1R : D BATTLE (7) could only manage tenth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1200m at this track, beaten only a long neck. Goes up a rung or two but she is capable of running a bold race. GOLDEN INZIO (8) comes here off a last-start fourth, beaten 4 lengths, over 1200m at this track. Likely to be in the finish. MIRACLE MARY (4) failed to live up to market expectations last start when out of the placings over 1400m at this track, beaten 11 lengths. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. COMING HOME (2) finished second last time over 1200m at this track, beaten 3 lengths. Will trim down following recent racing. Likely improver with solid claims.
2R : SEE MY SPARK (1) ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1200m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. THE THUNDER (2) is coming along nicely this prep. Finished fifth when fresh from a spell two starts back at this track then improved and scored over 1200m at this track three-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by a neck. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot repeat the dose. CALISTA GIRL (7) is in winning form after scoring as favourite last time out by 2.75 lengths over 1100m at this track. Has a good record at this course and distance, including a win and two placings. Has a high cruising speed. Will give backers a great sight. BELLAQUE (4) returned from a spell last start with a strong win by 2 lengths over 1100m at this track. Open to plenty of improvement and must be included.
3R : LIFE'S LIVING (3) turned in a fine effort to score by 2 lengths at today's course and distance last start in a much improved run. No reason she cannot salute again. RED SNAPER (2) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 6 lengths when fifth in a 1200m contest at this track four days ago. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. ALEXINA (1) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing eighth and beaten 13 lengths starting at $8. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. NUCLEUS (4) was beaten 4.5 lengths into fifth over 1200m at this track last time out. No surprise to see him in contention.

4R : MARK MY DAY (3) turned in a strong run last time when second at this track just four days ago. Backing up quickly over the longer journey. Strong run last time and shapes as a major threat.

1R : PYRGOS (4) last appeared two weeks ago when he was beaten 4 lengths into third over 1600m at this track. Likely to control proceedings and should hold off the small field. LIFE IS GOOD (3) was a determined winner last time at Hyderabad, scoring by a neck over this distance. Down in the weights this time so he is expected to measure up again. DRAGON'S GOLD (1) made progress last time out, finishing 5 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1400m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. DRD (2) was never really a threat when resuming last start over 1400m at this track, finishing 9 lengths from the winner in fifth. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. In the mix.
2R : VENENO (1) broke through for her maiden win over 1600m at this track last time. Shaping up nicely and she is sure to go well. Group 3 winner WONDERFUL (2) was well found in the betting last time out but could only manage to finish fifth over 1400m at Madras in a disappointing performance. Perfectly placed and is sure to be there at the finish. TRIDENT STAR (4) brings the right form to this race after taking out a 1600m contest at this track last time out by 4 lengths. One of the key chances. LUCKY NINE (5) turned in a fine effort to score by 3.5 lengths at today's course and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Taking on a better line-up this time but he is up to the challenge.
3R : HARVESTIME (2) scored by 2.25 lengths over this distance at this track last time out. Has a very good record here including four wins from eight starts. Expect a bold showing. GALATICUS (4) is a handy galloper who was 1.4 lengths from the winner in third when resuming last start over 1200m at this track. Fitter and protecting an unbeaten second up record. SWIFT (3) ran fifth at her latest appearance over 1400m at this track, finishing 9 lengths from the winner. Genuine type with four wins from 11 starts. Should be involved in the finish. CLEVER HANS (5) ran fifth at his latest appearance over 1600m at this track, finishing 11 lengths from the winner. Strong top-three chance.

4R : GLOBAL INFLUENCE (3) debuted four weeks ago when he finished fifth over 1100m at Bangalore, beaten 14 lengths. Expected to be very competitive. CHAMPAGNESUPERNOVA (2) is a three-year-old colt by Dali out of Friendship set to debut for the Aashay Doctor stable. Looks a definite contender, particularly if the money comes. INGRID (5) is a three-year-old filly on debut from the stable of Neil Darashah. By Phoenix Tower from Jolie Rue. Expect a bold run. AURUM (1) is a three-year-old colt on debut from the stable of Shyam S Habbu. By Perfect Stride from Miss Arazan. Worth watching for a betting push.
5R : Group 1 placegetter TIME AND TIDE (3) continued the solid form last start, finishing 2.75 lengths back in third at this track over today's trip. Likely to measure up again. Group 3 winner COOL RIDER (2) was too good when resuming in an easier race over 1200m at this track last start, scoring by 1.3 lengths. Record at this trip is excellent and looks a big threat to the top selection. Group 3 placegetter SNOWFALL (4) did well to score by a head first-up in a weaker race last start over 1400m at this track. Second-up record is strong and is expected to feature in the finish. DELPHINI (5) turned in a disappointing run last time out over 1400m at this track after a nice win the start prior. Meeting a deeper field this time but she is up to the challenge.
