Small card with 6 races is framed for Friday kolkata races. Niel darasha trained Victoria cross is fancied to win The Calorific cup the feature event of the day on Friday.

1 race:3.Lineup and collect, 4.Soul aquarian, 5.Dancing Queen 

Lowest class race, the above named are picked up on their previous performance and age. First named is running on demotion has a good chance to score.

2 race:1.Argento, 2.Fifty shades, 7.Tetsu

3y old maidens juveniles race. Argento whose last debut run behind too good Cosmology may be ignored. Looks to be good in this field to win. Fifty shades is well bred first timer may do well on debut. Tetsu had run second on its debut run may fight for minor placings.

3 race:7.Schoenberg, 3.Live it love it, 6.Godsend divine

4y young Schoenberg is half brother to Medusa has failed to justify favouritism due to blood from nastrils last time over 7f race, now is fit, with 200 mtrs less to travel, in the hands of jockey Suraj chances are bright enough to win this time. Another 4y young Live it love it was fluent winner of the lower class will not go down with out a fight. Godsend divine Spirit bay may fight for minor placings 

4 race: 1.Contessina, 2.Three little words,5. Elusive ranger. 

Both the above named were met with each other in a race where Ohishika was the winner. First named was better placed than the later hence preferred as first choice. Elusive ranger may find a place 

5 race:4.Victoria cross, 3.Morano, 5.Light the world,1.Out lander, 6.Casha

Tough race, 4,3,5,1,6 all have chance here to fight out for prime spot.  4 & 3 when met with each other in race no 47, former was favorite failed to beat the later due shoe slipping, so I am expecting a tough fight between first two  named former having the edge to win here.

6 race:1.Good will, 3.Paulite warrior, 2.Amaze and inspire, 6.Global fashion 

Good will after winning by distance over 10f race in class 4, ran 5th to Heart in monsoon derby . Subsequent runs in higher class in this session were very impressive. Expected to have a good show this time over a mile. Paulite warrior,Amaze and inspire, Global fashion , Mrs brando may all fight for minor placings 

Good bets for the day 

(2-1)Argento, (4-1) Contessina, (3-7)Schoenberg
