The Chisel Arts Cup 2000m Class 1

By Raj | 07-Dec-2017

After filtering out, this appears to be a straight fight between Washington and Volantis.
Both appears to be well placed in handicap and capable of beating each other.
Washington is being ridden again by Dheebe who has won 3 times in a row and the horse is giving very good track..
PSC looks strange on Volantis.I would have preferred Neeraj or John.

But my instinct says with benefit of run and at bottom wt Volantis should win.
Wonder if HTers give chance to other horses other than these two???

Finally

Volantis_WIN

Washington- SHP.

Washington-- Last win over 2000m very impressive, good rest and low weight.

Interstellar..Top weight and has never run more than 1400 m.

Volantis.. Last time, slow at the gate, kept off the pace, ran 6-7 horses wide, made to do a lot and just lost at the post, whereas Alford on Ambries did everything right and won. Suraj rode a poor race. Volantis receiving weight ,but running in a stronger company. Short gap from last run is a cause for concern.PS Chouhan may not the same mistake like Suraj and should be able to give a good fight.

Conclusion ..Washington should prevail over Volantis .

3-5 WASHINGTON-WIN

I have gone thru the comparative runs of AMBRIES and picked WASHINGTON ahead of VOLANTIS to win this race. Volantis may go out once again as favourite. I think she was fully extended last time out, and running another trip within 11 days. Instead of recouping the losses, the connections may try to recover the money in other ways. Interstellar is not suitable for longer trips, hence ignored.

@ Stopfooling,

Since you claim to belong to the other half, are you not ,in a way, complaining too ? And also being judgmental about others ? Mistakes do happen and when politely pointed out by Zeddzz, I regretted and mentioned the reason for it. Sarcasm has its own place, but combined with wrong conclusion is taking it a little too far. Don't you think so ?

U Chose very tough race Mr raj ...

In my opinion there are 3 contenders for this race

INTERSTELLAR :top weighted horse with top jockey..having an advantage of runing with a good company in past and distance is not that much issue ..still feels that 61.5kg is too much..

WASHINGTON : This horse has changes a lot.improve dramatically in recent past..giving excellent track work with 53 and dhebe on top he is appealing in this field ..

VOLANTIS : BY multidimensional with bottom weight ps chauhan is out of former jockey.
Chauhan has ride this horse in pune ..

My final choice is Washington win for 2nd spot it gonna be volantis or interstellar .

Dear Zeddzzz,
Sorry. Misread the race in head post.Shaman is my choice for 2000 G.As for the Chisel Art , the obvious choice is Volantis, and since obvious choices have a way of failing, I will be a little careful and do a rethink to arrive at a final decision.
Thanks.

Dear CRK,
Shaman Iz Running In Other Race.
Not In This One Which Iz On Subject And Being Discussed.

Dear G i g,
Interstellar, First, No Doubt It Raced In Tougher Classes But With This Back Breaking Weight It Iz Almost Impossible For Her Win. Second, She Will Not Stay The Distance. My Personal Opinion, Even Place Iz Difficult.
Any Way, Wishing You The Very Best.

Sunday Mumbai Races have been cancelled in view of the recent rains. The other website says it has been postponed to 16th. However I checked RWITC website. The Sunday races cancelled and Indiarace is correctly reporting this. The Spartan Poker Indian 1000 Guineas (Gr.1) will now be run on Saturday, 16th December 2017.

Hope Mysore will conduct Inter Venue Betting for Hyderabad Races on Sunday.
