Kolkata Selections: 16th Aug'17.

By Bkd | 15-Aug-2017
Hello Everybody,

Here are My SELECTIONS for KOLKATA Races of 16th Aug’17.


Race 1 Win#6-SAM HOUSTON
Ran 4th to Jump And Run over 1200mts in his last start, despite meeting interference; should amend in this batch.

XLITE, who has been tracking well, could upset Sam's hopes.


Race 2 Win#1-BUBBLY BELLINI
A winner in Class-III over 2000m, about 7 months ago. Is seen tracking impressively in morning work. Now running for the first time this season, and that too on demotion, could be a hard nut to crack.
An each way bet is recommended.


Race 3 Win#6-SANS PRIX
Ran 5th to Theo over 1400mts in the lower class; tracking attractively; can surprise with Neeraj in the saddle as she is placed very well on the scales.

REWALDING, the top handicapped Delhi Derby winner is the joker in the pack!


Race 4 Win#9-HE CALLS THE SHOTS
Ran 2nd to Magical Dancer over the same trip in one of his previous Bangalore starts; seems to be well tuned with this Independence Cup in view.

AYRAS PET with Trevor in the saddle may call the shots instead, in case he were to falter.


Race 5 Win#1-CAPTAIN COOK
His last run, as the favourite, won by Copernicus may be taken with a pinch of salt! In fact, he is capable of a much better show. Has been a consistent performer during the winter's and should he reproduce that form, will be well clear of this field.

COMMANDER appears to be the next best.


Race 6 Win#1-GRYFFINDOR
Won comfortably over the same trip (1100m); retains form; may be expected to score an encore with C Alford astride.

FORTUNE EXPRESS is the only one which can spoil Gryffindor's party.


Race 7 Win#1-SCARLET EMPEROR
Ran 3rd to Rufus despite interference. Trevor has now been booked and in all probability should be able to deliver in this modest company.

This is my final selection with couple of changes:

1-5 FLYING CLOUD - Inspite of loosing ground at the start, came well within 1-1/2L to Sam Houston over 1200m. I am sure 1600m will suit him and 3 Ever Glow is a 3yr old and running a mile for the first time. Check condition in the parade ring.

2-6 SURGICAL STRIKE - Is a 3yr old and a recent winner in a lower class at the same distance by 3L. Blaze to Glory is good for Shp.

3-5 Everybreakingwave coming after decent Bangalore runs, I doubt Rewalding performing over 1800m and first run this season.

4-8 AYRA'S PET - Ran well to finish 3rd recently, I am sure this was a lung opener for her. Should run well over this trip and better to Lay HCTShots if favorite for sure.

5-4 COMMANDER - Ran a close 2nd recently over 1200m, extra 200m will suit. Neeraj will have a quick double on this one.

6-5 MULTIPLE - Ran a very good race behind Fair Warning in Bangalore. Will take the Juvenile Sprint.

7-1 SCARLET EMPEROR - By Major Cadeaux, Following this horse for a long time, did not win almost for 2 yrs. Coming back to form and booking of TP is a + and a shoe change to A. DAYS BEST!

Kolkata 16.08.2017

1st Race

3 – Ever glow – John up in MAM’s horse trained by Vijay Singh, confused
4 – Xlite – close 5th over 1400mts, extended trip may suit, chance
6 – Sam Houston – close 4th in last run over 1200mts, extended trip will suit, good chance
8 – Famous Attack – yet to clear maiden after 19runs

My choice: (6) Sam Houston

2nd Race

1 – Bubbly Bellini – at a suitable distance, may try
2 – Majestic – on class demotion, may try
3 – Blaze to glory – good 4th at identical distance by whipless rookie, with positive switch in jockey good chance
6 – Surgical Strike – impressive winner on promotion, very good chance to repeat

My choice: (3) Blaze to glory might tackle (6) Surgical strike

3rd Race

1 – Rewalding – after winning the Delhi Derby, not ran so far, can get the distance
2 – Romantic Magic – can get the distance, with this jockey will be in contention
3 – Celtic King – only runner in this bunch who placed twice at these distance, aged, can upset
6 – Sans prix – At these weights with top jockey, very good chance

My choice: (6) Sans Prix with a run benefit this season can win now

4th Race

2 – Bulgerian – very close 7th during Bangalore campaign, distance is suitable, good chance with this jockey
3 – Hartnell – good third over 1600mts in last run, with 200mts less, very good chance with this jockey
4 – Apercus – winner at identical distance in last run in last year, may need this run
9 – He calls the shots – close 5th to stablemate in last run at Bangalore, at these weights, good chance at home

My choice: looks tough race with all the above having almost equal chance to land the independence cup

5th Race

2 – Evesham – can give first win to trainer this season
4 – Commander – good 2nd to Constantine, can get the extended trip, chance
5 – Noverro – last start winner over 1100mts, can defy the penalty for another win over this extended trip

My choice: hope (2) Evesham gets the first winner to trainer

6th Race

1 – Gryffindor – unbeaten over identical distance so far, can the top weight stop him?
2 – Sangfroid – last start winner over 1200mts, with 100mts less to travel can repeat
3 – Fortune express – last start winner with impressive timings, coming after a gap of 5 months, can it do again
4 – Jump and run – good 2nd in last run, can try start to finish for upset
5 – Multiple – winner and good 4th in Bangalore, can help that stint to beat’em all

My choice: (5) Multiple can get the juvenile sprint from others

7th Race

1 – Scarlet emperor – may place
2 – Rustler – with this jockey won earlier, may upset
3 – Jordana – running over this distance for first time, tracking well for an upset
4 – Miraculix – jockey in good form this season, may upset
7 – Warpath – good third to Alien, with this jockey very good chance now

My choice: (7) Warpath each way

Regards & all the best

Good Morning to all,
I was active some years back in this forum. My hospital construction work and OP schedule kept me away, which is for good, I realized as i went through the results and discussions. Some might remember me giving tip on the horse I had owned(I don't own now).As a surprise I got a call from a good old friend of mine after a long time to go through the kolkota card for today and give him my views if I don't mind. I too wanted to test my remaining(if left) skill on handicapping.So worked for half hour to pick three horses for today. It'll be a long mail if I explain the reasons for my selections.So be safe always. After all its your hard earned money.

RACE 4
LAY HE CALLS THE SHOTS(IF RACE TIME FAVOURITE)

RACE 5
COMMANDER WIN/SHP

RACE 6
MULTIPLE WIN/SHP/PLACE

Thanks to everyone.
Hope I'm not seen here often.
RAM

On Paper only 2 horses Appeal today at Kolkata:
Race 4. Aryas Pet - Although ordinarily bred, 2nd to Anacapri at level weights by 4 lts, beat Hartnell, albeit receiving 1.5kgs by 2 lengths both of who went on to register great wins at Bangalore. Today she receives weight from Hartnell, was given an easy run as favourite last time when same stable won and is working brilliantly. He calls the Shots, though impressed in Sanas win in Bangalore has not impressed in work. Hartnell should run well.
Race 6. Multiple - Blue Blooded - set for longer trip, but should tackle this set on his showing against Fair Warning, top of Cl 111 in good timing at Bangalore.
Express Wish is next, on his 2nd to Sana giving him 6.5kgs. Sana won at Bangalore in Cl.111 mid weight with very smart timing. Rider is ordinary.
However, watch their Weights, see their Conditions and Take your Call, irrespective of Price.

Hi All,

1-5 FLYING CLOUD - Inspite of loosing ground at the start, came well within 1-1/2L to Sam Houston over 1200m. I am sure 1600m will suit him and 3 Ever Glow is a 3yr old and running a mile for the first time. Check condition in the parade ring.

2-6 SURGICAL STRIKE - Is a 3yr old and a recent winner in a lower class at the same distance by 3L. Blaze to Glory is good for Shp.

3-1 REWALDING - Won the Delhi Derby in style. 5 Everybreakingwave coming after Bangalore runs will give a fight.

4-9 HE CALL THE SHOTS - Coming back after couple of good runs in Bangalore. With the weight advantage will beat Hartnell.

5-4 COMMANDER - Ran a close 2nd recently over 1200m, extra 200m will suit. Neeraj will have a quick double on this one.

6-5 MULTIPLE - Ran a very good race behind Fair Warning in Bangalore. Will take the Juvenile Sprint.

7-1 SCARLET EMPEROR - By Major Cadeaux, Following this horse for a long time, did not win almost for 2 yrs. Coming back to form and booking of TP is a + and this is my Days Best.

BEST BETS: REWALDING - COMMANDER - MULTIPLE - SCARLET EMPEROR

ALL THE BEST!
