1.Dancing Prince -Win

DANCING PRINCE over this trip with top rider looks good

ORLA  is drawn favorably to hit front but jockey does not inspire 

SNOW BLAST can be ignored due to long lay off and no trackwork

CARRALISA changed tactics to sprint in last race after removal of KNB,looks tough as pace will be hot here

HUNAYN is making handicap debut with ordinary rider

3.Don Corleone -Win

DON CORLEONE was too good winner in last run,is not a regular morning worker hence lack of trackwork can be negated

HIDDEN SOUL is pitched in shorter trip after last win

SHIVALIK SHINE is tested in trials by Suraj himself

GOLDEN BELLE now gets positive switch in saddle support after getting conditioned in hands of apprentice rider

FURIOUS N FAST {Ex Never Say Never} was beaten to superior Eternal Inspiration last run,recent trials are very impressive,stands decent chance 

THUNDER DOWN UNDER was under stress in last race,may need more improvement

FIRENZE ran in hopeless chase of too good Quixotic,will run a much improved race now

TREVELYAN’s last run can be ignored due to interference,working well thereafter

SILVER BEAUTY is best as per class terms,can carry even top weight in this set

COURTSHIP veered out badly at Malakpet in Fillies Stakes,now runs with Blks

SAWGRASS was beaten easily by Silver Beauty earlier,lacks class

MERABELLA which  started its career with handicap races may receive some support for its second against Germanicus but it has failed too many times when fancied

CRITICS CHOICE is pitched in terms race for the first time against quality sprinters,Trophy is presented by the owner himself!!!

DANCING PRANCES is a dominant sprinter who over this trip has won 12 times out of 17 times

CONGRESSIONAL is more comfortable over 1400mts

ADAM which won sprinters championship at Invitational weekend in Chennai for some reason always encounters traffic problem,since field is small here one can hope that it will get clear passage
