R1: 7.Scrupples
Linkin Park has been given light works, Jockey has a poor record in terms race
Noble Ruler failed to impress in Gate Practices though subsequent trials were
good
Thousand Words is a full sibling to Class-2 Sprinter Niobrara, blazing the track in
morning trials
War Chieftain ridden by an ace jockey is not shown in trials
Allamanda who is a full sister to Rhapsody has impressed in gate practices,
distance may be sharp
Scrupples is showing lot of speed in trackwork and stands a decent chance to
raise winning gallop
Conclusion: All first
timers. Scrupples and Thousand Words are expected to be in contention
R2: 1. Baroness
Baroness has speed and will be a different customer this time
Iconic Princess gets negative rider switch hence ignoring despite good TR
Country’s Jewel drops to target class, working well but placed disadvantageously on
class terms
Song and Dance do not appeal on class terms
Altair was withdrawn last time due to fractious behavior in gates, has
best numbers and if given green signal can upset
Conclusion: A Race ideal for
second strings stables to execute their gambles. Baroness looks good, include
Altair in pools
R3: 8. Royal
Blossom
WatchmyStars lost as fav in last run {earned weak TR} makes handicap debut in
modest set but has wide draw to overcome
Smoke The Grass had an easy debut, has scope to improve overextended trip
Royal Blossom is working well and can raise winning gallop in this ordinary set
Conclusion: Most of the
runners except for a few are in backward form. Watchmystars will be hot fav but
may be stunned by debutant Royal Blossom
R4: 6.Sporting
Memories
Sporting Memories last run in 2000Guineas at Chennai can be ignored, well suited for
this 10 furlongs trip and should be a frontline contender
Redoubtable is working very well, earlier beaten by Sporting memories and does
not appeal due to weak saddle assistance
Ansaldo loses out on class terms
Mighty Red is the winner of this Class and Distance last season, will be a
different customer this time and should end up in 1-2
Johnny Bravo likes to bowl out in front and may run out of gas at all important
end
Legendary Princess may play the role of pacemaker for its stablemate Sporting Memories
Conclusion: Sporting
Memories for win and Mighty Red for place appeals in this competitive Race
R5: 6.Cosmic Ray
Multifaceted is highest rated in the terms race but may run out of steam over
this unfavourable 7 furlongs trip
Snowdon is the winner of this race last Year, bit difficult horse and may
struggle with Trevor astride who is riding it for the first time
Dream Catcher falters in Terms race
Shesmyscript does not compare well against Cosmic Ray
Cosmic Ray earned impressive TR in the last run and looks good on all counts
Conclusion: Cosmic Ray has
looks of a winner however has to be wary of Snowdon
R6: 7.Mistletoe
Amalfi Sunrise failed in Class-4, rated low
Amazing Blaze got weak TR in the last win, working well but has a tough task here
Antibes is the progeny of Fond Fantasy and suited well for this 12 furlongs trip, impressed in the final preparatory gallop
Lake Tahoe is full sister to Tassawur, impressed in debut run, second run of
career hence cannot take confident call
Mistletoe has earned impressive TR in both runs of her career, this full sister
to PALLAS can stay this trip
Rambunctious has been well prepared, this full sister to SQAURE THE CIRCLE has
much to prove over this trip
Conclusion: Mistletoe owing
to impressive Time Form Ratings appeals most in this Ladies Derby. Antibes
should be strongly involved as well
R7: 2.Attorney
General
Attorney General has won twice with this Jockey in as many runs and in this class,
looks best of lot
Galvarino was an impressive winner {TR was 7 points ahead of standard TR} but
widest draw , double class promotion and overweight are negatives this time
Alexander Dumas is on roll but gets a negative switch in saddle support
Malwa has weak numbers and
despite strong saddle assistance does not appeal
Conclusion: Attorney General
has targeted this race and should run prominently
R8: 4.Forever
Together
Forever Together earned an
impressive Time Form Rating in debut and
should be the one to be beaten here
Towering Presence is blazing
tracks in trials should be a different customer with this Jockey
Canotina is stretching out well
in trials, looks good for a place
Conclusion: Straight fight
between Forever Together and Towering Presence, former on the strength of
impressive TR is prime choice
