R5: Agostino Carracci/My Treasure/Rhythm Of Nature

R6: Thunberg/King's Ransom/Balenciaga

Race-6: 10. Thunberg

Cracker of a race with many decent well bred horses making debut, Pesi babies have obvious claims but cannot rule out Golden Lioness

Hunar is first foal of speedy Dam Tolerance who was bought by Gaurav Rampal at 22lakhs

Wordsmith merits attention for the fact that two offsprings of Sire won impressively this season

Golden Lioness is full sister to Leopard Rock, has beaten horse rated 97 in final fast work

King’s Ransom is a decent bred belonging to influential owners

Thunberg is first foal of Ice Glacier who won Bangalore Oaks

R1: Malibu/Silver Lining/Kancha

R2: Malaala/Pacific Command/Gurbaaz

R3: Star Babe/Cheltenham/Royal Pal

R4: Survivor/Canterbury/The Akhanda

Race-4: 8. Survivor

Canterbury with Ts ON gave a decent forward run over a mile trip, stables may prefer Everglades as the first choice

Everglades returned Lame in Rno 15, slow started in Rno 150, next run with Blks finished way behind, now better rider

Survivor’s last two runs were in a higher grade, working well and has leading claims in this favourable 7f trip

The Akhanda ran on well last time, can improve further

Carnival Lady failed as fav, will be looking to redeem that losses over extended trip

Lady Di is full sister to Timeless who was a Gr-3 winner over this distance, Sunderji has disappointed, one wonders whether he brought all Donkeys from Mumbai or made Donkeys of punters who always believed that Mumbai horses are better than local Hyderabad horses.

Conclusion: Open race with many contenders. Lady Di would have been first choice but ignoring due to stables and opting for Survivor
