(NO WHIP RACE)

My choices:5.Costa mesa, 1.Bellas touch, 3.French Lieutenant, 8.My Touch.

3y old maiden race, no whip race, Bellas touch is a promising debutant who finished strongly to be 2nd. The step up in trip is a slight concern but the manner of his debut suggests he has ability.  Costa mesa is a filly from a well bred Stars envied, with a recent Good 3Rd and a good draw, now running over 1200m is ideal, an each way suggested. The French lieutenant is The most experienced and consistent horse in the field. He has strong recent form, a top jockey and a good draw (4). The drop back to 1200M is the only slight query, but his 1100M form is solid. He is the one to beat. My touch is very promising filly who was arguably an unlucky loser on debut due to a jockey error. The stable has immediately booked the top jockey, Akshay Kumar, and is running her back quickly. She can act as a major role.

2 race:THE FALAKNUMA TROPHY (DIV-II)Class:20 TO 45 (3 YEARS OLD & UPWARD)
Distance:1100M time:2:30 PM

Mychoices:4.Materiality,1.Cosmic gift, 2.Victoria dhora

Materiality is an unbeaten winner over the same trip, with the same jockey. She ran green on debut and should improve this time. She is a major contender. Cosmic gift has a habit of slow off, if can take a good jump can fight out for prime spot.

3 race:THE FALAKNUMA TROPHY (DIV-I),Class:20 TO 45 (3 YEARS OLD & UPWARD),Distance:1100M time:3:05 PM

MY choices:2.She's A Bomb 4.La Quinta, 3.American Affair

She's A Bomb shocked with a runaway win, and a repeat isn't ruled out — the penalty is negated by the allowance jockey booking. La quinta has bad gate manners, recent mock race preparation looks is improved, if so then will certainly in fighting line.

4 race:THE TOTARAM`S CUP
Class:TERMS (3 YEARS OLD & UPWARD)Distance:1200M time:3:40 PM

My choices:2.One N Only, 5.Black Onyx, 8.Emerald touch

Top rated One N Only, who returned to winning ways with an authoritative victory last time out, can be fancied to repeat again. Black Onyx is classic horse who is  in excellent recent form, finishing 2nd in his last two starts. He is dropping back to his winning trip of 1200M. He has a good jockey and a good draw, will be in fighting line. Emerald touch is a last-start winner over 1200M, stepping up in class. She has excellent recent form and a good draw. she is in great form. She will also be there at busy end.

5 race:THE PRESIDENT OF INDIA GOLD CUP (GR.2),Class:TERMS (4 YEARS OLD & UPWARD),Distance:2400M time:4:15 PM

My choices:4.Zuccaro,1.Duke of tuscany

Zuccarro is The highest-rated(123) horse in the small field, a last-start Group 2 winner, with a top trainer and an excellent mock race prep. The step up to 2400M is a small query, but his class may carry him through. He is a major contender in this feature event. Duke of Tuscany is Second highest-rated(120)horse in the field, a multiple Group race winner, and a proven stayer over this exact trip. He has excellent recent form, doosra of stable Shroff.
