1R : ANOUSHKA (6) doesn't win out of turn but ran a strong race last time when beaten half a length into second over 1400m at this track. S Saqlain stays aboard and although yet to win has been in the money on five occasions. Well placed and should be in the finish. COME BACK PLEASE (7) finished fourth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1600m at this track, beaten 3 lengths. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. HELA (1) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1000m at this track, beaten 3 lengths. Strips fitter and can find the winner's circle. BETWEEN FRIENDS (5) hit the frame when resuming two runs back at this track but couldn't back it up last start when sixth, beaten 6 lengths, over 1400m at this track. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time.
2R : NEW DIMENSION (3) impressed when successful as favourite on debut over 1000m at Mumbai ten months ago and has not been produced since. Likely improver who should run well again. SUPERIMPOSE (8) has returned in good order this campaign. Collected his maiden win first-up at this track then backed it up with a solid second over 1400m at this track at the latest outing. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Likely to feature. FLASHING FAMOUS (10) is third up today. Turned in a better run last time when third, beaten 4 lengths, at this track over 1600m. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. One to consider. SOVEREIGN GREY (2) scored on debut last start over 1000m at this track on August 26 finishing 4 lengths ahead of the nearest rival. Major contender.
3R : Group 2 placegetter GAZINO (5) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 1200m at this track. Has the early speed to cross from out wide. Looks well placed this line-up so expect another big run. Group 3 placegetter SON OF A GUN (3) was always forward and boxed on to finish third over 1200m in Group 3 grade at this track last time. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Best form puts him right in this. Group 2 placegetter THE PROTECTOR (2) is yet to find the frame in two runs since resuming from a spell, the latest when fourth over 1200m in Group 3 grade at this track. Should be peaking now and is a key runner. CELLINI (7) is progressing well this preparation, landing the prize by 3 lengths last time out over 1000m at this track. Looks well placed so expect another big run.

4R : Multiple Group 1 winner FOREST FLAME (4) boasts a strong record and hasn't raced since finishing second over 2000m at Group 2 level at Mumbai on February 5. Has a great record when fresh from a spell with six wins from six runs so she should launch this prep in a positive manner. Group 1 winner NORTHERN LIGHTS (1) was successful last start over 1400m in Group 2 class at Bangalore, getting home by 3 lengths to make it six wins on the trot. Likely to be in the finish again. Group 3 winner COUNT OF SAVOY (3) broke through for a win last start when second up from a spell, scoring by 3 lengths over 1400m in Group 3 grade at this track. Has never missed the frame when third-up from a break so a top-three finish is on the cards. Group 2 placegetter SUCCESSOR (6) finished third last start over 1600m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. Should be peaking. Yet to miss the placings from nine starts at this circuit. Likely improver with top-three claims again.
5R : EXUMA (5) turned in a better run last time to finish second over 1800m at this track. Nicely placed to take this out. Group 3 placegetter TRANSCEND (11) finished second, beaten 4 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1800m at this track. Facing a tougher assignment but she is capable of running a bold race. ALEXANDROS (1) resumes from a spell of six months. Could only manage to finish fourth at the latest run over 1600m at Group 3 level at Mumbai. Nicely placed and can get off the mark. EATON SQUARE (4) made some progress last start to finish fourth over 1600m at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths. Stepping up in distance this time and is open to further improvement.
6R : PYRRHUS (12) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a nice race last time out, finishing second and beaten only 2 lengths over 1400m at this track. This looks a sterner test than last time but on her best form she is right in contention. COMMANDMENT (13) doesn't win very often but ran a nice race last time out over 1200m at this track, finishing second and beaten a head. Finds a tougher race but he has the talent to test this line-up. MAJESTIC WARRIOR (3) finished fifth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1200m at this track, beaten 2.75 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.
