Primary Choice:Dazzle N Daze(9)-Win

Dazzle N Daze has dropped a lot ,last run was suggestive and can win over its pet distance

Diablo is knocking door,weight seems to be a stopper

Aeolus Maximus qualifies on pattern handicapping

Rest does not appeal

4	DEEP DIVER	623
2	SUPREME REGIME	607

Primary Choice:Nascar(2)-Win

Nascar got outstanding DR,will come like  rocket from the gates and lead by blocks,has not gone over this distance earlier but there is no reason to believe that it cannot sustain till end over 1200mts atleast there is no earlier record of that

Merchant of Venice is in great heart,fast pace will mar its chances

Deep Diver is turning into eternal bridesmaid

6	OTHELLO	450
9	GERANIUM	0

Primary Choice:Domination(3)-Win

Domination finished behind Yanna Rascala and Cyclone on Derby day,timing of the winner was better than class1 winner that day,stands excellent chance over this step up distance

His Master’s Vice was installed as fav in debut run at Mumbai which was won by Cheerleader,does not appeal on lackluster trackwork noted

Brabourne was withdrawn last time,tested by Suraj himself in final fast trackwok,will be interesting to see if Suraj Narredu extends against DOMINATION trained by Mallesh Narredu

Geranium is working well but facing tough set on debut

9	PALACE GIRL	636
6	SUNNY SEA	627
3	BENEZEER	626

Primary Choice:Victorio(4)-Win

Victoria was excellent winner last time,should be persisted with

Rock N Rio is not extending best in hands of whipless rider

Charging Tigress is back to its comfort zone in terms of distance but looks like it is eyeing demotion

Free Speech is best as per class terms but runs sparingly{nearly 10months long layoff},no trackwork noted

Benezeer was strongly fancied by me last time,was looking rusty in paddock parade,runs within a week again

Vision of Romance is speedy but facing younger horses

Primary Choice:Honey Dew(2)-Win

Isinit comes on top due to forward run over this distance in R77,has failed in lower class to carry weight,may place if opts for sprint tactics

Honey Dew makes handicap debut with Blks in Div 2 of class4,can’t get any easier than this!!!!

The Giver after easy debut over 1000mts can improve now over this step up distance

4	LOAFER	FR
9	SHEER BELIEF	FR

Primary Choice:House of Commons(2)-Win

Sherlock runs for first time after gelding

House of Commons was punished mercilessly in debut by its jockey who opted for start to finish tactcis,recent trials are very impressive and can do well if ridden offpace

Thor of Asgard made its debut in Million race where it was not seen extending well,gets positive switch in saddle support in relatively weak set now

Primary Choice:Elysee(5)-Win

All first timers

Camaflouged is half brother to MERABELLA ,distance will be sharp

Cherry Blossom has been given easy preparation,may need this run

Elysee is eldest of the lot,has been scrubbed for response in trials

God’s Own is rusty in trials

5	B FIFTY TWO	557

Primary Choice:Azzurro(2)-Win

Main event of the day

Costa Del Sol who at one stage was first line contender to pick Indian Derby has been a disappointment all thru

Azzurro won authoratively last time and should be in front line contender

Columbiana is suspect over this distance

The Unicorn is no mean horse,last run beaten by Azzurro in final furlong,will be the one to come out of blocks first and challenge eventual winner to beat him
