Mum 20.11

Mumbai racing is truly jewel of Indian racing.As a handicapper we find a consistency in form and class variations.This season starts on rough note but one must be optimistic of things getting better as season settles.

For last years Pune track has improved a lot and can be safely concluded that it is almost like Mumbai track except for the fact that Mumbai track favors horses coming with late run owing to its long straight

7	SHE'S ALL MINE	597
6	KISS FROM A ROSE	553

1.Domination-Win

Domination after running shoulders with better graded horses now makes handicap debut and should be the one to be beaten here

Dishoom’s long absence from track is compensated by two mockraces in September,loses out to Domination if we compare timings of 30^th Jan of last Mumbai season where both run but in different races

Tomahawk makes handicap debut with Blsks,its final trackwork is very impressive,long straight of Mumbai will aid its late finishing tactics

Kookaburra has not revealed its full potential till date,with top saddle support it will go all out but since this is first run after gelding one can ignore it

5.Warlock-Win

Starry Image who was failed fav in last run at Pune is not sighted in trials hence ignored

Super Icon is recent winner,may not extend against younger horses in fray here

While all other 3yrs old have made their handicap debut in class 5 Warlock made debut in class 4,on that factor and recent trials it becomes obvious choice

6.Devoted Eyes-Win

Alderely Edge runs after long lay off without any preparation,surely this race will be treated as test run for this horse who suffered setback 

Devoted Eyes makes handicap debut in class2,that speaks volumes of its class,should be the one be beaten here

Sydney Harbour displayed fractious tendencies in both starts of Pune

Hidden Soul is in tremendous form,weight and relatively tougher set makes its task a bit harder

Final Encounter is very impressive in trials but lacks class here

4.In My Dream-Win

In My Dream in its career of 4 runs raced in graded race 3 times,stables are not “lucky” whenever their horses are hotly fancied

Batman who is full brother to City Of Harmony is not sighted in tracks which is not the winning pattern,has dropped significantly in handicap and should enter winners circle soon

Carbonara could not do much in short straight of Pune,should run close to In My Dream

8.Allora-Win

Greek Goddess is winner of both starts but now running in Mumbai which does not favor front runners and hence an element of uncertainity

Allora which won by a distance on debut was pitched in strong company in subsequent runs,its sole run at Pune can be ignored as its start was effected,is mighyt impressive in trials and should run a bold race

Abbey failed to do well at its fav centre Pune

Charging Tigress is a Pune specialist horse

Double Nine has ran along very good horses in Mumbai,is placed disadvantegously in innermost box,can upset

Lady Danehill disappointed in last race 

Minstrel Heights loses on class terms of this race which will favor horses making handicap debut in class 3

8.Kitty Hawk-Win

Kitty Hawk who drifted out in debut run at Pune is impressive in workouts,can be contention

Book Theif exploited bottom handicap to win at lucrative odds last time,now a filly conceding weight to same age colts 

Rest does not appeal
