Race1
Sl	Name	DR	Comments
5	SANTA MONICA	687	Heavily whipped last time as it was rusty,seems to have improved a lot as evident by pleasing trials,should run a good race now over this distance
1	HIDDEN POWER	659	Distance will be out of compass,shud be ignored inspite of good dr
2	GALIAT	635	No doubt a classic horse but weight is proving to be stopper
4	POWER DRIVE	619	Will set pace for stable mate Galiat
3	AUDACIOUS	570	Jockey A Imran Khan was cautioned to be more vigorous in first run of season but negative shoes,No Trackwork

Selections

5.Santa Monica

2.Galiat

Analysis

3 out of 5 are from Netto Stables,such has been the standard of racing at this centre off late. Galiat will be hot market fancy but it has to ward of challenge of Santa Monica who seems to have improved a lot, has impressive previous form to go by.

It is interesting to note here that Galiat and Santa Monica ran only once and in that run Galiat Finished short head second to Rock With u carrying weight of 52 whereas SantaMonica finished 4 lengths behind carrying 60 kgs. Now Galiat is at 60 whereas Santa Monica at 56.5.

My Final vote goes to Santa Monica

Selections

7.Spirited

3.Desert Bloom

1.Take Stock

Analysis

Initially i dropped spirited because it lost in lowest class as fav but was forced to recheck it when found other runners were very hopeless and I found that Spirited lost to Homely Helo which went on to win 3 continous race thereafter.So Spirited which has good lung opener over 1000mts last time has very good chance to win now over this step up distance
