I made 2 terrible observations today. Its another matter that I corrected myself after paddock looks. Still I feel ashamed of underestimating Trakila's class. I also noticed that Heart was struggling to stay a mile last race under pressure, still given it's past performances I chose it over classy Trakila who definitely has gained stamina with age now. The moment 6-1 ran poor race which ran close to Heart I changed my choice but it's my responsibility to accept my wrong observation. 2nd wrong choice was in race no. 2 where I gave over importance to no. 3 Indian Jack's past performance. Looked very rusty. I should have stucked with my 2nd choice no. 6 place. It had current form. 

My choices may win or lose that's part of race , but strategy and reading shouldn't be wrong. That's why I felt like apologising. 

Great @Ashokmysore sir congratulations deary winner thanku sir God bless you please post and Lay bets regular 

@lone wolf  sir you are the best,, very knowledgeable and your write up is too too good sir Hatts off,, first time I ever came across such brilliant and thorough knowledge salute to u sir 

1. This is a very weak race where anything can happen. NOBLE PURSUIT (7) Lightweight, consistent, proven at 1400-1600M. If he is fit he could score.

2. SIMRAN S ATTITUDE (1) is the class horse of the race — top rated, top form, but she carries top weight (62.5 kg) she's almost certain to be in the frame. HERMES (8) HERMES could place at longer odds

3. CAPE TIGANI (7) Lightly raced, P Trevor riding, lowest weight in the field, scope for improvement. 

4. GHIRARDELLI'S (6) reliability makes him the logical winner. He's been knocking on the door all season — this looks like the race where he breaks through. 

5. ENCHANTING (6) The return of Suraj Narredu is a big positive, and she has shown she can win at this level. However, the wide draw and inconsistent recent form are concerns. She'll likely be running on late. 

6. MAIN STREET (5) is the stayer in the field and P Trevor's presence is a huge plus. She will be finishing strongest of all.

7. HEART (2) Progressive, in-form, top jockey, well-bred for stamina.

8. DARDANUS (3) is a solid, consistent, stamina-laden colt who will run his race. 2000m is genuine unknown, but the form says he's progressive and game. If he stays, he's 2nd or better.

9. MIDNIGHT BLUE (12) is the value play in this race. Draw 1 + light weight + early speed = dangerous front-running profile. 

10. TESTSU (8) Progressive 3yo, won over this trip, in good form, top jockey and gets the nod.

Dear All,

Play DARDANUS in DERBY and go back with smile on your face...

Thakur 

5th Race.  DUBAI RULER.

Jayden Alford 1st winner.

Hello folks, the Derby excitement starts today, and for me, the card looks good enough to feel confident about my choices.

Have observations for just a few races today. Will skip the first two races and start my day with ROYAL MEMBER. I don't see any competition for RM today, and what makes me absolutely confident about this one is the fact that Suraj is riding, not because I'm a fan of his but because of what I see in the previous runs. The last time Suraj was on RM it was half money favourite, so clearly, Javed Khan is all out to grab this one.

The 6th race, had Mindful, Sativur, and Main Street in my initial contenders list, however Main Street is coming off a respiratory infection just about 20 days ago, and I feel it would impact his performance today, then, between Sativur and Mindful, based on course and distance performance my final choice is MINDFUL.

For the Derby I'm sure one and all would think that the race should be between the Admiringly and Shrishti duo, but there are two more who caught my eye. Saiko, no doubt has not shown anything in past runs to indicate that 2000m is well within reach, but I always consider the Razeen factor for long distance races, hence Saiko cannot be ignored, and the other one I am considering happens to be DARDANUS. Now if you look at this Derby field, it's one of the most pathetic one that we have seen in recent times, with average field rating of just 55, and even though Admiringly is on a winning spree, and with victory at the Derby distance too, and Shrishti, coming off a smart 6.5 lengths victory, over 1400m, they both can't be termed as unbeatable. If I compare the company that these runners have had runs with, as compared to that of Dardanus, I find Dardanus has performed in slightly better company, so my final choice boils down to DARDANUS.

In the 9th race had only two choices, Soleva and Cashaban, however, Soleva is a 3yo filly, carrying top weight, and I'm sure that would surely tell on her performance over the last furlong or so, hence CASHABAN happens to be a rock solid banker for me here.

The last race was quite intriguing for me, initially, purely based on raw timings I felt that the race is between Laamika and Valerian, however, deep diving further I found that Laamika had a recent respiratory infection, so that left me with Valerian as a good bet, but once again, digging further I found that, based on common runs, TETSU is about 2 lengths superior today. Tetsu won the last race carrying 58kgs and today, is 56.5kgs, I call such a situation the Handicapper's Delight.

All the best, guys. I have shared, based on my best studies, however, at the end of the day if my choices do not oblige I'm sure of at least one person waiting to bash me to smithrens, but if my choices do oblige I don't really expect any accolades, I'm used to it.

Hi

Three good value bets. (WIN)

MINDFUL 

SHRISHTI 

SASEKA

Play bindass. Best of lucks.

NANDI (Kolkata)

Derby day with 10 race card. Please choose your races wisely.

1) I would skip. Looks a tough race. Don't fall in trap of horse getting backed . Leaving such race is better. (2/3/6/7 any can win) 

2) I like no. 3 Indian Jack for place. Class drop and a winner in same class in past. Good rider. Should try today. No. 6 is my next choice.

3) Lay no. 7 Cape Tigani. I strongly think connections should have tried this colt in a 1400 mt race again. Last time it lost to in form horse which won  again after beating this horse. But a mile with class jump looks very difficult. Eat it if opens below 2/1.

4) Lay no. 7 Timeless fortune. I am surprised again that connection entered this superb horse in a wrong distance. I am not saying it can't win but for sure it will be very difficult. And if it opens favorite I am very happy to lay this horse. It never ran above 7f and never won above 6f. Let's see how it wins a mile race. I will lay it at any odds below 2/1 happily. 

5) I like no. 2 Foujita for each way. The way it comes from back at cruising speed this 1400 mt race will suit it. I don't know why Trainer didn't choose stable jockey Varun even when he is available. Still I hope the horse will do it's job. Lay no. 9 Three little words if opens favorite. 

6) Play no. 2 Mindful. In form horse. Up in class but others are not in their prime so Mindful can win this. No. 1 looks next best. 

7) Play no. 2 Heart. Yes I saw it was fighting hard last time to win. But that was a mile race. This horse travels better the further it runs. I think Trakila is best upto a mile but 2000 mt would suit Heart more. Play heart and just leave a very tiny amount on horse no. 4 Cashius Gold. It used to be my follow horse in past when it was called Magneto. Very good stayer. But lost it's form after setback.It may run last as well no harm putting 5% of your investment at 20/1 or 30/1. 

8) Lay no. 1 Admiringly..why play any horse if you get a donkey to lay at small price. Lay Admiringly and enjoy the better horse winning it. I know Shrishti looks strong but I am happy laying no. 1 at any odds below 2/1. If it opens above 2/1 then I would skip. 

9) Play no. 1 Soleva. Hope bookies be generous and give good odds. Should win comfortably. No. 10 Sultana can try for place. 

10) Play no. 4 Lamika place. Won class 5 same distance, finished third in current class but ran a forward race and now back to to 6f should suit. There are couple of good horses so just play place.

Storm Chaser....Mindful.....Dardanus 

1-6 TOTALLY EPIC - Recent run a good 3rd over 1400m with Azharuddin in the saddle. Extra 200m will suit. Shoukd win this time.

2-6 FORTUNE WARRIOR - Last two races withdrawn. If runs should win this race with Vishal Bunde in the saddle. 1600m suits.

3-2 STORMCHASER - Ran an impressive 2nd over 1800m with Sandesh. Now going over 1600m with A Raj. One horse race.

4-8 MULTIVERSE - By speaking of which. Ran a good 2nd recently over 1800m with P Tesever in the saddle who is retained. Now going over 1600m will suit. Should win at bottom weights.

5-5 DR DOOM - Recent impressive winner over 1200m 1:12: with Vishal Bunde in the saddle. Will repeat going over 1400m.

6-3 SATIVUR - Recent 3rd over 1600m. Now going over 2000m with A Raj in the saddle. 2 MINDFUL will find it difficult to win in class1.

7-2 HEART - Won well over 1600m. Had won over 2000 and 2400m previously. Therefore 2000m with Suraj in the saddle Shoukd win.

8-4 KNOTTY NASH - By Deauville. Recent winner over 1800m. Distance is not an issue. Should go well and win Derby with Yash in the saddle.

9-1 SOLEVA - First run in Kolkata over 1400m with P Tejesver. Will win this time over 1200m.

10-7 PRINCESS P - Three 2nd out of four runs. Shoukd win this time with an apprentice on board going over 1200m.

( 1, 7 surprise horses )

Race 1 is full of googlies, just like today’s Pune 1st race. But yes, a few HAMMERED the race, and many got HAMMERED from the 1st race itself. 

Same goes here.

Debutant Olaf  as of now, I am keeping him aside because of the 1st run. But seeing his track work and the runners he ran with, they are all top contenders. Again, the 1st run is the question mark. Odds will give some clarity. But even if I declare him in the top 3, I still have 2 spots remaining.

Then comes the next googly, Noble Pursuit. The race card is giving this horse as the 1st selection, coming from a 1-year layoff. Don’t know the hidden preparation.

Then comes the remaining ones, where I myself got a googly because No Worry (2) came with top timings but ratings bit less and Cristaldo (8) I am not liking, but it came with a top rating and next-choice timings.

So I mentioned, Race 1 is very googly-like, just like today’s Pune 1st race.

Anyhow, I overcame today’s googly and hit a SIX by selecting High Ground at g8ood place value. 

Now let’s try to overcome the Kolkata 1st race googly! 

FINAL CALL

If Olaf hits the board, no surprise. My bad luck not to keep him in my pick.

If Noble Pursuit comes and hits the board, again my bad luck for not keeping him in my pick.

Now No Worry (2) and Cristaldo (8) are left, and I will go with No Worry (2), keeping a small edge from the jockey.

Also, this set I kept as a reference for 1200 metres and then scaled it to the actual distance of 1600 metres.

 NO WORRY (2)

Win: 5 units at any odds

HAMMER on Place: 25 units at any odds starting from 50 paisa to any odds )

1st race and Class V... no need to go heavy another 9 game changing races we got...

That’s all, people.

@ V Vyas,

Of late, it's presentations from people like you, Passion & Patience, Lone Wolf and Godolphin that keep this HT platform alive.

The unique manner in which you all study the card and help us understand certain nuances before making the final call deserves lot of appreciations.

While on one side, we find very boring remarks like 'AK47 should win' and '5 units win hammer, 95 units place hammer', you foursome and a few more like 'Transparency' and 'Arun Boxy', have been enlivening the proceedings here, and truly coming to our rescue on several occasions.

Please continue with this selfless service as much as possible and make the sport more and more thrlling by infusing fresh life into it through your innovative writings.

God bless.

Top Jockey Suraj with Shristhi winner ???? one horse enjoy the weekend
