Kolkata derby day with the card of 10 races. An interesting race card with the feature event The Kolkata derby stakes gr-I, along with Kolkata Sprint champion ship ship trophy gr-3 race. I feel In great form 'Trakila' should lift the Kolkata derby 2025 and 'Meropi' will lift sprint champion ship trophy
1 race:Class b race , 0-26 class, 7f race
3.Machhiato -39
14.Sun god-28
13.Msg fantasy-20
12.Magnite-18
My choice:3.Machhiato-win
(Class b race. None of the horses in the frame are in form, however Yash narredu saddled Machhiato looks some what better than others to try out and clear it's maiden rank in 7th attempt. Still I personally not advise to bet in this race)
2 race:40-65 class , 3y old terms Aloknanda stakes,
1.Morano-38
2.Eleanaro-35
3.Galway girl-30
4.Polka dot-26
My choice:1.Morano-win
( A small field of 4 horses. Morano is full sister to Mikimoto won by 8 lengths in a commendable manner on its debut run. Eleanora is half sister to Shamrock ran close 2nd to Lena on its debut run. Galway girl is full sister to Nomitsi ran far away 3rd to Kyoto. Polka dot is a first timer half sister to Mazal tov. Predicting the winner from the top two rated. I personally prefer Morano to repeat here again)
3 race:21-46 class 7f race
7.Emperor ashoka-91
4.Into the storm-87
1.Golden light-87
8. Suprakiga-79
My choice:7. Emperor ashoka-win(good bet)
(Emperor Ashoka come out of the gates from complete outer draw 14 in its last run took a good jump and took lead and maintained till last 200mtrs, slightly drifted out and last the momentum and lost the winning chance in its last run. This time with the mid draw 9 if take level jump can try out for win. Into the storm may run close to the winner)
4 race:21-46 class 7f race
1.Snow piercer-67
7.Sensational-60
6.Madras cheque -56
14.Absolute lightning -50
My choice:1.Snow piercer-win
(A close fight is expected between the two rated. I personally prefer Snow piercer to win here)
5 race:41-66 class 1100 mtrs race
3.Eagles flight-100
2.Superlative-89
5.Pure for sure-80
7.Cyrenica-78
My choice:3.Eagles flight -win
(Eagles flights is in rousing form ready to register a 4th win again. Sensational & Pure for sure may fight out for minor placings)
6 race:41-66 class 7f race
3.Earth-65
8.Casha-60
1.Wonderful -56
2.Salome-50
My choice:3.Earth-win
(Casha is a non winner even after 6 runs ,Hence ignored here. Western import 'Earth' is a consistent performer, looks to be the one to be beaten here. Wonderful & Salome may fight for minor placings)
7 race:61-86 class 1100 mtrs race
5.La dominate -121
1.Soup and sandwich -119
4.Out lander-117
8.All time legend-100
My choice:5.La dominate -win
(La dominate & Soup and sandwich both met with each other now La dominate looks slightly better on handicap than Soup and sandwich to win here.)
8 race: Kolkata winter derby 2025
9.Trakila-100
2. Casteel -98
8.Lady sunshine -95
3. Champagne supernova -86
My choice:9.Trakila-win
(Casteel is in good form. But yer to be tested over derby distance. Trakila has already been tested over derby distance last time out , as it has not get a clear room in last 300 mtrs, failed as fav in Kolkata oaks in its last run. A tough fight is expected between the both top two rated )
9 race:4y terms sprint champion ship 6f race.
2.Meropi-100
5.Cool rider-96
3.Black eagle -90
My choice:2.Meropi -win
