Pune Race selections

Pesi Shroff trained Jaandaar is fancied to win The Villoo C Poonawalla Pune Derby (Grade 1), a race for three year old horses to be held here at Pune on Sunday October 11th.

1 race:THE SIR SULTAN CHINOY TROPHY
Class:80 & ABOVE, Distance:1200M time:1:30 PM

My choices:6.Fourth Wing, 7.You're unforgettable

All the three mentioned above are very speedy of which Fourth Wing is absolutely flying at the moment, and it's hard to see anything stopping her from winning.

2 race:THE JIMMY UMRIGAR TROPHY (DIV-II),Class:TERMS (3 year old maidens only), Distance:1400M time:2:00 PM

My choices:5.Miami Vice, 2. El nino, 1.David

El Nino's consistent performances make him a reliable candidate to shed his maiden tag, although Miami Vice, following a promising debut, could pose a close threat.

3 race:THE JIMMY UMRIGAR TROPHY (DIV-I), Class:TERMS (3 year old maidens only), Distance:1400M time:2:30 PM

Mychoices:5.Taaqat, 3.Minimus4.Sir churchill

3y old maiden race, though looks an open contest  well bred Taaqat who ran good 2nd to Bravion last time, should break maiden rank followed by the well bred first timer Minimus & Sir Churchill

4 race:THE PUNE POLICE COMMISSIONER`S TROPHY
Class:20 TO 46, Distance:1400M time:3:00 PM

Mychoices:1.Paloma, 4.Avante, 2.Sukhoon

A tightly contested battle is anticipated among these three leading contenders; Paloma if apprentice jockey handles carefully can win the race.

5 race:THE J. M. SHAH, C. M. SHAH & K. M. SHAH GOLD TROPHY, Class:40 TO 66, Distance:2400M time:3:30 PM

My choices:1.Caccini, 2.Little john

The race appears limited to the above two horses, tough fight between the two, Caccini having graded race run experience may take a chance from twice winner Little john.

6 race:THE VILLOO C. POONAWALLA PUNE DERBY (GR.1), Class:TERMS (3 years old only),Distance:2000M time:4:00 PM

My choices:5.Jaandaar, 2.Beast Mode ,4.Iron Mirage

Unbeaten since his debut and improving with every run, Jaandaar appears poised to add the prestigious Pune Derby to his record.

7 race:THE N. K. PUDUMJEE SALVER, Class:60 TO 86,, Distance:1400M time:4:30 PM

My choices:7.Bishop, 6.Giacomo, 3.Earth

Tough race, Giacomo, though looks best on paper, running after a long break, looks to be tough I feel. Win may be bit difficult but in top 3. Shroff trained Bishop can win  and give a double to the trainer with Jaandaar in the feature event.

8 race:THE VINAYAK SALVER
Class:1 TO 26 (4 YEARS OLD & UPWARD)
Distance:1200M time:5:00 PM

My choices:1.Bravo Zulu, 5.Prince igor, 6.We still believe

Class b race, Though looks an open contest, very much improved Bravo Zulu, having finished a close second behind Gold Bar, holds a good advantage.

Day's Best:Jaandaar(6-5)

SELECTION

1 race:THE SEVERUS PLATE
Class:1 TO 26 (4 YEARS OLD & UPWARD),Distance:1600M time:2:00 PM

My choices:3.Touch Of Mystic, 1.Neutron, 2.Baleno

Lowest class race, With so many horses showing inconsistent form, this race is wide open — monitoring market trends is essential. Touch of mystic is half sister to well bred Snow fall, distance may not be a problem, tracking Good, should win. 

My Bet:3.Touch of mystic -win

2 race:THE TRUEFITT & HILL TROPHY, Class:20 TO 46 (5 YEARS OLD & UPWARD)
Distance:1000M time:2:30 PM

My choices:3.Moonlight kiss 1.Silver strike, 4.Believe

My bet:3.Moonlight kiss-win/1.Silver strike -place 

The first two named are hard to split on form, Silver strike has slight edge to win.

3 race:THE CONRAD PUNE TROPHY, Class:40 TO 66, Class:1600M time:3:00 PM

My choices:6.Pure Soul,1.Matisse, 3.Coffee at eleven, 5.Nebula, 4.Dedication

No bet

A highly competitive field, 1,3,6,5,4 have credentials, race time odds should only indicate, That said, Pure Soul's effortless win last time out grants her a narrow advantage.

4 race:THE RAEES PLATE
Class:TERMS (3 year old maidens only), Distance:1000M time:3:30 PM

My choices:2.Lucky Diamond, 10.Sabalenka,,1.Absolute Emperor

My bet:2.Lucky diamond -win

The first two are neck and neck, but Lucky Diamond gets the ace jockey Trevor Patel on board today — and that could be enough to see her break through for a maiden win.

5 race:THE RODEO PLATE
Class:20 TO 46, Distance:1100M time:4:00 PM

My choices:3.Yinsiruk 4.Dreams Come True, 5.Santana Row

My bet:3.Yinsiruk-win

The first two are in cracking form and agonizingly close — they're expected to go head—to—head in a bid to register their second career success.

6 race:THE LEMON TREE HOTELS TROPHY,Class:60 TO 86, Distance:1000M time:4:30 PM

My choices:7.Gun fire, 1.Foxy, 6.Darcy.

My bet:7.Gun fire -win

Foxy is in strong form, but because she is giving away considerable weight to her opponents, she will face a difficult task in trying to win her third race in a row.

7 race:THE SURESH MAHINDRA TROPHY
Class:80 & ABOVE, Distance:3200M time:5:00 PM

My choices:1.Winfield, 2.Golden Dancer ,3.Endurance

As all of them are tackling the 3200—metre trip for the first time, testing their stamina in this gruelling feature event, it is difficult to draw any firm conclusions. However I personally prefer the first named to win the feature event of the day

Days best: Yinsiruk(5-3)

Note: Changing of morning odds from night odds looks to be bit confusing to bet strongly on any horse of my selection. It seems Bookies are trying to gamble with changing odds. Better Avoid betting today as far as possible.
