By Kk Lanka | 12-Oct-2025After a deep analysis into this race, I feel Magileto should win this race quite comfortably. Here are the reasons -
1) NO horse in this race matches the Terms of the race, hence the top weighted horse is scaled at 59kgs. It should have been running at 53kgs as per the terms. As it is not meeting the maximum weight to be carried (which is 59kgs), all the weights are raised by 6kgs to meet the top weight term. Magileto is the reason for this raise in the weights as a top horse, which won a Grade II race earlier in his career.
2) The bottom 2 horses are enjoying the 1.5kg allowance as filly/mare, but are not competent enough to challenge the colts/geldings in form.
3) Coming to Dream Seller, if you look at Mumbai race no.25, Magileto has beaten it fair & square by 4.5 lengths at level weights, so forget about it.
4) In the same Mumbai race no.25, Magileto has beaten Market King by 5.5 lengths at level weights, so forget about Market King.
5) Now only 2 remains for contending with Magileto, they are - Constable and Shambala. Shambala has beaten Snowfall by taking 7.5kgs in a Class I race, that too only with 1.25 lengths. But Constable is much better as it lost only 3.5 lengths to Snowfall by giving it 1.5kgs. So total 9kgs and only 5 lengths...So Constable is better than Shambala.
6) Race boils down between these 2 horses, Magileto and Constable. Now comparing to Mumbai race no. 179, both are going at level weights, but with less competent jockey on Constable. Constable should finish in PLACE.
Thank GOD, chase is over, in the absence of TIME AND TIDE, atleast this time, hopefully, Magileto will be in the Winner's Circle in his center after his last hyderbad win, which was only to enter the last invitation cup in Hyderabad Quota.
All the best.
