1.ASCENDENT : Interesting that stable have opted for this slightly shorter trip on his first run in ooty. Won twice from his both starts. Can score an encore if he were to run to his best.

2.COUNTRYS ANGEL : She will have to improve. Met interference soon after the start in her last run. Change of rider to Imran khan who has a good record in ooty. i am siding with this stable to have her ready for this event.

4.COUNTRYS TIGRESS / 1.BAMBINO (UPSET) : Countrys Tigress seems a filly worth following after her impressive win in mysore.
Bambino may try to win from end to end. Looks capable of making his mark here at decent price.

2.AS GOOD AS GOLD : This horse is in a firing form and Umesh is on board. All positive points to a decent start in ooty.

4.GOLD BERG / 6.KINGS CANYON (UPSET) : Gold berg is tracking well and may have a legit chance here.

2.TRUMP CARD : Being tracked by the same jockey who is riding today. The trainer had a good season in chennai and this horse can go close in this 1300m races.
