Mumbai 27.11 Ante post

 ANTE POST SELECTIONS

{Lot of options in all races, can work out the best bet after opening odds} 

Race-1: 6.House of Lords

GOLDIVA failed to show any initial speed, last run started slowly and this run is best watched. GOLDEN LIONESS ,a heavy built horse showed poor turn of foot, may be fancied in the handicap debut. NOSTALGIC appears to be best suited for 1400mts. HOUSE OF LORDS is better than Golden Lioness on 15/8 and 5/10 line, has best numbers, can burn both end successfully. LADY DIVA is full sister to TIMELESS, did not relish short straight of Pune, may improve over long straight of Mahalakshmi.

 

Race-2: 1.Dragoness

PHANTA was a winner of lower grade, timings are deceptive as all horses clocked fast timings on that day. HELA has a clean sheet in Mumbai, not placed in 9 appearances here. ALMAS has speed but drawn wide in hands of an apprentice rider. DRAGONESS improved gates manners after removal of Cross Nose Band, looks sharp in trial. MOMENT OF MADNESS loves Mahalakhsmi, can dart in front from a favorable draw and may end up in place money.

 

Race-3: 4. Kings Best

Horses rated below 39 can be ignored. OUTLANDER is a sprinter as his dam was winner of Breeder Sprint Cup at Keeneland. FINCH responded well to tying of Tongue strap, repeats in same C&D. KINGS BEST had an excuse in last run, beat FORTUNATE SON last season, has leading claims. LORD FENCIA a heavy built horse won a lower grade of maidens easily, has to change tactics over 7f here which the horse may not relish. JACK BUAER is consistent.

 

Race-4: 5. Mojito

A case can be made for many here. SUPERNATURAL the winner of Bangalore Derby has excellent record at home center. MOJITO is in red hot form and commands prime respect in the handicap debut. PETRONIA struggled at Pune but can bounce back in this favorable conditions. PRIDES ANGEL is in rousing form. RAFFAELO earned better TR than PRIDES ANGEL while finishing second in R104, Jockey has a cent percent winning record with this horse.

 

Race-5: 8. Portofino Bay

MIRANDA is related to good type Multitude & Remus, looks good in morning trials. NEW DIMENSION is related to EXOTIQUE, inherits speed and will be a leading contender. PORTOFINO BAY is foal of successful DAM, best suited for this trip.

 

Race-6: 1.Eleos

A 17 horses field where as many as 12 horses have no chance whatsoever. ELEOS ,offspring of a classy Dam stayed on well over 10f last time, drop in trip suits. MYSTERIOUS GIRL is a perfect miler who won well in last outing but this time has penalty to beat and a wide draw to deal with. RIGHT TO PRIVACY, a late debutant drops in class, well placed on scales. MOUNT SINAI ran on freely with aids of Tongue Strap last time, will extend best in this lower class. WILLY WONKA rallied on well, can land a place berth if any of the above falter.

 

Race-7: 1.She is on Fire

SHE IS ON FIRE is back on her fav hunting ground , leading claims. PERIWINKLE failed to deliver in a target class last time. DAGGER'S STRIKE has best TR in the set but failed 9 times in this class, clean sheet at Mumbai. AME should  retire. 

 

Post odds final Short listed betting Options

R1) 7 can be layed as it requires 1400, 5 does not appeal for Win either, will back 4 or 6 whichever remains below 8/1

R2) 1 will win easily only if takes a level jump, why take risk instead back 7 for place @2/1

R3) lot of money coming on 12!! But I am still confident on 4w@3/1 but need to hedge it with 5w@5/1 to cover investment*Edited*

R4) 5 is good but not worth below Evens as race is very tough, 2pl can be backed if 5 odds does not reach Evens *Edited*

R5) First timers so by default lay 7, 8pl looks very good ,  there is some murmur on 9, keep an eye 

R6) 1@11/10 is a steal

R7) 1@8/1 is the best each way(1:3 Ratio) of the day
