Wow what an atrocious ride by Sandesh i think he thought it was a 1200 mt race. Trevor made a choice by being fooled by mr PS to ride his dud. Thats racing. Both rode for the winners benifit.

I stand vindicated...Had tipped Lagarde in another thread...with Golden oaks 2 d choice...
Also had said Alluring silver won't be sighted considering her poor timing in the 1000 Guineas.
Also Leiter mor progeny will rarely win over 1600 mts

DAY..tempted to give some views.
ALLURING SILVER was the horse that caught the eye.Anybody seeing it's run in the 1000 where it was badly hampered at a crucial stage would conclude that today it cannot get best.i also felt the same but......the DYNAMIC NUMBERS SAY OTHERWISE.
The DR for this race of top four taken for Analysis are as follows
GOLDEN OAKS(600)- LAGARDE(599)-NISUS(598)- LEPORD ROCK (584)
That means ALLURING SILVER is not even in reckoning for Analysis.
Now that surprised me also.The EYES after last run say AS cannot lose butthe rating says othetwise.I would go by the rting,not thatits infallible, sometimes horses with very poor rating also win ...but then we hv to stick to some method and follow it for long term profits.
I HV seen that BANGALORE base horses when they hv rating beyyer than MUMBAI based they are definitely special.Hete all top three are Bangalore based NISDUS I felt was struggling in Bangalore guineas whilst GOLDEN OAK WAS HOOKED and LAGARDE too God.I feel today GOLDEN OAKS ( DOOSRA) and LAGARDE will dominate the. Finish with LEOPARD as the joker.
Another point is ALLURING SILVER when it finished 3 rd the timing was 1.41.92??? seriously for a classic .hope???V SERMON clocked 1.39.
I feel the 1000 was not a true rn race and in a really true run race ALLURING will definitely be found wanting.
Above just my views ....but then everyone has his own methods and may the best horsewin

LAGARDE and GOLDEN OAKS , of these whoever takes the lead entering the short straight of Pune has the higher chance to win. (Preferably GOLDEN OAKS who almost beat FF in PBMM, LAGARDE takes time to warm up but If suraj takes charge and enters the straight first he will be unbeatable)
In my opinion result should be as follows.,
1) Golden Oaks,
2)Lagarde,
3)Alluring Silver,
4)Nisus,
5)Leopard Rock
followed by Tigrio, Storm trigger and Iron Throne

Even in the scratching of Black Pearl in the 2000, the field is very competitive. There are 4 main copetitors, according to me. The public fancy will be undoubtedly Alluring Silver based on her run in the 1000G. Only the darling filly Jackie did this in recent times.However, I do not fancy her. In a mile race either you have to be up with the pace or the filly must have a stunning turn of foot. Thuis, according to me, too much is read into her dash for the finish.
Nisus in my humble view was given a mediocre ride by Akshay Kumar, who was only concentrating on getting ahead of Golden Oaks in BNG. The horse kept veering i wee too often. With stable jockey S/ John on board has improved its chances. A ms\ajor contender/
Lagarde will be the horse to beat. Ran a great race by the shortest way home to beat Nisus and Golden Oaks full of running. I* must admit that I never thought much of sire Kingda Kaa. The progenies are doing extremely well!
Leapord Rock. A silent customer. Will be in the thick of events.
In the final analysis, the race will be between Nisus and Lagarde.
Cheers

Extremely open affair, however i feel the quartet of Lagarde, Golden Oaks, Nisus and Leopard Rock will fight it out. Lagarde's run in the Bang Guineas was after a year and will defi improve on that run, but was lucky the last time out with the rail opening and came from behind. The Pune track may not be suited to his style of runnning. Golden Oaks for me is best uptill 1400 and so is Nisus but the Pune track will favour their style of running with Nisus being better than Golden Oaks. Also Nisus ran a bold race last time out and wud have learnt from that run and has won in class 2 before beating the likes of Akita pro whose gone on to win a few races in Bangalore beating some quality horses. Leopard Rock is in rousing form but hasnt gone upto the mile , however has won his races giving weight to the others. For me the race is between Leopard Rock and Nisus. Nisus being a certainty to place!!!

@rahul 71 you May not like Alluring silver but dont compare the timing. The timing was bad because it was a very slow paced race . timing wise

Observe the timing of 1000 Guineas and of Alluring Silver..it is worse than bottom weighted 8 yr old Odessa on the same day.
All the best to her and her supporters

hi
Abhishekh Poman nice analysis sirjee
Agree with you regarding Alluring Silver.
Quite high held, the connections have changed the jockey and the bottom weight should help her
Of the horses, following can be balloted out of selections
Iron Throne Storm Trigger Tigrio and Golden Oaks
reason the first two are definately just to make nos and the last named with Trevor couldnt catch either Lagarde and Nisus and should find it tough to turn the form with both Nisus and Lagarde
now the remaining
horse 3 Lagarde
The manner oin which he won the Bangalore 2000 Guineas should state a lot about him, has improved leaps and bounds since last seen in Western India. The trainer and owners have supreme confidence to turn him up here, and should have a bold show. The only issue is he stays from behind which is an issue in the Pune Straight.
horse 4 Leopard Rock
The only unbeaten horse in this filed, last win in the FD Wadia was impressive, but the issue is he faces blue collar company today with many horses having seen black type company earlier,
horse 5 Nisus
Fought a ding dong battle to lose to Lagarde last time. Earlier unbeaten in all his starts, the last run over 1600 should have sharpened him this time and the short straight should be to his liking. Replacement of Akshay Kumar with John suggests the preparedness of the connections.
horse 8 Alluring Silver
Quite unlikely last time in run beind the queen filly Forest Flame
Change in jockey as Suraj has decided to partner the colt.
Should be sharpened with the last turn and with the shrewd Trevor taking over can score here
my choices
Alluring Silver - Nisus- Lagarde - Leopard Rock
Cheers
