Bangalore 18.02

 A dull insipid card

Race-1: 1.By The Book

By The Book: Drops to lowest class after an improved performance in the last run

War Trail: Handicap debut in the lowest grade, does not impress

Sodashi: Light Weight filly who will be market fancy for obvious reasons, nothing strongly in favor

Commandpost: Has issues of slow starts, has failed twice in this Class-5 Div-2 race

Lightning Flame : Poor formline, T-J is winner less in 22 pairings

Jan Zizka: Distance behind in all runs which includes a lowest class race as well

Stunning Beauty: Failed in a Div-3 race

Ultimate Power: Losing form rapidly and probably should retire

Capital Gain: Failed as a fav in Div-3 race, T-J is 0/0/0/11!!

Je Ne Sais Quoi: Runs after 11 months, different set of equipment than last winning one

Fierce Fighter: Has some form to its credit unlike others in fray here

 

Conclusion: Top 3 in card have some credentials while rest looks just also ran type. By The Brook can get better of market fancy Sodashi

Race-2: 8. Mitsuro

The Inheritor: Facing enquiry for last run, is not well placed on handicap

Belvedere: Bred for sprint, wide draw will hamper his chances of hitting front

Twilight Fame: Improved unexpectedly to land a place gamble at huge odds, has penalty to beat now

Clever Hans: Failed fav with an excuse of interference, has best TR for this trip, T-J is 0/5/1/15

Extraordinary: Will shed handicap to target class-5 later

Rule Of Law: Nothing noteworthy till now

Chiraag: Ridden by ordinary apprentice who could secure only just one shp spot in 20 runs

Mitsuro: Ignore last run due to no track work, CNB On and should run a bold race this time

Perfect Hell : Returned bleeding last time

The King N I: Both runs backward, ignore till it at least beats half of the field once

Capri Girl: Excuse in last run, is best placed on weights in this set

Planetary Joy: Debut in a No Whip Race, second run in hands of a No Whip Jockey

 

Conclusion: Mitsuro appeals most. Capri Girl should be in 1-2.

*******************************************  

Race-3: 6. Mystic Mountain

Almanach: Back to winning class but at a much higher handicap

Lycurgu : Reject of Irfan Ghatala stables and has been struggling

Aferpi: Improved in last run in 6yrs group of lowest class, cannot stay this mile trip

Electric Blue: failed fav of same C&D, has best TR and with Blinkers on this time merits another chance

Tyto Alba: Dropping rapidly but note in 5yrs group in March

Mystic Mountain: decent bred who will relish this mile trip, leading claims in this Handicap class

Infinite Grace: Poor formline

My Vision: Lethargic horse who failed as fav in lowest class

Conclusion: Mystic Mountain and Electric Blue are the shortlisted one, former should expose true form here. Electric Blue is default contender.

*******************************************

Race-4: 6. Philosophy

Ashwa Magadheera: Half brother to Cuban Pete, working well     

Banksy: Dam produced decent 6f horses, change of jockey is perplexing   

Eternal Princess: Aged dam, most probably an educational run here     

Lucky Sun: Dam was a decent 6-7f performer in GB, getting beaten in trackwork   

Luminary Star: First offspring of a Dam who was an average performer at hyd, choice of jky suggest this is also ran race

Philosophy: First foal of Manifold, debut run was eye catching     

Queen Spirit: Dam was 1000G winner at Bangalore, working well     

Sheer Bliss: First foal of an above average performer, also ran type here    

 

Conclusion: Philosophy despite sharper trip appeals most. Queen Spirit may not fetch much for place.

*******************************************          

Race-5: 5.Golden Wings

The Response: Drops to target class with a change of equipment but Jockey!!!     

Thousand Words: Speedy, can stage pillar to post victory in this lower class   

Osiris: Dropped below last winning mark, may target a 5yrs group in March  

Unique Style: Earned better TR than winner in last run but does not appeal with this Jockey

Golden Wings: I fancied him in debut, it won at massive odds 2 runs later, despite crushing penalty appeals

Benediction: Runs after 11 months without any track work    

Morganite: Drop in handicap but still does not appeal in this set   

Aztec Queen : After good lung opener entrusted to top saddle artist, earlier was distance winner of this C&D albeit lower grade   

Lauterbrunnen: Modest bred who finished on second last time as others were not interested

Defining Power: Ran without preparation last time, now regular morning trials and equipment changes

Shubankar: Average bred making debut in hands of a work jockey   

          

Conclusion: Pace of this race will be hot due to presence of 5 front rollers, picking a clear winner is tough but Iam more inclined towards last start winner Golden Wings

*******************************************     

 Race-6: 4.Measure of Time   

Aircraft: Suggestive 4th in debut and now drops in class, keep an eye on race time odds trend

Fun And Laughter: Last run with same jockey was uninspiring, not sighted in trials thereafter

Star Domination: Failed in lower grade of this class at same mark, tough task   

Measure Of Time: Drops to lowest class and has leading claims    

Dawn Rising: Poor form till now, tested with Blinkers this time under a top rider  

Flower Of Paradise: Average bred making debut in hands of a work jockey   

Sky Princess: Runs after a gap of 11 months, light weight filly in second run of her career, best watched

Flaming Orange: Is due for a win but T-J is 0/0/0/21 Altair: best till 1200mts only      

Activated: Weak formline       

          

Conclusion: Measure of Time will be hot fav but does not impress on class factor still prime contender due to poor  field
