Kolkotta and Hyderabad 25.11

KOLKOTTA

 

Race-1: 7. Toronero

THAR would have been first choice but negative shoes tempers enthusiasm. TORONERO ran on suggestively last time, stables go all out with limited number of horses they have under their charge.

Race-2: 1.Eastwood

Fast pace would aid EASTWOOD who returns to handicap class, runs first time after the break but earlier won in a First Up Run.

Race-3: 4. Divya Shakthi

DIVYA SHAKTHI could carry her Monsoon form to Winter, has beaten most of the horses here.

Race-4: 8. Success

Ratings favor SUCCESS and SHABELLE, latter may struggle on a new track. Queenstown can fill in runner up berth.

Race-5: 6.Stockbridge

STOCK BRIDGE is tough to oppose. THE PROTECTOR can stay on well to grab second paying place.

Race-6: 4. Magnite

MAGNITE ran easy last time which was first appearance after a setback, can improve in hands of this jockey who shares a winning partnership with the horse. EMBER GLOW a winter specialist is an ideal candidate for 1-2 spot. 

Hyderabad

 

Race-1: 3. Star Racer

COMING HOME runs after a break of 90 days, FLAMINGO FLAME has failed 17 times in this C&D, CHAR EK CHAND drops in class on favorable winter track but distance will be sharp, DIFFERENT may target a 5yrs group later. STAR RACER is not sighted in trials but numbers are decent and I am willing to take a risk on him as he is better than most of the runners on 31/10, 22/10 and 2/10 lines collectively, hope stables extend him to best ability instead of treating this as "Also ran" type. 

 

Race-2: 2. Hugh Carpet

HUGH CARPET responded well to removal of Tongue Strap,  looks ahead of handicapper.  MR CARPET and HOPING CLOUD can fill in remaining berths.

Race-3: 2. The Image

THE IMAGE is hard to oppose. DRD is facing younger horses this time but numbers and One-2-One relative handicapping of 7th August emboldens me to fancy it for a place spot. DYANOOSH stood flat footed last time, this run should be watched. BANGOR ON DEE won last winter season, Jockey hasn't won for this stables in 9 pairings. 

Race-4: 2. True Marshall

TRUE MARSHALL won emphatically and in current form an encore looks a formality. UNMATCHED a winter specialist appeals for a place spot. CANDY GIRL is speedy and from favorable barrier will try to paint the town red from the word GO, would be surprised if she fails to grab a place on board.

 

Race-5: 1.Ballerina

BALLERINA, only 3years old in fray,  is better than most of the runners on 2nd October line. SOLOIST is default place contender.  AMRYA looks sharp in trials and can gain a place berth.

 

Race-6: 1.Lifes Song

LIFES SONG got ticks in all boxes, hard to oppose. BRIAR RIDGE owing to successful Horse-Jockey partnership looks default place contender. MALIBU loves to roll freely in front on winter track, can end up in a place berth. 

Race-7: 3. Top in Sky

TOP IN SKY should be respected for Trainer-Jockey partnership high success rate, last few runs were just also ran types. ABOVE THE LAW will end up in place this time
