Monday Hyderabad

Corte madera is fancied to win The P G Reddy memorial Cup from Dapper look, the feature event the day on Monday Hyderabad 

1 race:7.Gusto's baby, 9.Special star,1.Aquatone

3y old maiden race, Gusto's baby ran good 3rd to Catch the worm, earlier who ran 7th behind Flight of fancy at Bangalore in a million race, in the hands of jockey Akshay should win the race. Special star is a well bred first timer will not go down with out a fight.

2 race:3.Dashing charm, 1, Dubai touch, 4. Don'tblockmyway

Tough to pick the winner of the above. I personally prefer first named to win

3 race:11.Turiya, 9. Moonlight rose, 7.Infinia

3y old maiden race, Turiya full sister to Agnostic ran 3Rd twice in two successive million races, shaped well during latest trials can win this time out. Infinia is also a good type ran good races, impressive on tracks, will be in fighting line. Moonlight rose ran at Bangalore gives in contention win is difficult but can figure on board 

4 race:Lowest category race, not to wager however for jp point of view given the choice. 1. Always special, 5.Balahaka

5 race:7.Corte madera, 2.Dapper look, 3.Gloria

Corte madera is 3y old young in the field, ran behind Sovereign king in its last run in colts trials stakes at Bangalore, earlier good 5th to Northern waves in a million race at Hyderabad. Dapper look was 2nd to Duke of Tuscany in Hyderabad winter derby 5 months back. Fitness is a doubt. Gloria was a fluent winner last time in lower class, running in higher class will be right there. A close fight is expected among the first two named former having the edge to win The P G Reddy memorial Cup the feature event of the day.

6 race:3.Pacific heights, 5.Zuza

3y old young of the lot, Pacific heights ran 5th to Indian brocade in sprinters million at Bangalore, Tracking good, should win from another 3y old Zuza who ran behind.

7 race:1.Walking thunder, 5.Calabasas. 7.NRI tripple power, 11.The purpose

Though race looks to be tough, I personally like the first named which may perform well looking at its previous runs behind classics

8 race:3.Imperia, 10. Anhilator, 2.Encore

Imperia is a 4y old young in the field, ran close 3Rd to Born brave last time over 6f race, now extended trip, tracking impressive, can win the race., Anhilator & Encore may fight out for minor placings 

9 race:3.Mauser, 5.Ilene, 7.Cape may

Lowest category race better not to wager but choice are given for the purpose of jp

Sunday pune

Because trainer Pesi Shroff under suspension till today, Himmat singh & Nirad Karanjwala got short period of luck to train best of his horses and of other stables in this pune season as such most of them have obliged today and likely to oblige tomorrow also. Except for 1,2 & 7 the other races are (3,4,5,6) trophy races may run fairly and oblige as first favourites

A big jackpot is expected 

1 race: 2.Escondio, 1.Goldiva. 3.Silver braid

Class b race, small field,  Escondio ran good 4th over a mile to Nostalgia in its last run in higher class, now running in lower clas, with 400 mtrs extra, can win in the hands of jockey A Sandesh from Goldiva

2 race:4.Midnight express, 3. Esperanza, 7.Fast approach, 6.Goddess of dawn, 8.Diligence 

Very tough race more than half a dozen  runners are in contention. Any of the above mentioned can win.

3 race:4.Super star, 8. Heart, 3.Machia vellian, 7.Golden dancer

(The indian association of Equine practitioners trophy)

Tough fight among the above three having Super star half brother to Arcadia ran behind bit higher rated subsequent classic contenders has edge to win from Heart(3,4,7,8 for jp first leg)

4 race: 3. Celestial , 2.Ardakan, 1.Pride's prince 

(The Moosa M Hoosien Trophy)

All the three more or less equally matched first named preferred on better timing.(1,2,3 for jp second leg)

5 race:1.Arkadian, 2.Duke of Tuscany, 6.Pyrites

(The JSK 1 best odds eve champion trophy the feature event of the day)

Tough fight between the stable mates.   1. Arkadian & Duke of Tuscany former having the edge. Bottom weighted Pyrite may upset. (1,2,6 for jp)

6 race :1.Vincero, 3.Zephyr, 8.Exciting,7. Menjou's moustache, 9.Mriga

(The animal welfare board of India trophy)

Tough fight between first three, Vincero could not do well due to interference ran good 3rd to Nostalgia over a mile, now running over 7f , may win here(1,3,7,8,9 for jp)

7 race:3.Prince Igor, 4. Coin empress, 6.Precosio, 7.Un titled 

Last two runs of Prince Igor in higher class may be ignored, earlier good 3rd to Nelson river in a million race, impressive on tracks, should win in this lower class in the hands of jockey C Umesh(best of the day)(banker in jp)

Sauterday pune

The card framed with 7 races looks to be very tough as such pick up winners is difficult. However The following are my choices for sauterday pune. Chose your pick based on race time odds.

1 race:4.Storm cloud, 1.Ekla chola

2 race:7.The millenium force, 3.Mansa mousa, 5.Treat

The millineum force was a 7 lengths winner over higher rated animals at Mumbai recent season , impressive on tracks can repeat the show. 

3 race:1.Lord eric, 5.You, 9.Moment of madness

Lord eric was easy winner last time 15 days back in form and facing poor opposition, can repeat the show

4 race:1.Caradoc, 2.Merlet, 5. Allez L'Etoile

Tough fight between Caradoc & Merlet former having edge to win

5 race:8.Neutralist, 5.Charlie brown ,2.Surerealist 

(Note: except for Neutralist the other runners in the field have run 4 months back where as Neutralist has run in recent Bangalore summer which gives him more benefit)

Neutralist well bred full brother to Christophany on its debut run with jockey Suraj astride ran Good 2nd to Hyper drive over 7f race at Bangalore due to stumble at 600mtrs otherwise should have won the race that day itself. Very impressive on tracks. Now running into open class 4, With jockey  Trevor astride should easily clear it's maiden rank unless otherwise gamble doesn't take place by bookies. It should face a fight from another 3y maiden 6. Charlie brown who ran behind classic contenders at Mumbai and decent winner 2. Surerealist 

6 race:2. Don Julio, 10. Legacy, 5.Encino

The first two have run behind Bishop in a million race last time at Mumbai may fight here for prime spot 

7 race:5.Oh kay, 1.Crystal clear
