From the Horses Mouth - Race form Analysis Guide for Sunday, 25th February 2018
 
- By Cyrus Naterwalla
 
Race No. 1 :- The Rusi Patel Trophy – Class I – Distance :- 1600M
 
SUPREME GENERAL :- 5 year old gelding trained by Karthik G and sporting the colours of Dr. M.A.M. Ramaswamy, he has run 15 times till date, winning thrice and finishing 2nd on 3 occasions. He has been quite highly campaigned most of the time and clearly has ability as evidenced when finishing runner up to Temerity in the Invitation Cup last year, but he does not appear completely straightforward. He has had 4 runs this season, 3 of them in Terms races and the previous time he was dropped into a handicap he was an easy winner over this trip, coming with a powerful run to trounce his older exposed rivals. He followed that up with a late finishing 2nd to Ruffina in the Darashaw Million over 1400M but then last time out again ran below expectations finishing only 6th to Your Royal Majesty in the R.N. Kanga. He just has a solitary rival to take on today but has to concede 11.5 kilos so in spite of Trevor in the saddle he looks up against it.
 
CAMBRIDGE :- Very progressive 4 year old trained by Pesi Shroff, he is unbeaten in his last 4 starts in Western India and is 4 for 6 overall, running 2nd on debut and making a visit to Chennai to finish 3rd in the South India 2000 Guineas. He returned to his home centre to score a stylish 7 furlong win last time out beating Uncle Scrooge and Summer Rays convincingly in a cracking time of 1.22.73. He clearly appears to be very much on the upgrade and receiving so much weight from his lone rival, he looks likely to make it 5 in a row here with A. Sandesh taking the ride.
 
CONCLUSION :- A very disappointing turnout with just 2 runners in the opener and at the weights the progressive Cambridge is selected to get the better of the enigmatic Supreme General.
 
Race No. 2 :- The Dr.Goolam E. Vahanvati Gold Trophy – Maiden 3 Year Olds – Distance :- 1000M
 
IMPALA :-One of two runners for the Narendra Lagad stable and appears to be the more fancied of the pair on form and on jockey bookings. He made an impressive debut over this trip back in January when making good late progress from the rear of the field to come and finish 4th to Divine Power although the form of that race has taken some knocks since. He did not show the expected improvement when upped to 1200M in the B.K. Rattonsey Multi Million, managing only 6th place behind Dance The Dream and is dropped back to 5 furlongs again. He seems to have maintained since condition judging from his recent trackwork and with Dashrath Singh up again today, he looks to have a decent each way chance and should make the frame.
 
PABLO :- Debutant from the Sanjay Kolse yard, he has a smart pedigree, being a full brother to the brilliant filly Confiance who’s career was sadly cut short by injury as also the well performed Gentillesse so he looks a nice sort on paper. He is likely to find this 5 furlong trip on the sharp side first time out and looks a little underdone today judging from his preparatory work. S. Zervan has been booked to ride and he merits consideration if looking fit and well in the preliminaries but looks likely to need this educative run and should be a different proposition in the future.
 
RUN FOREST RUN :- Fashionably bred son of Excellent Art, he was sent off favourite on his debut in a rich Million race on Derby weekend and ran promisingly, coming with a good run and only being worn down close home by Columbianaprincess. Godsword who finished 3rd that day has gone on to win a 5 furlong maiden so the form looks strong and with the benefit of the run and with P. Trevor taking over from Y.S. Srinath in the saddle, he is likely to start a warm favourite and should be hard to beat unless one of the unraced horses is above average.
 
AUGURY :- Trained by Altaf Hussain  this daughter of Arazan appears to be a speedy type on pedigree with the mare Stringsofmyheart owned and trained by the same connections, proving to be a 5 furlong specialist. Augury has been tracking very well in the lead up to this event and appears to have been given enough work to be fit enough first time out. A paddock check would be advised to ascertain her condition but she looks a speedy type and is expected to have a bold show with P.S. Chouhan booked to ride.
 
FLEUR DE LYS :- Another interesting debutant with a decent pedigree, this one comes from the yard of S.A. Waheed and is another daughter of Arazan. She too looks likely to need this educative run and looks a little short on preparatory work but the booking of Neeraj Rawal catches the eye and if looking fit, she too could be involved.
 
CONCLUSION :- Run Forest Run is the confident selection to build on his promising debut run and get the better of this opposition. Augury looks the most likely of the debutantes to upset while Impala can also be involved dropped back down to this trip .
 
Race No. 3 :- The Tattersalls Mile – Class IV – Distance :- 1600M
 
ADMO :- 4 year old colt trained by Nosher Cama who has run 6 times till date and is returning from a long lay off, having last raced over this trip in October where he was favourite on his handicap debut but ran below par and finished well beaten. He looked very progressive before that run, placing consistently in maidens before scoring a bloodless maiden success over 1400M, easily beating Sagittarius and Grand Accord. He has been solidly prepared for this reappearance run and has been working superbly in the morning trials so looks set to erase the disappointment of that last run and in spite of conceding weight all around here, he looks primed for a big run with P.S. Chouhan in the saddle and must be respected.
 
KIMBERELLA :- Promising looking and sparingly raced 4 year old filly trained by Imtiaz Sait, she has only run thrice till date so is open to plenty of improvement and after having an educative run in Pune on debut, she made a winning first appearance on this track when coming with a strong run to beat Sagittarius and Southern Storm over this trip. She was then upped to 2000M next time out but after being prominent till the bend, she dropped away rather disappointingly to finish a poor 7th. She was making her handicap debut that day so should benefit from that run, she drops back down to a mile now and Suraj Narredu who rode her to victory is back in the saddle replacing S. Zervan. The yard has been in very good form of late and if bouncing back from that poor performance, she is quite capable of regaining the winning thread.
 
WE BREAK THE RULES :- Full brother to the brilliant Kolkotta 2000 Guineas winner Whomakestherules, this S.A. Waheed gelding has not achieved nearly as much as his illustrious brother and is a winner of just 1 race from his 9 starts. He appeared to go off the boil after being well beaten in the Pune Derby and seems to be working his way slowly back to fitness. He finished 4th on the opening day to Turning Point and reappeared again after a break 3 weeks ago, where he finished well down the field. He has been eased in grade now and H. Zeeshan takes a valuable 3 ½ kilos off his back but he needs to show a little more zest on the track before he can be fancied from a win perspective and appears more of a place contender today.
 
COUNSELLOR :- Improving 4 year old from the powerful Pesi Shroff yard, he made his debut this season and has shown improvement from first run to second. Both his runs have been over 1400M, finishing on very late on debut to be 4th to Rincon in a weak maiden but duly built on that next time out when again making late headway to finish a good 3rd to Tanjo with the runner up that day Celestial Light going on to score subsequently. He has been working extremely well since that run suggesting that he has improved again and the step up to a mile looks sure to suit. A. Sandesh who was up that day retains the ride and he looks a leading fancy to make it third time lucky and emerge from the maiden ranks today.
 
IN IT TO WIN IT :- Quite highly regarded by his connections but this 4 year old from Adhirajsingh Jodha’s yard has run disappointingly in 6 starts till date, running poorly on a couple of occasions when strongly fancied. However, his last run looked to be a step in the right direction when he finished on late to be 3rd to Brainstorm with the winner and the runner up that day both going on to win again making the form look strong. He appears to have maintained his condition judging from his subsequent workouts but does not look a consistent sort so needs to show that run was not a flash in the pan. C.S. Jodha takes the ride today and he looks to have an each way chance on the handicap.
 
GNOSTIC EYES :- Smartly bred 4 year old gelding from the Rehanullah Khan yard who still appears to be relatively unexposed having only been seriously tried once in his 7 starts. After doing nothing of note in his first few starts, he was fancied for the first time over a mile in Class V but was overwhelmed by a couple of older handicappers in the closing stages, ending up 3rd to Sir Song. That was his penultimate run and last time out, he finished an easy 5th making late headway from the rear with his rider appearing uninterested in the early part of the race. He is now upped in grade but comes in at a low weight as a result. S.A. Amit claims a further 1.5 kilos in the saddle and running off a feather weight, he could be a danger and bears close watching.
 
CONCLUSION :-The Pesi Shroff trained Counsellor appears set to make it 3rd time lucky and is the selection here. Top weighted Admo appears to have been solidly prepared and could rate as a danger if reproducing his excellent track work and with Kimberella and We Break The Rules both having something to prove, In It To Win It could be given a chance on the handicap although he is not reliable.
 
Race No. 4 :- The Intervalve Poonawalla Ltd. Trophy – Class III – Distance :- 2400M
 
DROGO :- 5 year old colt trained by Imtiaz Sait who has run 15 times till date with 3 wins and 6 places to his name so far. The furthest that he has travelled over so far has been 2000M so is tackling this longer trip for the first time and has to prove that he has the stamina to traverse it. His recent form has been good though as he has not finished out of the first two in 3 runs this term. He finished a close 2nd to Samarjeet over 2000M on his penultimate run with Aspen a further length and a half away back in 3rd and dropped to a mile last time out, he came with a late run to collar Mount Mckinley close home. His full sister Spiritual Star did not race beyond 7 furlongs and none of the other progeny have stayed beyond 1800M so he is not certain to get the trip but if he does stay, he looks fit and well and could be a factor with P.S. Chouhan in the saddle and the yard in cracking form at present.
 
ZANARA :- Highly regarded 4 year old filly owned by the Poonawalla family hoping to have a win in their colours on the day of their sponsorship and trained by Dallas Todywalla. She has won 2 of her 9 starts till date having placed on 4 occasions but has come up short on the Classic scene and now reverts to handicaps. Both her wins have been start to finish efforts and she appears to be at her best when allowed to dictate the pace from the front. From that aspect she has the perfect jockey on board as P. Trevor is a master front running tactician. She too is tackling this trip for the first time and while her first two starts this season when making the running have been good, her last run where she was not allowed to dictate was a poor one so it seems vital that she controls the pace from the front. Her full brother Adzukis also was a winner over 2000M so she does stay that far and if Trevor can harness her energy over this longer trip, then she looks to have an excellent chance to succeed.
 
ASPEN :- Enigmatic 6 year old mare trained by Zadmal Singh, she takes a long time to get into full stride and hence the further the better for her and she is one of 2 confirmed stayers in this race, the other being Jager Bomb. She has run 19 times till date with 3 wins to her name and while her maiden win was over 1800M, her last 2 wins have come over this trip. She has had 3 runs this season and finished 3rd behind Samarjeet and Drogo over 2000M on her reappearance and she is weighted to gain revenge with Drogo on that score but her 2 subsequent runs have been poor. She should be fit enough, Bhawani Singh gets on well with her and if the younger horses fail to stay then she could prevail.
 
JAGER BOMB :- The 2nd runner from the Imtiaz Sait yard, this 7 year old is another confirmed stayer but is getting on in years and looks vulnerable against the younger horses. He has run 29 times so far and while he has placed on 11 occasions, he has managed to win just twice in the past. He has run 4 times this season and has been slowly finding form, his last 2 runs over this trip being decent ones although they were in the lower class. C.S. Jodha takes the ride today and he can be given a small chance to upset but looks to be more of a minor berth contender.
 
SAGITTARIUS :- Another improving 4 year old from the Sanjay Kolse yard who is also tackling this trip for the first time and is the most lightly raced of this lot, having had 5 previous starts so he still has scope to improve. He seems another who likes to dominate from the front and could take on Zanara for the lead as he won his penultimate start over 2000M from end to end. However the same tactic did not work last time out over 1800M when he led till the bend before being overwhelmed. He comes into this race though off a feather weight and S.A. Amit who has been booked to ride claims an additional 1.5 kilos so he will be running practically bareback. He looks a strong contender at the weights and can strike if he stays the trip. His half sister Rare Rhythm and half brother Glorious Reward were both well performed but did not attempt a trip this long so stamina is an unknown factor.
 
CONCLUSION :- This should be between the two 4 year olds Zanara and Sagittarius with preference for the former provided she is allowed to make the running as this appears crucial for her chances. In case the latter decides to make the running then he is given the edge. Aspen is a confirmed stayer and can upset if the pair cut pace with each other.
 
Race No. 5 :- The Poonawalla Breeders’ Multi Million (Grade 1 ) – Terms 3 Year Olds Only – Distance :- 1400M
 
ASTRAL FORCE :- Southern challenger who has raced twice so far both times over this trip and has a win and a second place to his name. He was sent off favourite on his debut but went down fighting by a length to Mr. Handsome and then travelled to Mysore where he was a comfortable winner of his maiden easily beating Poseidon and clocking a fast time of 1.22.91 seconds. He seems to have been working well since the run and looks likely to improve further. He has already stayed this trip in good style and looks a decent prospect. It is hard to tie in the parallel form but he deserves to be considered in this competitive event with S. John his usual rider taking the ride.
 
ATHENAEUS :- Hyderabad Colt who is unbeaten in 2 starts and has created a very good impression in his 2 runs so far, winning twice over 6 furlongs, last time out easily accounting for Corfe Castle who did not quite seem to settle that day but was well beaten. He has yet to prove his stamina for the 7 furlong trip as his half sister Yellow Diamond was all about speed but he looks to be a classy individual and if getting the trip well, he will take all the beating. He has been working well and looks to have an excellent chance with A. Sandesh booked to ride.
 
CORFE CASTLE :- Full brother to the brilliant Ruffina, also from Hyderabad who has already developed a good reputation for himself, making an impressive winning debut over 1100M in a cracking time of 1.06.69 and then finishing runner up to Athenaeus over 1200M last time out where he did not quite appear to settle in the small field and possibly did not run upto his best. He ran a very impressive Mock Race over 7 furlongs here last week, looks to be fit and well and is likely to be right there in the firing line. Champion Jockey P. Trevor takes the ride and connections will be quietly confident of gaining revenge on Athenaeus.
 
PIONEER :- Probably the best performed of the local contingent, he too is unbeaten in both his runs so far, coming with a late run to beat the more experienced Oomph over 1200M on debut and proving more impressive when accounting for highly rated stable companion Adjudicate and Mozart over this trip last time out in the Breeders Produce Stakes. He appears to be progressing nicely has been working well and with P.S. Chouhan to guide him again, looks set to maintain his unbeaten record and give Trainer Malesh Narredu his first Poonawalla Multi Million win as a Trainer.
 
SALVADOR DALI :- Trained by Master trainer S. Padmanabhan and yet another out station challenger representing the sponsors, he was a winner on debut over 1200M, looking green and inexperienced in the early part but then picking up in good style once the penny dropped and motoring home under David Allan to gain a hard fought maiden victory over Subha Ka Tara who has gone on to frank the form. The timing was not particularly special that day but he is entitled to improve considerably for that run and is likely to relish the additional furlong. David Allan retains the ride and is looking to repeat his success last year aboard Ruffina.
 
STAR SUPERIOR :- Bangalore raider who made his debut a couple of weeks ago and in spite of looking green and inexperienced, showed a nice turn of foot to beat Tyto Alba and score an authoritative victory over this trip. He is sure to improve appreciably for that run and be fitter and sharper today and has proven his stamina for the trip already. Suraj Narredu, who has also ridden Athenaeus should be able to compare the two and he looks set to give a good account of himself.
 
DANCE THE DREAM :- Half sister to Jack Frost who made an impressive winning debut in the B. K. Rattonsey Memorial Multi Million on Derby Day, always travelling strongly and putting the race to bed comfortably in the closing stages, easily beating Steppenwolf who was a good maiden winner on Friday. She is sure to have benefitted from the experience and improved for the run and should relish the additional furlong on pedigree. She has been working very well since the run suggesting that she has improved and Y.S. Srinath who rode her that day has flown down to take the ride. She looks an exciting prospect and must be respected with Imtiaz also searching for his first Poonawalla Million winner this millennium.
 
CONCLUSION :- This looks highly competitive with almost half the field consisting of out station challengers but local horses tend to do well in this race and we will take a chance with the unbeaten Pioneer who seems to have the best form and has already won over the 7 furlong trip. Athenaeuscomes here with a solid reputation and is respected but both his wins have been over 6 furlongs and he may have too much speed to see out the additional furlong at this stage. Dance The Dream was a fluent maiden winner and is sure to improve while Corfe Castle who ran an impressive Mock Race last week also must be considered.
 
Race No. 6 :- The Sir Victor Sassoon Gold Trophy – Class III – Distance :- 1400M
 
DOMINATION :- 5 year old gelding from the Malesh Narredu yard who has won 2 of his 19 starts till date but appears to be better than his form figures suggest and is most effective over middle distances. He has been given plenty of runs this season over sprint trips to get him fit and last time out in the higher class possibly suffered from feeble handling and was not able to give off his best, finishing a fair 5th. He has now been dropped into the lower class, Yash Narredu takes over in the saddle from H. Zeeshan and he has been doing some outstanding work of late. He did score over this trip on his last run in Pune with the same rider up and looks set to run a very big race in spite of conceding weight all around.
 
TANJO :- Highly progressive 4 year old filly trained by Nosher Cama she was given 2 educative runs to bring her along and is now bidding for a hattrick, having scored 2 impressive victories in her last 2 runs and comes into this race at the top of her game. She scored a stylish victory over 1200M on her handicap debut, scoring an emphatic 4 lengths win and the 2nd 3rd and 4th in that race have been subsequent winners. She then stepped up to this trip last time out and again scored over Celestial Light who went on to win again so her form looks impeccable. She is up a further 6 kilos today but looks to be improving with every run and is strongly fancied to complete her hattrick.
 
MASTEROFBALANTRAE :- Unbeaten colt who has the disadvantage of returning from over a year off the track but was 2 for 2 on this track last season, scoring an upset win over 6 furlongs on debut and then repeating against Class IV opposition over 7 furlongs before being put away. He has been solidly prepared for his comeback including a couple of smart Mock Races and should make a bold bid to preserve his unbeaten record with A. Sandesh in the saddle.
 
ALBARETO :- Another highly regarded and progressive 4 year old colt from the stable of S.S. Shah, he has run 4 times till date and won two of those races, the wins coming over 1200 and 1600M. He was well fancied on his racing debut in Pune but ran poorly that day and finished 4th to Gazino but clearly had improved over the winter when scoring a maiden success over 1200M early in the season here. He was even more impressive when stepped up to a mile next time out and came with a rattling run to beat Gloriosus in a decent Class IV contest. He was odds on favourite last time out over 2000M but faded away tamely in the straight and ended up last of the 4 runners so he has recover from that poor run but it is possible that he simply did not stay that day and the drop back to a mile will help. He has been working well, Y.S. Srinath is back in the saddle and if that last run is ignored, he is greatly feared.
 
ORION’S BELT :- Front running 4 year old filly trained by Narendra Lagad who has 2 wins to her name from 10 starts and looked very progressive in the early part of her career but has been out of form in her 4 runs this season and has come down in the scales as a result. She needs to bounce back from her previous indifferent efforts but if she can return to form then she looks to be an each way player in this tough field. Dashrath Singh takes the ride today and if bouncing back to form, she can spring a surprise.
 
RED’S REVENGE :- Improving and well bred 5 year old gelding trained by Rehanullah Khan he has run 13 times till date but has recently come to form since switching yards and has been running well this season. He scored an overdue maiden success over this trip on his penultimate run in the lower class, winning comfortably and did not run badly last time out under his penalty when making late headway to finish 4th to Brainstorm in a race which has worked out well. He is upped in grade now but seems to be in good form at present and in spite of the tougher opposition, he bears watching from the bottom of the scale with C.S. Jodha booked to ride.
 
CONCLUSION :-This looks a tough contest and should be competitive but I like the unbeaten Masterofbalantraein spite of him having his first run in over a year. He won both starts impressively last season and appears to have been well prepared for his comeback. Tanjohas been making rapid improvement and the form of her wins has been firmly vindicated so she is clearly a big danger while the top weighted Domination who has been working superbly and Albaretoalso must be respected.
 
Race No. 7 :- The Red Buttons Plate – Class III – Distance :- 1200M
 
CERRADO :- Highly regarded 4 year old filly trained by Vishal Gaikwad, she returned after a substantial break in January this season and ran a promising close 3rd to Beshiktash with Renato 1 ¼ lengths ahead of her that day. She finished only 4th to Aurelia next time out but that run was within 2 weeks time and possibly came too soon and she has rightly been given time to improve since then. She should have been freshened up by the short break and looks set to resume her progression now with David Probert a good jockey booking .
 
ELYSEE :- Lightly raced and speedy 4 year old filly from the S.K. Sunderji who is quirky at the gates and got left last time out which effectively put paid to her chances. She has run 9 times till date and both her wins have come over 1000M and she is yet to prove that she can tackle this longer trip. It is interesting that P. Trevor who rode her last time keeps the ride and if getting off on level terms today, she could trouble them all.
 
RENATO :-Well bred 4 year old trained by Malesh Narredu who made his belated racing debut towards the end of October and was an impressive winner over this trip in Class IV. He then showed his versatility by scoring over 1000M on the opening day of this season and narrowly failed to complete his hattrick over 7 furlongs when pipped by Beshiktash with Cerrado a close 3rd that day. He ran a poor race over this trip last time out but can be forgiven one bad run and could very well bounce back today. Yash Narredu keeps the ride, he is working well and looks dangerous to ignore and should run much better today.
 
INVICTUS MANEO :- Another progressive 4 year old from the Adhirajsingh Jodhayard who also has to bounce back from a poor effort last time out but was unbeaten in 2 starts before that, all his runs so far over 1000M. His come from behind style suggests that this longer trip should not be a problem and he clearly appeared progressive before the last poor run. Dashrath Singh his regular rider is up again today and if bouncing back from that indifferent last effort and staying the longer trip, he could very well be a factor and should not be ignored.
 
CHAPLIN :- Steadily improving 4 year old gelding trained by Dallas Todywalla, he is a winner of 1 of his 5 starts with two seconds also to his name and after improving with every run, scored a fluent maiden victory over this trip on his penultimate start. He was beaten by Celestial Light when an odds on favourite upped to 7 furlongs last time out but is now upped in grade and dropped back to the 6 furlong trip which should suit him. He is taking on stiffer opposition today but looks to be in good form and can redeem himself back down to his pet trip with Neeraj Rawal replacing David Allan in the saddle .
 
CONCLUSION :-The highly regarded Cerradois selected to return to the winner’s circle as she should have been freshened up by the short break and has David Probert in the saddle. Renato and Invictus Maneocan both recover from indifferent last efforts and are respected as dangers along with Chaplin
 
Race No. 8 :- The Mystical Trophy _- Class IV – Distance :- 1000M
 
EPIPHANY :- 4 year old filly from the Nazak Chenoy yard who has run 4 times till date and has been making steady progress with each of her runs. After 2 modest efforts in Pune, she showed improvement on her first run in Mumbai when finishing on late to be runner up to Polyneices and proved far too strong for the opposition when winning with authority last time out when easily beating Cherry Blossom with Malavika back in 4th. 5 ½ kilo penalty seems fair, she is likely to progress again and with P. Trevor retaining the ride, she appears to have an excellent chance to repeat.
 
FINE TUNE :- Trained by Mansoor Shah, she too is an improving 4 year old who has made good progress this season finishing 3rd to better fancied owner mate Tanjo on her penultimate run and duly building on that when scoring a fluent maiden success over this trip last time out with Abraxas back in 4th. She too has not been harshly penalized for the win, appears to have maintained her condition and with H. Zeeshan keeping the ride and claiming a useful 3.5 kilos, she looks likely to make a bold bid to repeat with her yard back in form at present.
 
MALAVIKA :- Speedy 4 year old filly from the Altaf Hussain yard who is still a maiden after 9 starts and appears to be in the grip of the handicapper at present. She has run thrice this season, failing to make the most of a good opportunity on her 2nd run but beaten into second by Speedo and last time out she finished well behind Epiphany. Another 3 ½ kilo claimer G. Amit has been booked to ride today and although she is likely to score over this trip before too long, she looks more of a place prospect today.
 
SOUTHPAW :- Got abroad 4 year old from the Faisal Abbas yard who made his racing debut in April but did not race again until returning this season to run a forward race before weakening to finish 6th to Clymene in January. He was well fancied on derby Day over this trip but found only Checkmate to be too strong and the winner has franked the form with his fluent victory on Friday. The switch from Amyn Merchant to Neeraj Rawal is a big positive, he has been working very well and now looks set to score and should be the one to beat.
 
TRUE GRIT :- Well bred 4 year old from the S.K. Sunderji yard who is making a belated reappearance after 3 runs in Pune and is likely to need this lung opener today. He failed to show speed on his 3 runs in Pune, running modestly on all 3 occasions, making the frame twice and finishing just outside it once. He has been working fairly well, looks likely to have improved over the break and could be a dark horse here with C.S. Jodha booked to ride.
 
ABRAXAS :- Speedy 4 year old filly trained by Narendra Lagad who is beginning to look exposed now and is still a maiden after 8 starts. She has been showing early speed and kicking on to make the frame in most of her races but looks vulnerable against several of these and although Dashrath Singh takes the ride today which is a positive she needs to improve further and show she has the stamina to last out till the line. Rank outsider.
 
CONCLUSION :-The well bred and improving Southpaw ran a fine race in defeat last time out and with Checkmate winning again and the positive switch to a stronger rider, he looks the one to be on. Impressive last outing winner Epiphany looks a live danger and can trouble him along with the improving Fine Tune .
