3.Wind Striker-Win

Wind Striker is best as per pattern handicapping,this half brother to speedy Gold Berg ,Beau Ideal can stage pillar to post victory

Nijlon can place

11.Shoot Out-Win

If We look at DR progression then we can conclude that winner should emerge from top 3

Shoot Out’s Mysore run can be ignored as there was last moment jockey change due to Trevor unable to fulfill his riding engagements,finished a notable second in last run of Summer with same rider,has been kept fit with regular pool exercise and should be frontline contender

Sudha is compulsive slow starter and hence forced to ignore,if it takes level jump then stands good chance 

The Jaguar is well past its prime,getting beaten to lower rated horse in trials

Shivalik Boy has done nothing in its career of 15runs

Roaring Thunder has very poor DR,is a morning glory,works well in trials and fails in race

2.Turf Tactics-Win

Turf Tactics after running suggestive run in higher class is well rested ,well prepared and is expected to run a good race 

Rapid Advance qualifies on pattern handicapping,should be in contention

Balian looses out on numbers but trainer has this great knack of improving his horses by leaps and bounds

Cherie Amour who is reject of Vijay Mallya  has dropped significantly in handicap,needs to improve a lot to make any decisive impact here

11.Sterling Role-Win

Sterling Role is now pitched in right distance at attractive handicap to make a strong impact on final out come of the race 

Interflora no doubt is best as per class,will carry public purse for obvious reasons,distance may be sharp

Dagobert is bred for speed,at this weight in this tough set cannot sustain till end

6.Aayan-Win

Jersey Wonder qualifies on failed fav making quick re-appearance with better saddle support in same class with almost same handicap,mile may be bit tough for it

Aayan is perfect mile horse,had a good lung opener in hands of work jockey and now should run a very good race 

Sagrada took massive jump in DR in last run,working very well and should be in contention,long lay off factor will have its toll against horses with run benifit

Spirit And Truth is best on DR,jockey is huge negative ,if intended can upset at massive odds

Festive Cheer is short of preparatory gallop wihich is not the winning pattern noted earlier

4.Tzar-Win

Tzar was mighty impressive winner in Summer,looks very fit as evident by pleasing trackwork,should be the one to be beaten

Romantic Helen won well last time but DR it earned in it was not very good

Summerhill has oodles of class,can surprise anyday it want

Lightning Strikes is not adequately prepared

8.Star Nijinsky-Win

First classic of the season

Star Ninjinsky which won Deccan Derby has impeccable record and DR for this distance,winner has beat it

Watchmyscript who is unbeaten over mile till now blew the field last time and as result got phenomenal jump in DR,will seriously test class of Star Nijinsky

Antananarivo will not sustain over mile,final fast trackwork is not impressive

Prosperine who lost to Star Nijinsky at Mysore is best suited for 1400mts

Anantara failed in Mysore in terms race

Escala lacks class and ridden by ordinary rider fit for handicap races

Shanban Aari And Flirting lack class
