Two best horse at this time in India..SIR CECIL and STAR SUPERIOR goes head to head on 16 Dec at Mahalaxmi...and will be ridden by two top class jockeys David Alland and Suraj Narredu...These horses will finish 1 and 2..Flash of grey may win it from Star superior in a close finish...Or SS developed very well and its Poonawalla's Guineas..Star Superior may beat Sir Cecil..Sure the odds will be less..And who will finish 3rd.?
My choice for 3rd place is Exellent and Intense stylish..Excellent have beatean best horses and may give a competive run at Mahalaxmi..Final Pick EXCELLENT will finish 3rd
Please say your views for 3rd place too

15-Dec-2018The Results--- Sir Cecil (win)--Can not bet,cause no odds. Star Superior--2nd---Can not bet in place,cause no odds for place by.bookies. Excellent--3rd--if you get more than 8/10(Place),a sure shot bet.

15-Dec-2018Am going with the hunch of " winner will be from parent centre" , which gets stronger today after the invader winning Bng 2000 Guineas, so that leaves me with Awesome One, Bushtops, Jetfire,Excellent & Intense Stylist.. My picks are Intense Stylist and Awesome One.

15-Dec-2018Hi ISN"T SHE LOVELY Lost, same fate awaits for Sir Cicil in Mumbai.
Lay Sir Cicil as much one can digest.
cannot win first time on Mumbai straight of 600 for sure .
Shridhar said ...
15-Dec-2018Difficult for sir Cecil due to his front running style and Mumbai straight 600m.. star superior will overtake him near 50 meters marker.
Also see star superiors run in PBMM .. good 2nd behind speedy Corfe Castle

15-Dec-2018The Champion is finally here it will be a treat to seeSC desicrate the opposition. If he stays intense stylist will run a big race. Star S is not running in the lucky Poonawalla colors so his chances as as good as isnt she lovely.

Winning Legend said ...
15-Dec-2018Factual error in IR Selections.
Star Supreme finished abreast with Sir Cecil in the Bangalore Colts’ Trials and led until beaten on the last stride."
Sir Cecil was leading. Star Supreme came from behind!
Raj-original said ...
15-Dec-2018The race is between SC and Intense Styllist.
SC will win comfortablly if there is no accident or start left or interference.
I will give 10/1 for Excellent PLACE.
Play Intense Styllist for place as much as you want.
Star superior is a sure 3rd.

15-Dec-2018Intense Stylist will not come within 5 lengths of sir Cecil. Star superior may run the Grey colt close. The others will barely be able to see their tails.
Intense stylist and excellent may battle for third spot but more than 5 lengths behind
Cheers
Godzilla said ...
15-Dec-2018Intense Stylist may pose a threat to Sir Cecil and Star Superior. Watch out. Horse in terrific form at Mumbai.
Hunter said ...
15-Dec-2018Even the owners of Star Superior admit that Sir Cecil is a better horse than Star Superior. Read:
"Star Superior’s owners, too, are hopeful of beating Sir Cecil on Sunday. “We know Sir Cecil is a great horse, but racing is a game of uncertainties and we have the next best contender in the race,” opined Zavaray Poonawalla, co-owner of Star Superior."
"Next best!" Correct.
Secretariat said ...
15-Dec-2018Last time when they both faced each other in the 1600m Star Superior gave a very tuff race to Sir Cecil...
Siddu said ...
15-Dec-2018EXELLENT will exell his performance so it should be place...
Winning Legend said ...
15-Dec-2018@Chidaji
Take Padmanabhan's video with pinch of salt. I'm sure he gave such interviews before Becket lost to Gypsy Magic/ Change of Luck (Poonawalas) and before Desert God lost to Mogadishu (Mistrys).

15-Dec-2018Hi
For all Suraj fans out there. ....it's celebration day....Star Superior will hunt down Sir Cecil at the finish....2 Bangalore based horses at close line at Mahalaxmi....while all western indian horses would be staring at quite a distance.....
The order would be.....STAR SUPERIOR wins by a length over SIR CECIL and these two are followed by EXCELLENT...
If u wanna play place....go only for EXCELLENT.....It would definitely Place
Regards
Gopal said ...
15-Dec-2018Probable odds
Sir Cecil 45/100
Star Superior 6-1
Rest of field 15 and above.
Chida said ...
14-Dec-2018It's Sir Cicil ....one horse based on the Video posted by Mr. Pabmanabhan....he is doing very well than Becket....Easy win form him.
Shaik Asif said ...
14-Dec-2018Hunter sir don't tell that Suraj is not good as david Suraj is far better than David he wil show u his superiority on star superior
Any said ...
14-Dec-20181.Sir Cecil 30/100
2.Star superior 2/1
4.Intense stylish 6/1
Manju said ...
14-Dec-2018I really don't think its one horse race.... Star superior pace is very good in the straight line than sir Cecil.... It will be close finish and star superior will pip sir Cecil.... As star superior can't compete with sir Cecil in Indian derby for 2400 mtrs.... Last chance of 1600 to beat sir cecil
Manoj said ...
14-Dec-2018One horse race by sir Cecil
Hunter said ...
14-Dec-2018Of the eight runners in 2000G, the following can be eliminated.
Awesome One: Not enough experience with the horse, the trainer and the jockey.
Bushtops: Has been fancied, but a costly failure so far.
Jetfire: When did he last win, just remind me?
So, that leaves five with a chance. Let's narrow down the field some more.
Excellent: Got a hat-trick, but the best he can hope for here is a place on the board.
Intense Stylist: A gutsy horse. Can fight for a place.
Sacred Roman: The most improved horse in the field. With Roche in the saddle, he will have a bold show on Sunday.
So, the two finalists are Sir Cecil and Star Superior. Most experts, including Major Nargolkar, are making this out to be a match race mainly because of the distance. I believe SC will easily beat SS. The latter had his best shot over a mile in Bangalore when he lost to SC narrowly. SC is simply the best horse in the country. Look at the pluses he has over SS - there is his sire Win Legend and then David Allan is a far better jockey than Suraj Narredu. As I have written before, SC is a horse which you go on backing till he is beaten.
Experts are saying let's try and pick the horse who will finish 3rd. My view is that if Suraj gets the nerves or if the tactics of Rajesh Narredu fall apart (remember Isn't She Lovely?), then the 2nd place is wide open. That's where Sacred Roman (Roche) and Intense Stylist (Trevor) come in. So, how about buying SHP ticket on both these horses? A value bet?
