	582
5	MAJOR DUNDEE	575

6.Iam Rare-Win

Astra is struggling in trials

Exclusive Monarchy improved well in last run after removal of Blks

Major Dundee is due for a win,why this tactics of entrusting to top rider without any trackwork

Iam Rare was interfered in last run,had run good races in Monsoon,can do well here

Race3
Sl	Name	DR
2	EXCLUSIVE WIND	644
1	CHARLIE BROWN	643
5	DREAM VISION	639
7	WITHOUT MAKEUP	634

2.Exclusive Wind-Win

On paper this may look tough race

There are many ways of looking at this race.

In this authors view in a maiden race horses which ran in higher grades are better than horses which ran in same grade.When we say Grade means higher stakes race.Horse is known by stakes it earn.Obivously better horses run in higher stakes race

Exclusive Wind in a career of 5 races ran 4 times in million races,has clear upper hand in this ordinary stakes race

Charlie Brown’s last run was in higher grade but there were only 3 runners in that race

Mano veg too ran in higher stakes race after clearing maidens but there is strong possibility that it may not sustain till end in this race

Race4
Sl	Name	DR
2	BLUE EYED BABE	614
4	THE BLUE	612
3	KIMONO	595
8	KALINDA	595

4.The Blue-Win

Blue Eyed Babe now runs in 4yrs old group after winning twice in 5yrs group

The Blue lost to very good horses in last two races,should win this race

Kimono may find this distance sharp

*******************************************

Race5
Sl	Name	DR
5	WESTERN EXPRESS	625
8	ROCKY HILL	615
7	KIREETI	613
3	RAJKUMAR	607

5.Western Express-Win

Western Express after winning very impressively in race no 83 ran unextended below par in next 3 runs,intentions of stables were evident for that runs as there was no trackwork noticed but now it is regularly tracked clearly indicating that stables are sweet on it this time

Red Express  can place at longer odds

Rocky Hill may or may not try in this higher class

Rajkumar is inconsistent,sometimes it just plants and takes no part in proceedings

Kireeti failed with Suraj

Race6
Sl	Name	DR
4	STRENGTHANDBEAUTY	618
2	FOUND MONEY	611
8	FABULOUS JEWEL	598
1	AZAIBA	592

4.StrengthandBeauty-Win

Strengthandbeauty after running in wrong distances is back to its pet distance with strong rider

Found Money may find distance sharp

Fabulous Jewel’s last run can be ignored due to interference,should place here

Azaiba is down in class after favoured handicap reduction but top weight against some good younger horses

***************************************************

Race7
Sl	Name	DR
1	CITY OF HARMONY	631
5	RAFA	629
3	MIRACLE KING	616
10	ANANTARA	616

1.City of Harmony-Win

Feature event of the day has attracted very good field

Rafa and Anantara  from Bangalore have entered in this race

Rafa who is final entry was too good winner inspite of slow start but unable to understand usage of Blks,don’t they say never change winning combination

Anantara found Top Striker too hard to beat in debut,will try its best here though bit tough

City of Harmony is best horse of hyd,has been prepared for this distance as evident by trials over 6 furlongs,should be the one to be beaten here

Miracle King may be sacrificed for stablemate

2	CATHERINE	663
5	ASTON DOULTON	651
3	ROMANTIC FIRE	650
7	WIND ZOOM	647

2.Catherine-Win

Dash for cash race

Catherine has brilliant speed,was shaping like a winner on derby day before being beaten on post ,should be prime contender

9	SACRIFICE	628

1	GREEN STRIKER	600
7	MATICA	600

1.Green Striker-Win

Golden Angel has numbers but no consistency

Pictur Perfect gets better rider but previous form is not so good

Sacrifice is winner and may opt for handicap reduction

Lavender was notable winner in last but one run but no trackwork

Green Striker is ultra consistent

Matica now entrusted to better rider after easy run,is very speedy but drawn in outermost box
