No response is also a response!!
BTC and professionals have adopted a cautious approach evident by low class races and small cards.
Race-1: ZAYYARA (2)
This is a lowest possible grade race. Class-5 horses lack closing finish and also old form does not hold good hence preference should be for class droppers and horses having decent recent Speed and Time form ratings and fitter horses. For sprint races in Bangalore outer drawn horses have little chance hence ignoring them. TYAARA an average bred filly has to carry top weight. ZAYYARA finished a close 3rd in debut, best suited for 1200mts. MYSTICAL QUEEN has best speed numbers but drawn wide. EMBOSOM though long in tooth has credentials to finish in place.

Race-2: STALINGRAD (5)
This is a 1300mts race which is neither a pure sprint nor a Route trip. Preference should be given to well-weighted leaders/stalkers with a good speed numbers, again inner drawn horses will have a better chance. IMPERADOR is a well-bred class-3 prospect gelding but reappears without any preparation. ADORNMENT had an excellent chance in this sprint but drawn wide, lose all chances if unable to sit in a pace stalking position. VIBRANT QUEEN tried a sprint tactics at Mysore but failed, has limited burst of speed. STALINGRAD looks to be in great shape as evident by pleasing trials and should be strongly involved. QUEENDOM has won a mock race recently, makes handicap debut at decent mark, since both runs of career were poor treating this run as a WATCH run.

Race-3: ZEPHYRINE(2)
Class 5 sprint race. Preference should be for fitter horses with sprinting or pace stalking abilities drawn in inner draws. Class Droppers that top in Speed and Time form ratings should be the top pick. WINDCLEAVER, a decent bred is never shown in morning trials, Whip-less Jockey and lack of initial speed dents his chances further. ZEPHYRINE with couple of runs under her belt is the most matured among her co-age contestants, she has the ability to be with pace. AGRIMA is clearly a 1400mts horse, has won a mock race on 18th April but not active in trials thereafter, Jockey Trevor indeed has task in hand to place this horse with no speed to be with pace in initial stages of race.

Race-4: THRILL OF BRAZIL (1)
This is a class-4 race over 1400mts {Extended Sprint}. Compulsive front runners or plodders, horses with no speed drawn in wider draws, horses with no Speed/Time Form rating consistency can be ignored. THRILL OF BRAZIL repeats in same C&D working very well, despite wide draw can easily stay with pace and should be able to handle a lenient penalty. EL ALAMEIN performs well in Summer, attained competitive mark, place looks good. GANDOLFINI is a lethargic type. SHE RULES lost at gates in last run, recent trackwork pattern reveals she is still remains slow start suspect.

Race-5: BUREVESTNICK(1)
This is a sprint race for 3yrs old maiden horses, only 3 in the field of 9 horses have race experience. We need to focus on speed oriented pedigree horses and trials. Trainers intent also matters in this type of races. BUREVESTNICK showed the ability to sprint in debut run, eye catching recent trials and top Jockey booking make this colt the top pick. LEGACY FIELD has impressed in gates and fast works, may be find this distance sharp. COUNTRY'S MCQUEEN has stamina leaning pedigree. DEEP RESPECT, the only ride of the top Jockey has strong stamina influence. PORTIEUX does not appeal on the preparation model.

Race-6: EAGLE EYES (2)
This is a Class-3 1400mts race. We need to focus on horses weighted between 55-58kgs that have finishing consistently in Top-3 in this class. Pure Sprintes, Plodders, horses with no speed drawn in outer draws should be ignored. EAGLE EYES earned an excellent Time form Rating for impressive win in last run, outer draw may not be an issue as colt can stay close to pace, top pick. TOLKEIN was fancied for a place spot in Malakpet Derby, well-prepared and should be in contention. WINFIELD performs well in Summer, placed first time over this C&D. MOON STAR won well at start of last Summer season but has been struggling since then.

Race-7: HAZEL(2)
If Stalingrad {R2-5} wins then by Division theory all horses except for bottom 2 horses qualify. ZILFEE from Mysore is an average bred, top weight will have its toll. HAZEL, a speedy filly will shoot like a rocket from innermost draw, will be hard to catch. ROCKING STAR, winner of last start has appeared in a mock race but not given any fast work thereafter. LARISSA is blazing tracks, failed fav in last run over mile and this drop in distance suits but need to be up with pace.
