Kavya 4 yo. Good 2nd yesterday

Pet distance to be watched 1600 m next run

Dear Race Book,,

Hats off your capabilities. SELECTION.S all won

@saaj kol.. Excellent explanation and choice. I follow you

Looks like 'blood bath' taking place at Pune today ! Maybe, a thorough cleansing is going on race after race and bookies' coffers are being sufficiently filled up for the great Derby weekend.

@ SAAZ COOL 

super super performance both side  LAY & PLAY keep it up

THANK YOU.......

I am not writing this to tell u how happy I am. But just wanna share the journey of the most successful day this season after starting really bad.

First of all Thanks to Pune. No matter I lose or I win. I always say Pune is the best centre for genuine races. At least 90% of the races are run on merit. 

In the first race I lost 11k with tax played 1 place 10k. It started terrible where the jockey almost slipped from saddle, got the check badly in the first 150 mt. Then again at last 200 mt and that was enough for an apprentice to lose. Inspite of all this it finished less than 3 leghths behind the horse which finished 3rd.

THEN.....From 2nd race my luck changed. And I won't tell you how much I made playing 2 and 6 both at 4/1 and 8/1 and laying no 3 at 60 paisa in 2nd race. But it made my day. They I layed Kavya and Real Gold with massive confidence. Till here I was happy but not satisfied because my days best was to run in last race. I was disappointed with it last time and I don't know if Intiaz Sir is reading my comment. But it really ran a forward race as I expected. Hahaha. Just kidding. I am sure if I can read it they are better to understand. And the moment Age of Reason sat 2nd I was ready to collect my money.  Lol.

I wanted to share this with our HT family because very rarely it happens that u expect ur favorite horse to run in a pattern and it exactly does that. Love u Imtiaz Sir and Neraj. U guys made my day. 

In the last race I wanted to write 30% win 70% place. By mistake I wrote 60% place.

REGARDS

KING(HYDERABAD)

5(7) Each way.

75% on place.

1. ETOILE (4) she's a genuine top 3 threat. Her last run was a clear signal she's coming back to hand, the trip suits,she's the each-way overlay in this field. MILA (1) is the class horse and most likely the winner. 

2. THE OLIVE CROWN (6) This colt is bred for 1600m, not sprints. His last run over the trip was his best.He's the most progressive horse in the race — each run better than the last, and his 1600m debut was a clear signal. The CNB ON gear change is a trainer's vote of confidence.

3. SNOW GIRL(7) is a classic "hidden horse" — her last run looks like a defeat on paper, She led a 1400m race and was only collared in the final 100m. That's a horse crying out for a shorter trip. Today she gets 1200m — 200m less to hold on. Neeraj Rawal on a lightweight front-runner that's a live set up. AZAADI (1) is the "if"horse. If she reprodces Bangalore win she wins if not nowhere. Top weight, wide draw, short odds. 

4. STARIA (7) she's progressive, well weighted & ideal trip. Undercover (10) could place at odds. 

5. KAVYA (1) is the call — class usually prevails, and her last-start win was visually stunning. The 1800M is the only question mark, but she was strong at the finish last time. If low odds not worth of taking risk. WINFIELD (6) Eachway is the play. 

6. DIAGO GARCIA (1) Genuine Class Dropper He's the most likely horse to finish in top 3 — the weight beats him, but class carries him into the frame. AGATHA (4) She has been in the finish of almost every race she's contested. That's the profile of a horse who is due.At 49kg, with her consistency, she'll be there at the finish. 

7. SHAANDAAR (1) is the most talented horse in the race. If he stays 2000m, he wins — probably comfortably. The CNB on, the Shroff factor, the turn of foot, the pedigree — everything points to him being the class act. If above 2/1 worth taking chance. Otherwise MONTEREY (4) is the improving stayer in a race He gets 4.5kg off Shaandaar, is proven at 2000m, and is still on the upgrade. He hasn't won yet — but this is his best chance to date.

Continued part

6) 10 Beyond Stars place

7) 4 Monterey win/place 

-Lay and Play bets of the day. 

1) Play no.1 place even if it's 50 paisa. First time running in the lowest class. Will try for win. Should be on board and looks safe. If it's less than 50 paisa place then I will skip.

2) I like no. 2 Fire away and no. 6 The olive crown. I would play both if odds allow. Else I will just lay no. 3 Manuel. Manuel is a good horse undoubtedly but last time it got beaten after taking a lead in last 50 mt. in a 1400 mt race. That gives me a hint it needs some more time to beat quality field at 1600 mt. I may be wrong. Let's see. 

3) Tough call very unpredictable race. I will leave this one. I like 1 and 7 but 3 and 4 can also win. So better skip and not gamble blindly. 

4) Play no. 10 Undercover place at any odds. If gets a clear run can win as well. Should be on board. Place bet is safe. 10% win and 90% place. Keep 11 and 9 in your tanala, forecast combination. 

5) I would lay no. 1 Kavya today. Last time I tipped it to win. Undoubtedly it's the best mare in this field but giving so much weight to the entire field will not do good for it's chances. The pace of the race will also be a factor where I think couple of horses will try to run away with their feather weights. And may leave too much for Kavya to cover in last 2 furlongs. I am just assuming but that's the reason I would lay Kavya and not because it's weak here. 

6) Lay no. 2 real Gold. In it's last run Victory flair ran less than 3 lengths behind this horse and today Victory Flaire is almost 6 kgs better. I like Victory Flaire but I would play safe and lay no. 2 at any odds. Hope it opens less than 2/1. 

7) Play no. 2 Age of reason each way. Because of just 2 place available you will get place odds also bank it. 30% win 60% place. Last time also I tipped Age of reason and I didn't like the way it was kept too far away at the first bend. This horse should race up with the field in 3rd 4th position and just cruise away after the final bend. It stays well. No. 4 is the only threat and that's the reason I am going for each way and not all out win only. My horse has already beaten 4 in 1600 mt race but 4 ran a gud race last in a 2000 mt race. So play age of reason each way. If ridden well should win easily.

PUNE OCTOBER FEST : hot weather condition. 

1. LUMINOSITY  : Gave up to finished 7th in last mile efforts, shown timing 1.40 .00 was good compared with set , now 200 met less to travel. Given Swimmings .. AN EACH WAY PROFILE .

2. MANUEL  : Cvered a good ground in both starts , now this mile trip may suits well ,Tracking fairly well , CAN BEAT THIS SET ON SERIOUS EFFORTS ,INTENTION ONLY.

3 . CAVIER QUEEN : 1st run in Pune , on paper looks good ,but Pune track n weather is the  main concern .. Let see how she performs. 

4. UNDERCOVER : Lost narrowly carring 61.5 kg ,time 1.09 was good (4.4 P ) ,now on promotion but SHOULD BE THERE AT BUSY END.

5. KAVYA : Should be respected for her efforts in the Term races, and the company she faced , However it is intresting to watch how she can carry todays heavy weight. IN CONTENTION, LOOKS GOOD .

6. REAL GOLD & VICTORY FLAIR  : REAL GOLD beat V.F. convincingly, but now weight diff is high still can't be ignore.  While V.FLAIR Having decent handicap chance last run was really good . BOTH HAVING FAIR CHANCE.

7. MONETARY  : Finished good 2nd @ same distance, time 2.06 brought him to contention also getting fair wt allowance.  AN EACH WAY PROFILE. 

DAYS BEST  : KAVYA.

STARIA - A rising form horse gets it's pet distance again to compete in Class 3 on promotion, may face some problems due to draw number otherwise looks good for another victory under it's belt. Could be backed by punters their pockets out, must be the main contender for this race. That's it One best bet for the today . Good luck

Choose 2 in Win 2 in place 

1) A confusing race wherein there seems no clarity to pinpoint a winner. Gotta wait till there is some medium of a gamble and then maybe the penny will drop. If you can avoid such races, then you can atleast say, ' I'm practicing self control', which is a key ingredient to coming out of the racecourse unscathed. 

2) On both the occasions with KRITISH BHAGATH astride MANUEL ran commendably. Tracking attractively and with VIVEK G on saddle looks a potential winner. Uh-oh, but the trip is over the mile and the mile trip can really expose the shortcomings in the pedigree of a 3yo. Can't bank on the progeny of FIERO over the mile. That leaves us with FIRE AWAY and THE OLIVE CROWN, who have displayed some potential over the mile. Choose your pick.

3) AAZADI won in a smart timing of 1.12.77s at Bangalore. At Pune carrying 60kgs ran a disappointing 4th to ENSKY carrying 59.5kgs. Did it lose because it couldn't shoulder the top weight? It's been taken care of by choice of jockey SIDDHARTH S, who claims 3.5kgs allowance, but in the same breath the trainer is fitting blinkers on it for the first time and that is kind of anathema to me. CAVIAR QUEEN who ran well on debut over the 1200m trip, is coming without a run after 7 months. The best performed horse is actually MYSTICA, who ran close enough to LADY SCARLETT and MARGARETTA. Has had the benefit of a run and with the positive switch in jockey to ANTONY RAJ, is primed to win.

4) QUEEN OF BEAUTIES, a good performer over 7 furlongs, came a cropper when campaigned in class III. Tracking extremely well but trying its fortunes in class III over 1200m. There a two or three candidates who can put it across QUEEN OF BEAUTIES, but UNDERCOVER who is shedding some weight of his back holds the whiphand. Carrying 61.5kgs, UNDERCOVER lost by a neck with SANDESH astride, but SANDESH seems to be enduring a nightmarish phase, and that run is best ignored. 

5) KAVYA is the highest rated horse, the best performed horse and the form horse, but it's circle of comfort seems to be at 1600m. Trip is over 1800m, and to win, it has to step out of its comfort zone. YOUREMANORBORNE though rated much lower, it's circle of influence begins exactly at 1800m. Carrying 59.5kgs, when it beat TRPOICAL PARADISE by 8.75 lengths in a time of 1.48.56s at Mumbai, it displayed class I potential. Agreed, TROPICAL PARADISE can't hold a candle to KAVYA, but the timing doesn't lie. At bottom handicap, if it encounters firm ground, YOUREMANORBORNE has a really good chance.

6) REAL GOLD won well over 1400m on debut, and that suggests two things. Firstly it has scope for improvement and secondly it is a little short on experience. This is like a double edged sword and it can cut both ways. Then it has to contend with the mile trip, but the pedigree suggests it can. The principal threat is from VICTORY FLAIR, who finished 4th to REAL GOLD , 3 lengths behind inspite of the rider losing his whip. Now running on nearly 8kg better terms. In its next outing over the mile, VICTORY FLAIR gave an almighty scare to MAHOGANY. In the home stretch, with a 2 length lead, for some reason the rider never took out the whip and went down by half a length. The trainer must be tutoring like, THE WHIP IS FOR WHIPPING! Spare the rod and spoil the party.

7) The last time CASSPIAN ran over 2000m, the odds suggest it was a no hoper, but the winner ALEXIOS had to pull out all the stops to shrug of CASSPIAN in the last furlong. Jockey ANTONY RAJ on ALEXIOS was warned for the excessive use of the whip. AGE OF REASON finished 3rd and previously had the beating of MONTEREY over the mile. SHAANDAAR is carrying the top weight and is yet to go over this distance, and over the mile trip finished 4.25 lengths behind ALEXIOS. ALEXIOS has beat SHAANDAAR and AGE OF REASON, and AGE OF REASON has beat MONTEREY and CASSPIAN has finished the closest to ALEXIOS, and by that twisted logic, CASSPIAN is tipped to win.

Race 1. HIGH GROUND likely to smash the field.

Mystica....Namiri....Caspian 

PUNE RACE SELECTION: 
RACE 1: THE ASTER ROSE PLATE (1400 Mts) — Class 5 (1-26)

Pace Map:

    Likely Leaders / Pace Setters: Highground (12) will press from Barrier 1, with Mila (1) and Lickety Split (3) positioned close to the speed.

    Mid-Pack Stalkers: Ashwa Almaty (8), Etoile (4), Remy Red (7).

    Late Closers: Jagger (5), Exhalt (10), We Still Believe (11).

Verdict:

    TOP PICK (WINNER): MILA (1) — Drops significantly back down to Class 5 while carrying top weight. Her recent runs in Class 4 against tough company (Spotlight, Minari) show she holds a distinct class edge over this field.

    VALUE PICK (EACH-WAY): REMY RED (7) — Back-to-back placed efforts (3rd) over 1400m and 1600m indicate he is in good form. Well-handicapped at 57 kg and gets a favorable run over his ideal distance.

    DARK HORSE / LONGSHOT: HIGHGROUND (12) — Bottom weight (50 kg) with Barrier 1 advantage. Showed improved speed last time out behind Phantasmiq and can catch the field off-guard if allowed an easy lead.

Confidence Rating: 7/10 — MILA holds a clear class advantage, but top weight in Class 5 always carries a slight handicap burden.


RACE 2: THE AUBURN PLATE (1600 Mts) — Maiden 3-Year-Olds

Pace Map:

    Likely Leaders / Pace Setters: Fire Away (2) drawn inside will attempt to dictate the tempo.

    Mid-Pack Stalkers: Manuel (3), The Olive Crown (6).

    Late Closers: Aegean Sea (1), Muqaddar (4), Scorcher (5).

Verdict:

    TOP PICK (WINNER): MANUEL (3) — Produced an excellent 2nd-place finish over 1400m last time out behind Noraiah. Steps up appropriately to 1600m with P. Shroff's yard finding ideal form.

    VALUE PICK (EACH-WAY): FIRE AWAY (2) — Finished a close 2nd over 1600m to Floyd last month. Has proven distance aptitude over a mile and will be right in the mix from the start.

    DARK HORSE / LONGSHOT: THE OLIVE CROWN (6) — Placed 3rd in a 1600m handicap last time out. Shows steady stamina progression and could sneak into the top three at generous odds.

Confidence Rating: 8/10 — Manuel and Fire Away stand out on form compared to the rest of the maiden field.


RACE 3: THE OCTOBER HANDICAP (1200 Mts) — 3yo Rated 20-46

Pace Map:

    Likely Leaders / Pace Setters: Azaadi (1) from gate 6 and Saffron Glow (5) will go early.

    Mid-Pack Stalkers: Caviar Queen (3), Mystica (4), Latios (2).

    Late Closers: Snow Girl (7), Hiranyamayee (6).

Verdict:

    TOP PICK (WINNER): AZAADI (1) — Highly promising performance last time out finishing 4th in Class 4 behind Ensky. Running in 3yo company here gives her a major edge despite the top weight burden of 59.5 kg.

    VALUE PICK (EACH-WAY): CAVIAR QUEEN (3) — Placed 2nd behind Queen Of Beauty in Mumbai and possesses plenty of room for improvement. Very competitive at this rating mark (30).

    DARK HORSE / LONGSHOT: MYSTICA (4) — Placed consistently as a 2-year-old and made a solid late movement in her last run over 1200m. A gear adjustment/pace setup could see her hit the board.

Confidence Rating: 7.5/10 — Azaadi brings strong Class 4 form into a 3yo restricted handicap.


RACE 4: THE GRUEZI PLATE (1200 Mts) — Class 3 (40-66)

Pace Map:

    Likely Leaders / Pace Setters: Manor House (2), Staria (7), and Esteban (9) will break fast to battle for early dominance.

    Mid-Pack Stalkers: Wind Dancer (4), Rambo (3), Undercover (10).

    Late Closers: Gold Bar (11), Alpine Star (1), Storm Cloud (5).

Verdict:

    TOP PICK (WINNER): STARIA (7) — Extremely impressive recent win over 1200m in Class 4. Carries a lightweight penalty, gets Visor added, and possesses the explosive early gear to win step up into Class 3.

    VALUE PICK (EACH-WAY): WIND DANCER (4) — Highly consistent with multiple close 2nd-place finishes over 1000m and 1200m in Class 3. Will stalk the heavy pace and launch a potent stretch drive.

    DARK HORSE / LONGSHOT: GOLD BAR (11) — Arrives on a winning streak after back-to-back 1200m victories in Class 5 and Class 4. Bottom weight of 53 kg gives her a puncher's chance step up in class.

Confidence Rating: 8.5/10 — High-quality competitive sprint, but Staria and Wind Dancer have superior form lines.


RACE 5: THE THREPTIN FILLIES' & MARES' STAKES (GR.3) (1800 Mts) — 3yo+ Fillies & Mares

Pace Map:

    Likely Leaders / Pace Setters: Youremanorborne (7) and Winfield (6) will dictate an even tempo out front.

    Mid-Pack Stalkers: Kavya (1), Elysium (4), Namiri (5).

    Late Closers: Pyrite (2), Regina Memorabilis (3).

Verdict:

    TOP PICK (WINNER): KAVYA (1) — The undisputed class horse of the race. Outstanding Grade/Terms winner (Rating 113) who dominated the 1600m turf last time out in Pune. The 1800m suits her run style perfectly.

    VALUE PICK (EACH-WAY): ELYSIUM (4) — Highly consistent Bangalore migrant with exceptional middle-distance form. Winner over 1600m in Class 2 last start and poses the biggest threat to the favorite.

    DARK HORSE / LONGSHOT: YOUREMANORBORNE (7) — Front-running mare who ran a big second in Class 2 over 2000m last time out. If allowed to set untroubled fractions on the lead, she could hold on for a valuable place.

Confidence Rating: 9/10 — Kavya stands out as the class performer of the day.


RACE 6: THE RAO SAHEB KEDARI GOLD TROPHY (1600 Mts) — Class 4 (20-46)

Pace Map:

    Likely Leaders / Pace Setters: Real Gold (2) and Brasilier (3) will ensure a honest pace.

    Mid-Pack Stalkers: Diego Garcia (1).

    Late Closers: Back-markers off the pace.

Verdict:

    TOP PICK (WINNER): REAL GOLD (2) — Maiden winner last time out over 1400m in convincing style. The step up to 1600m fits her pedigree (Win Legend) and opens up strong Class 4 potential.

    VALUE PICK (EACH-WAY): DIEGO GARCIA (1) — Classy performer dropping into Class 4 company after holding his own in higher divisions. Distance is right up his alley, and he carries top weight with proven class.

    DARK HORSE / LONGSHOT: BRASILIER (3) — Re-entered after previous back-to-back wins earlier in his campaign. Capable of surprising if he settles nicely over the 1600m trip.

Confidence Rating: 7/10 — Solid contest where Real Gold holds the highest upside.


RACE 7: THE CHEF D'OEUVRE PLATE (2000 Mts) — Class 4 (20-46)

Pace Map:

    Likely Leaders / Pace Setters: Monterey (4) will look to dictate terms or stay near the front from Barrier 1, with Casspian (6) moving up early to track the pace.

    Mid-Pack Stalkers: Shaandaar (1) and Age Of Reason (2) will settle comfortably in mid-division.

    Late Closers: Esconido (3) and Magical Star (5) will wait off the pace to make their stretch runs.

Verdict & Selection Analysis

    TOP PICK (WINNER): AGE OF REASON (2)

        Analysis: Put in an eye-catching performance last start over this exact 2000m distance when finishing a strong 2nd to Alexios (clocking 2-06.94). The daughter of Study Of Man stays the distance comfortably, carries a ideal weight (57.5 kg).

    VALUE PICK (EACH-WAY): MONTEREY (4)

        Analysis: Showed consistent form over the staying trips, including a victory over 1600m beating Age Of Reason and a 2nd-place finish last start over 2000m behind Golden Eye. Has proven stamina and draws ideally inside to control the early tempo.

    DARK HORSE / LONGSHOT: CASSPIAN (6)

        Analysis: Produced a massive forward jump last start when finishing 2nd over 2000m behind Alexios at long odds, carrying bottom weight (50 kg). Strikes in at a low weight (52 kg) once again and could easily grab a place if allowed a clean run up front.

Confidence Rating: 8/10 — Age Of Reason and Monterey look significantly better suited to the 2000m distance than the rest of the Class 4 field.


happy punting..
