1R : ALMAS (3) is resuming from a break of ten weeks for a new stable after finishing sixth over 1000m at Pune at her latest outing. Goes well when resuming from a spell, including two minor placings from four starts. Sure to go well. TICKER (7) is close to a win after a string of minor placings, the latest when second over 1100m at this track. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. MISO (1) is back after a break of 11 weeks. At the last run before the layoff he finished sixth over 1400m at Madras. Nicely placed and can get off the mark. MARS (6) was beaten 26 lengths into fifth at the second run back from a break over 1600m at this track at her latest appearance. Better than recent efforts suggest.
2R : Group 3 placegetter CLIFFORD (3) scored by 1.75 lengths last start at this track over this distance. Is yet to miss the frame from three starts at this distance, including two wins. Has a high cruising speed. Will prove tough to beat. HARVESTIME (5) is a handy galloper who was 0.8 lengths from the winner in second when resuming last start over 1400m at this track. Among the leading chances. CLEVER HANS (4) did little and finished 8 lengths from the winner in fifth over 1400m at this track last start, a less impressive effort than his fourth at this track the run before. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. JAWAI (6) ran well below her best last time over 1400m at this track, beaten 4 lengths into sixth at $4.50. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Deserves respect on best figures.
3R : Group 3 placegetter REDOUBTABLE (6) comes here off a break of 14 months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1400m at this track. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. Group 2 placegetter SAVVY CHIC (4) fought on for third last start over 1600m in Group 2 class at this track, making it two minor placings in a row. Drawn to enjoy a good run on the speed. Perfectly placed and is sure to play a major role. Multiple Group 3 winner AWESOME ONE (2) is coming off a last-start fourth, beaten 4.5 lengths, over 1400m at this track. Is very effective at this distance with eight wins from 21 runs. Strong top-three chance. Group 2 placegetter TIGRIO (3) turned in a fine effort to score by 1.3 lengths at this track and distance last time out to continue his outstanding recent form. No reason he cannot salute again.
4R : SPORTING TRAINER (4) finds it hard to win but ran a strong race last time when beaten a nose into second over 1200m at this track. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Sure to be in the finish. LION QUEEN (2) started at $6.50 last time and ran below expectations, finishing seventh and beaten 5 lengths at this track over 1200m. Nicely placed to make amends. COSMIC COWBOY (6) returned from a break of four months and finished second over this course and distance last time out. Should be prominent from the outset. Will be in this for a long way. SUN GOD (5) was beaten 4.5 lengths into fifth in a 1200m contest at this track three-and-a-half weeks ago. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.
5R : Multiple Group 3 winner LONG LEASE (2) is in top form with two wins on end, the most recent an effortless 2.5 lengths victory over 1600m at Group 3 level at this track a month ago. Suraj Narredu who has four wins when partnering stays on. Sure to play a big role. Group 1 placegetter MEROPI (3) clocked-in third behind LONG LEASE last time out at Group 3 level at this track over 1600m. Yet to miss the placings here in an excellent record which boasts four wins and one placing. Sure to be there at the business end. Group 3 placegetter NAUTICA (4) fought on well for second last start over 1600m in Group 3 grade at this track, making it two minor placings in a row. Nikhil Naidu has been in the money at the last three rides. Expected to measure up. ZUMA (8) lines up on the back of a 5 length third over 1600m at this track as favourite. Among the main hopes.

6R : AMBER KNIGHT (4) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by 2.5 lengths over 2000m at this track as favourite. That continued the good form this campaign, with two wins from six outings. Top chance again. RHAPSODY IN GREEN (2) kicked off this campaign with a win two runs ago. Couldn't follow that up last time out when second over 2000m at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. MAKHTOOB (1) could only manage ninth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1600m at this track, beaten 10 lengths. Looks well placed so expect another big run. SUPERSTELLAR (3) is a four-year-old returning from a spell of 12 weeks. Opened the last preparation with a respectable third, beaten 12 lengths, at Hyderabad over 1600m. The least attractive option in the small line-up.
