1R : ROYAL ICON (1) lines up on the back of a 3.5 lengths fourth over 1400m at this track. Sure to prove tough to beat. SHEER ELEGANCE (3) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1600m at this track, beaten 3 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can build on that solid recent effort. SEMINOLE WIND (4) is a talented filly who tackled tougher grade last time, finishing 16 lengths behind Something Royal over 1400m in Group 3 class at this track. Has been in sound form this prep with a win and two minor placings from four outings. One of the main contenders. BOHEMIAN STAR (7) progressed nicely last start to finish a close second over 1500m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake.
2R : HAPPINESS (7) made progress last time out, finishing 2 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1200m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. AUTUMN LIGHT (4) started at big odds on debut last start but ran a bold race, finishing third and beaten 2 lengths over 1200m at this track. Can get off the mark this time.

KNOTTY WONDER (8) has raced twice. Was fourth on debut then finished 7 lengths from the winner in second last time out over 1200m at this track. Further improvement is likely.
3R : KNOTTY DANCER (1) is a distance specialist who improved sharply on his tenth two starts back at Group 2 level at Bangalore with a win as favourite over 1200m at this track four weeks ago, getting home by 3 lengths. Steps up a level but he is worth serious consideration. PRICELESS GOLD (2) is back after a break of nine weeks. Looking to emulate his win at Mysore at the beginning of last prep. Looks a winning chance. IMPERIAL BLUE (4) is having his first run since March 5. Goes very well when fresh with three wins from five starts, the latest over 1400m at Bangalore at the start of last prep. Capable of playing a major role. EMELDA (6) finished third last start at the first run back from a spell over 1200m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths. Better for that outing. Meeting a deeper field this time but she is good enough to play a major role.

KNOTTY CHARMER (3) is racing well with a win by 2.25 lengths at Bangalore two back then a second over 1400m at Group 3 level at this track last time. Akshay Kumar who has scored on him two times retains the mount. Sure to play a big role. SOMETHING ROYAL (8) made it two wins on the bounce last time out when she scored by 2.5 lengths over 1400m in Group 3 grade at this track. Must raise the bar but she has the ability to test this field. MULTICROWN (4) is a last-start winner three weeks ago, scoring by 5.5 lengths over 1400m at this track. One of the key contenders.
