Spartan Poker Indian 1000 Guineas

By Rahul71 | 06-Dec-2018

The Spartan Poker Indian 1000 Guineas to be run on Sunday over the mile distance has attracted a field of 11 runners. The top 3 according to me are Isnt She Lovely...Oomph....and Merlot. 

My bet would be on Isnt she lovely most probably partnered by David Allan with a hedge bet on Merlot.

One of the poorest 1000 G. Most of the runners are class 3 material. On default and elimination David Allan can win.

Isn't She Lovely was tracked today morning and she excelled.

Still no sign of Merlot and Oomph on the track, with just two days to go before the D-day!!

FYI guys..

Thorough analysis, Shaikh. Let's now await jockey choices. And trackwork of Isn't She Lovely and Merlot in Mumbai..

Hello fellow members.

As most of the member pointed out. There are 4 genuine contenders.  This are my observations:

ARABIA :

She is full sister to AMELIA and MYRTLEWOOD. And to mention MYRTLEWOOD has won Indian fillies 3yr and Indian fillies 4yr back to back.

Won a class 4 race 1200M with dud timing of 1:11:16 but considering the verdict Leigh Roche easied up.

BUT SHE NEED MORE EXPERIENCE,  INDIAN FILLIES COME TO QUICKLY FOR HER, AS SHE HAS TO TOPPLE ALREADY PROVEN AND MATURE FILLES.

 

ISN'T SHE LOVELY :

4 Wins out of 6. And pedigree EXCELLENT ART - IN THE SPOTLIGHT.  Speaks about her. 

She has been beaten in June Bangalore fillies by PUNJABI GIRL.  But the timing of PUNJABI GIRL was dud 1:41:78, interestingly she won in month July, class 2 race, by better timing 1:39:55, she did beat PUNJABI GIRL comfortably in mysore fillies and also to most of fillies running in filles 1000G at other centres like, SAKURA 3rd in hyde fillies,  WATCHMYSCRIPT (favoured by most of the member right over here) and MEA CULPA, participating in Chennai filles.

She won class 1 race, she lost a race as favourite to PELUCHE, but should remind you, there was enquiry on running and riding of ISN'T SHE LOVELY,  as it was deputised by Mr. Rakesh instead of Mr. S. Padmanaban.

SHE IS FIT ENOUGH, BUT RUNNING AT MUMBAI TRACK FOR FIRST TIME, CAN IT HOLD THE LONG STRAIGHT IS THE QUESTION. 

LA EONDINE:

This filley is a half sibling to the classic, DEGO REIVERA, ONASSIS, and SERGENT AT ARMS.

She won the class 4 race, both ARABIA and LA RONDINE, won at same day, at 1200M, in the hands of leigh Roche, but LA RONDINE timing was better. She has good, urging in straight.

AGAIN A GOOD YOUNGSTER, BUT LACK EXPERIENCE.

MERLOT:

TINTINUBALATION, is full brother. Distance is not a problem, but she is failing miserable over a mile, the first run/win was shocking chacing all the all runner in straight from long back, is well produced. Ironically second was quiet opposite and ended third to TRULY EPIC upset against, INTENSE STYLIST. But on a note there was a enquiry initiated in running and riding of MERLOT. Her second in a hyd fillies is good, items she was slightly drifted in 150M, but suddenly urged like star, and failed by 1/2L.

SHE IS THE ONE WHO IS GOING TO GIVE STIFF FIGHT TO BEST FILLY.

 

My choice:

I hope travelling gone well and will be at busy end for sure, I cannot resist, MERLOT.  As she has excellent turn of foot, if she handled well, it will definitely give hard time to ISN'T SHE LOVELY. 

Thanks. Best of luck.

In Racing, if it is that easy to pick up a winner, at the Acceptance. stage itself, without knowing the Jockeys who are entrusted with rides, everyone would have been a multi multi millionaire by now.

Show some kind of patience. You guys can be enthusiastic but at the same time should not be amateurish.

After its maiden win 'Eyes for you' as a favourite was seen finishing fastest of the lot in its next run over 1400M in class iv, now with 200M more, should run a good race. Had a good mock race.

I will be surprised if it doesn't place.

Till 6th morning, there is no trackwork of Oomph and Merlot on RWITC website.

Have the duo reached Mumbai?

Well Guys the winner is Isn't she lovely which will be partnered by none other than David Allan and will win 1000 guineas....

It remains to be seen if Oomph and Merlot are able to recover from the travelling. 

My short list has Arabia, Isn't She Lovely and La Rondine.

Let us await jockey choices.

I would also like to see Mumbai trackwork of Merlot before deciding.

Oomph I would most likely discount anyway because I doubt if it can beat the Mumbai brigade.

La Rondine  & Arabia are the other two besides Isn't She Lovely... 

LA RONDINE  SHOULD WIN
