My choices 2.Phatasmique,7. Baleno ,2. Ashwa Ankara

Class b race, the winner should emerge from the above named horses. Expected a fight between the first two named former having the edge to win here.

2 race:THE RACE MIRROR TROPHY
Class:40 TO 66 distance:2000M time:2:00 PM
My choices:3. Manwar ,2. Oliver ,4. Diego Garcia

Manwar is unbeaten in his last three starts and is in such fine form that another victory looks well within his reach.

3 race:THE INDIARACE.COM TROPHY (DIV-II)
Class:TERMS (3 year old maidens only) distance:1200M time:2:30PM
My choices:3. Sequential, 7.Mother's gift, 10.Sukhoon.

3y old maiden race, the above named are some what better on blood lines, hence preferred here to fight. tough to pick the clear winner. I personally prefer the first named Sequential who is well bred half brother to Corte madera, also had a good mock race, preferred to win here.

4 race:THE TIMES OF INDIA TROPHY
Class:60 TO 86 distance:1600M time:3:00 PM
My choices:2. Elysium,4. Namiri ,3. Thundering Phoenix

A highly competitive event with all runners holding an equal chance. However, Bangalore challenger Elysium, an impressive mile winner in Bangalore, may have the edge over the strong local challengers to win the feature event of the day.

5 race:THE HINDU TROPHY
Class:40 TO 66 distance:1400M time:3:30 PM
My choices:7.Wings of fury,2. Tyrannus, 6. Dedication

Winner should emerge from the above named first named having edge to win here.

6 race:THE INDIARACE.COM TROPHY (DIV-I), Class:TERMS (3 year old maidens only) distance:1200M time:4:00 PM
My choices:3. El Nino, 7.Red lightning, 6. Queen Caroline

3y old maiden race, Among these three leading contenders, the change of name might be what El Nino (ex: Incredible Luck) is well bred half brother to It's my time, Tehani etc, working very impressive on tracks, needs to break his maiden ranks. Is my days best

7 race:THE MID-DAY TROPHY
Class:20 TO 46 distance:1600M time:4:30 PM
My choices:9. Legadema ,1. Algonquin ,2. Avante

Lagadema made a decent start to the Mumbai season and, now making her handicap debut, looks well placed to register her maiden success.

8 race:THE DOPAHAR TROPHY
Class:20 TO 46 (5 YEARS OLD & UPWARD) distance:1200M time:5:00 PM

My choices:7. Eloquent ,10 . Spotlight,2. Silver Strike

An open race. Winner should emerge from the above. Eloquent had a good mock race preparation and, partnered with a seasoned jockey today, gets the preference over his two close rivals, who are both in fine form.

Day's Best :Elysium(4-2)

Good Bets :   

Manwar(2-3)      

El Nino(6-3)

Legadema(7-9)
