1R : ZUKOR (3) lines up for the first time since April 2. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1000m at Mumbai. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. SLAM DUNK (4) returned from a spell two weeks ago when he was beaten 14 lengths into 13th over 1200m at this track. Has a fair record when second up, including three top-three finishes. Fitter and sure to run well. C'EST L'AMOUR (5) returns from a layoff of four-and-a-half months. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1200m at this track. Definite top-three chance. REMY RED (1) is back after a break of four-and-a-half months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1200m at this track. Worth plenty of thought.
2R : LORD MURPHY (2) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on March 26 finishing fourth and beaten 7 lengths over 1200m at Mumbai. Has ability and should be right in the finish. GIMME (4) is a 12-start maiden who returned last time and finished fourth at this track over 1200m, beaten 5 lengths. Plenty of scope for improvement and is a great chance to break through. FREEDOM (3) finished 11th over 2000m at Mumbai at his most recent appearance on April 1. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race. COME BACK PLEASE (9) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 3 lengths. Strips fitter and should be thereabouts.
3R : FINCH (2) is a handy type who resumes after a break of six months. Only appeared once last prep when he finished sixth over 1400m at Mumbai, beaten 9 lengths. Bhawani Singh stays on and although yet to win has been in the money on two occasions. Bold showing expected. DAULAT MAI (7) finished tenth over 1400m at Mumbai at her most recent appearance on April 1. Sure to make her presence felt. CHARMING STAR (6) was safely held when resuming last start over 1400m at this track, finishing eighth and beaten 13 lengths. Will make his presence felt. TREASURE GOLD (3) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 10 lengths. Fitter so anticipating a better run this time.
4R : Group 1 winner SUPERNATURAL (3) is back at the races for the first time since March 5. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1400m at Mumbai. Should be hard to stop. Multiple Group 3 placegetter RASPUTIN (6) disappointed last time when ninth over 2200m at Group 3 level at Bangalore after a close second in Group 3 grade at Bangalore the run prior. Coming back in trip suits so looks sure to feature. Multiple Group 2 placegetter TRULY EPIC (8) finished 7 lengths away in fifth last time out over 1400m at this track when fresh from a spell. Steps up in distance today. Has a win and three minor placings from six starts at this track and distance. Will strip fitter and can feature in the finish. Group 1 winner MOJITO (2) produced another moderate effort last start when 19 lengths from the winner in eighth over 2200m at Bangalore. Worth noting N S Parmar goes aboard. Well placed to bounce back.

5R : STAR GALLERY (4) has not raced since he scored over 1400m at Mumbai on February 19. Among the top chances. ATHENIAN (3) impressed when successful on debut over 1200m at this track two weeks ago. Likely improver who should run well again. DEMOCRACY (7) was fresh from a break last start when beaten 1.5 lengths into second over 1200m at this track. Having first attempt over this journey but gets chance to break through. MISS ALLURE (1) is a promising galloper who got the prize at her only run last prep 12 weeks ago over 1400m at Ooty. Has won when fresh from a spell in the past. Has a win and two minor placings at this journey from four starts and is one of the better hopes.
6R : Group 3 placegetter KIEFER (5) resumes today after filling a minor placing at her last appearance at Mumbai over 2000m on March 26. One of the genuine hopes in the race. FORTUNATE SON (1) finished 6 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1600m at Bangalore three weeks ago. Steps up in distance today. Reunites with N S Parmar who has three wins when on board. Best form puts him right in this. BRAVE BEAUTY (3) is coming off a determined win last start over 1400m at this track two weeks ago. Big weight drop so she is expected to be competitive again. KEY TO THE MINT (7) finished last campaign with a couple of minor placings, the latest over 2000m at Mumbai four-and-a-half months ago. Shapes as one to consider.
7R : HARRIET (10) resumes from a six months spell and looked close to a win before the break, starting favourite and finishing second at Mumbai. Tricky draw to overcome. Well placed and happy to have her on top. OPUS DEI (2) looks to launch this prep the way he ended the last four-and-a-half months ago when he scored over 1200m at Mumbai. Leading contender. MY PRINCESS (4) finished third last start at the first run back from a spell over 1400m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Placed to advantage and can take this out. GALWAY BAY (6) returned from a spell two weeks ago when she was beaten 7 lengths into fifth over 1000m at this track. Strips fitter and can turn things around.
