1) The Somanathpur Plate 1400 M
Class 5 / Horses Rated 00 to 25


ICE SPRINT, a decent 6th in race number 76 to NAPOLEAN DYNAMITE where in the 8yo mare lost by 3 & 1/2 length. Retirement nearing why not finish with a win. A couple of decent tracks and a gate practice. Remember when older horses are given gate practice a few days before race, it means the horse has got intent to do well.

OCEANA was handled very badly by the jockey in race number 82 where in after leading till last 150 mtrs faded away to come 4th. Now with 1.5 kg less and jockey switched to M RAJESH KUMAR. No trackwork in August. If intent is there may finish on board.

SAZAE SAN lead till the final 100 mtrs and drifted out and finished 2nd by half a length to NAPOLEAN DYNAMITE in race number 76. Quite a few decent trackworks. Fresh aluminium shoes This cherry mare is the horse to be beaten.

ULTIMATE GLORY came 7th in race number 76 and lost by 3 & 1/2 length with the same jockey SURYA P, now with 1kg down in weights and fresh aluminium shoes, should make the finish interesting. 4 decent trackworks in August.

TIME ALWAYS finished 3rd in race number 76 and lost by 2 lengths. Now with positive change in jockey ARSHAD ALAM. Blazing the morning tracks. Will put up a bold show.

I am confident the bunch of race number 76 held Aug 1 2017 will have the final say in this race.

12 TIME ALWAYS, 10 SAZAE SAN, 11 ULTIMATE GLORY

2) The Pune Plate Div-2 1200 M
Class 4 / Horses Rated 20 to 45

AMARIS came second in The Mysore Fillies Trial Stakes 2 1/4 behind TIGRIS. Now to be ridden by the same jockey SURAJ NARREDU who is making return from injury. A couple of decent trackwork and a gate practice. Take this cherry filly as my days best.

PIKACHU a demotee who has run in far better company. Distance might be little sharp for her. An allowance rider, positive change of shoes and a couple of decent tracks, should place.

GRACIOUS blew the field away after being heavily bumped, and won by 6 lengths in race number 70. Now a negative change in shoes & jockey and going on promotion. Can give AMARIS run for life if tried.

ALWAYS UNITED having featherweight handicapping and positive change in jockey. A suggestive run in race number 84 where in it came second to JOEY and lost by 1/2 lengths. 5 trackworks in August. Will fight till the end.

2 AMARIS, 14 ALWAYS UNITED, 6 GRACIOUS

3) The Star of Mysore Trophy 1400 M
Class 2 / Horses Rated 60 and above

SUPER SUCCESS a late coming 3rd to CASTLE KEY in it's last Bangalore outing. No trackworks in August.

ARROGANT APPROACH ran in far better company, only doubt is the distance might be little too sharp. Excellent trackwork.

SPEED HAWK will try a start to finish mission from draw 6 with this 3 kg claimer NAZERUL ALAM. May upset. Fantastic trackwork.

TIGER OF MYSORE from the Mistrys and to be ridden by P P DHEBE struggled hard to win in it's last outing. Long layoff might require this race for lung opener. No trackwork in August.

5 SPEED HAWK, 2 SUPER SUCCESS, 4 ARROGANT APPROACH

4) The Ranga Family Cup 1400 M
Class 1 / Horses Rated 80 and above

DOWNTON ABBEY lost to MULTITUDE in The Bangalore City Sprint Championship Gold Cup by 4 lengths with the same jockey MUDASSAR NAZAR. No trackwork in August. Will be in the firing line.

SAVANNAH SOUND lost to KINGOFTHEWORLD in it's last Mysore outing by 1/2 a length and now P Trevor on the saddle will put up a bold show. A decent trackwork to boast of.

LONDON lost to TRAHERNE in it's last Pune outing by 4 lenghts. No trackwork in August. Can at best place.

7 SCRIPT WRITER, do you remeber The Mysore Super Mile Championship held on Jan 11 2017, when it defeated likes of BLAZING TOUCH & ACCLAIMED to win, the payout was Rs 172 for a tenner. From the yards of a dubious trainer C D MONNAPPA who is famous for winning with hidden horses, and now with the same jockey ARSHAD ALAM on the saddle can create a flutter in the finish. No trackwork in August.

2 SAVANNAH SOUND, 7 SCRIPT WRITER, 1 DOWNTON ABBEY

5) The Srikantadatta Narasimharaajawadiyar Memorial Million 1400 M
Term Races / 3-year-old Indian Horses

TUTANKHAMUN came second to the RUFFINA The Poonawalla Breeders Multi-Million (Gr.1) by 2 lengths. And I always said that crops of PHOENIX TOWER(USA) is best suited for 1200 mtrs to 1400 mtrs. His last run where it lost to CASTLEBRIDGE, you can easlily see it lost it's gas in the end. So now running in the perfect distance suited for him with SURAJ NARREDU saddling him, he is the horse to be beaten. Blazing the morning tracks.

PINYADA not very good bloodline, but is consistent runner and with P Trevor in the saddle this horse should finish second, may upset. Fantastic trackwork.

2 TUTANKHAMUN, 5 PINYADA

6) The K.T.Shamaiah Gowda Memorial Trophy 1600 M
Class 3 / Horses Rated 40 to 65

3 TURF STAR came 3rd by two lengths to LADY IN LACE in The Hazara Stud Golconda Juvenile Million. Now 200 mtrs more to go and to be saddled by P TREVOR who is in red hot form should romp home without dropping a sweat.

4 BENEDETTA from the yards of S M JOHNSON, and to be ridden by V R JAGADEESH is a very consistent miler. May go close.

5 REGAL MUSIC owned and trained by B PRITHVIRAJ, ran very well in Bangalore races and with a positive switch of jockey should run a bold race. Though have never run 1600 mtrs race. No recent trackwork.

3 TURF STAR, 4 BENEDETTA, 5 REGAL MUSIC
