Bangalore 19th May-->Pointers and selections

Bangalore has witnessed sudden downpour on Saturday evening.Card is long,well filled and highly competitve in nature.


Race1:Royal Salute(1)

Royal Salute won commandingly in its last run,should easily pull it off inspite of top weight from tiring Arziki and Dance With Me.Youre Gorgeous can sneak in place at longer odds.

Race2:Royal Sarot(11)

Shemrock Lady is tracking impressively but will need this run.Arch Duchess and Royal Sarot emerge as main contender,latter is improving with every run,pleasing in trials and can win from former.Strike The Stars can upset at longer odds.

Race3:Lagoona(3)

Nabisco is best of lot but stablemate StrengthAndWonder gets better rider.Lagoona has easily beaten stimulate which won impressively on opening day and on that count gets first preference.Diamonds Quest can sneak in place.

Race4:Stately Dance(13)

Bad race.Velvetine,Sareeta and Street Of Fire can be market fancy due to jockey declared but they dont impress on form,the one which can upset is Stately Dance due to fitness.

Race5:Samara Sun(9)

Samara Sun with blks on will be different customer this time,can stage pillar to post victory.Mr Capre will breath fire on its neck thru out.Wind Of Soul qualifies as upset option.Field Marshall has class and required initial speed but only one track work indicates that its just running for the feel of conditions.

Race6:Immense(4)

Machavellinism is class better but lost blood vessel in Indian Derby,much depends on its fitness.Immense performs well in heavy conditions and as such emerges as main contender to lift this race.MAM has three runners in this graded race but none of them have any notable recent form.

Race7:Bebo(5)

The Guardian is not sighted  in tracks or pool,failed in same age group twice.Bebo showed good turn of foot in last but one run in same class,active in pools,will be in contention.Indian Pride has developed habit of slow start hence cannot be trusted

Race8:Raphire(2)

Raphire is back to its winning class,fit as evident by pleasing trackwork,can make a race out of it.Brabus Speed is best on form and numbers but not in tracks or pool after its last run on Dec 1.Cirque Du Soliel won impressively in lower class,is in fine nick and should be in thick of action

Race9:Icelander(8)

Ice lander is tracking well,belongs to most unreliable stables,can win if there is intention to do so.
Ultimate Fantasy can place

Days Best:Samara Sun(5-9)

Bangalore opening day-->comments and selections

Races run according to merit,cricket played honestly,politicians not indulging in corruptions and Cat turning vegetarian is MYTH

Be careful before taking any call.

First day of the season,needless to say caution is the key point.Neil Darashah and Y Srinath combo has decent chance of scoring double.

Race1:Sue Nevell(11)

Can be interesting race.Azetic Star is showing lot of speed in trackworks but not in tracks for last 12 days,cannot take confident call in its debut run

Noble and Nice has been prepared well,looks fit and should be in thick of action.

Tony Montanao is good in tracks and can place at longer odds.

Cruise Clear is running for first time without adequate preparation,will need this run.

Sue Nevell ran impressively in its debut run behind too good Cash My way,working well and has very good chance to win.

Race2:Ice Cream(3)

Cool Hand after getting liberal handicap  reduction of 3kgs inspite of finishing close fourth in higher class is back to its winning class,worked up well,but beaten in final trackwork by same class horse ,outermost box  and whipless rider are added worries.

Ice Cream now runs with CNB after long lay off,working well in tracks,facing weaker set,can upset

Thunder Blitz is regular in pools,looks fit,should place.

Volt runs after long lay off,first run after being gelded,ignore

Triple Victory is running in class down,not impressive trackwork as it is  getting beaten by lower rated horse in final trackwork

Silver Street  has no form.

Magnamous warms up late but in this set can place at lucrative odds.

Race3:Magical Spell(3)

Race is restricted to Magical Spell and Cash my way,former is too good and should easily get pass thru front running Cash My Way.Fantastic Strike or Amazing Bay can fill in remaining berth.

Race4:Supreme(8)

This is confusing race as worthy contenders are not in tracks or pool.

Divine Deliverance may not sustain this distance

Fire Light has come down to its winning class,but not in tracks or pool

Cow Boy cal is working well but runs in steel shoes which is not the winning pattern.

Formula One  is regular in tracks,may recieve some support due to notable second in its last run but it is bad carrier of top weight.

Sumitamo may find this distance bit sharp,can place

Supreme is not sighted in tracks or pools,ran good forward races in higher class,can tackle this set,only worry is fitness

Race5:Striking(2)

Striking,Perfect Soul and Archie emerge as main contenders.

Striking has beaten Perfect soul which was installed as hot fav,has tremendous turn of foot and should take lot of beating.

Perfect Soul after failing as fav won impressively in its next run,last run was impressive in graded race,will be in serious contention,has to beat striking.

Archie impressed as debutant in Mum,difference of track will have huge effect.

Refreshed can place at longer odds.

Cheque discounter has outside chance to place at lucrative odds.

Race6:Successor(3)

Class 1 race with many worthy contenders.

Successor is showing lot of promise in tracks,can do well in hands of this ace jockey.

Chulbul Pandey is ridden by average jockey,pace of race may deter its chances.

Secret Punch is well placed and should place,can upset also.

Cecil likes to come off the pace thru rails side which may not be possible in hot paced large field race.

Cape Ferrat can place at longer odds

Jersey Girl faces tough higher class,has tough job on hand

Race7:Bronzino(2)

Charlatan has been running consistently over 6 furlongs,in this step up distance had chance but first run after gelding,hence ignored

Bronzino is working well but belongs to unreliable stables,can win.

Triumpant can place at longer odds

Watch out for market trends of Laguna Beach,can surprise on debut if in odds below 7/1

Stimulate is working well,failed as fav in debut run,at best can place

Race8:Dance of General(11)

Dance of General has some form to support in this set of non performers,can pull it off from Jewel Lady and Tower Of Hanoi

Days Best:Successor(6-3)
