MUMBAI REVIEW
1R : SPIRIT BAY (7) is finding the breakthrough elusive, beaten 4 lengths into sixth at her latest appearance over 1400m at this track. Should be prominent from the outset. Leading contender. LADY DI (2) is a 15-start maiden who resumed from a spell last start and was beaten 8 lengths when eighth over 1000m at this track. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Best form puts her right in this. MI ARION (3) is a eight-start maiden who could only manage to finish fourth at his latest appearance over 1000m at this track. Finds the right race and is worth consideration. MIRAE (4) lines up on the back of a 5 length fifth over 1000m at this track. Winning claims on best figures.
2R : SOUP AND SANDWICH (1) returns from a spell of five months. Could only manage fourth, beaten 5 lengths, when resuming last prep at Pune over 1000m. Likely to control proceedings and should hold off the small field. BUCKLEY (2) was always forward and boxed on to finish second over 1200m at this track last time. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Leading contender. Group 3 placegetter SUPERLATIVE (4) finished 6 lengths adrift in sixth at this track over 1200m at his latest appearance. Well-placed to play a major role the small field. STAR ROMANCE (3) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1200m at this track, beaten 8 lengths into ninth. Capable of featuring prominently.
3R : GOLDEN GLOW (2) has returned in good order this preparation. Opened with a second at this track two starts back then scored by 1.5 lengths as public elect last time out over 1600m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. VINCENT VAN GOGH (3) started this preparation with a win two runs ago. Less impressive last time out when fourth over 2000m at this track, beaten 6 lengths. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. KARIENA (5) finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 1600m at this track, beaten 5 lengths. Worth noting Neeraj Rawal goes aboard. Facing a tougher assignment but she is up to the task. ASHWA YASHODHRA (4) made some progress last start to finish seventh over 1200m at this track, beaten 7 lengths. Tackles a longer journey this time around and is capable of further improvement.
4R : ANGELO (1) broke through for his maiden win over 1600m at this track last time. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Shaping up nicely and he should be in the finish. METZINGER (2) finished 5 lengths away in seventh last time out over 1400m at this track when fresh from a spell. Steps up in journey today. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Best figures should see him run well. GIANT KING (3) is a last-start winner two weeks ago, scoring by 4 lengths over 2400m at this track. One of the key contenders. IDEALISTA (6) is a three-start maiden who almost broke the ice last time out when a close second over 2000m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.
5R : FIELD OF DREAMS (2) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 3 lengths over 1000m at this track. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Shaping up nicely and she should be in the finish. DASH (1) impressed when successful as favourite on debut over 1000m at Pune three months ago and has not appeared since. Has plenty of upside and can win again. FLASHMAN (3) stepped out on his debut over 1000m at this track six weeks ago and finished seventh, beaten 10 lengths. Top-three chance with that run under his belt. FIORENTINI (4) is a Leitir Mor filly from Evatina who is making her debut. Worth keeping safe.

6R : Multiple Group 1 placegetter CHRISTOFLE (2) clocked-in third behind SYNTHESIS last time out in Group 1 grade at this track over 1600m. Hard to knock form this course having never missed the frame including three wins and one placing. Likely to feature. Multiple Group 1 winner SYNTHESIS (5) was well supported when resuming last time out over 1600m in Group 1 class at this track and proved too strong, scoring by 1.3 lengths. Will be better for that latest run and looks a big threat to the top selection. Group 1 winner ENABLER (4) is a handy galloper who was 1.3 lengths from the winner in second when resuming last start over 1600m at this track. Should be in the finish.

7R : Indian 1000 Guineas winner JENDAYI (4) is a talented galloper who scored in the G1 Indian 1000 Guineas at this track last time and is unbeaten after three runs. Go close again on recent runs. Group 1 placegetter AMEERAH (2) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third in the G1 Indian 1000 Guineas at this track over 1600m. Has her share of talent.

PURE FOR SURE (2) is returning from a spell of three-and-a-half months. Finished sixth at Ooty over 1300m at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Adhiraj S Jodha. Worth serious consideration. PHENOM (5) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing fifth and beaten 1.2 lengths starting at $6.50. Nicely placed to make amends. MALET SPRING (9) finished third last time over 1200m at this track when resuming from a spell, beaten 3 lengths. Will trim down second-up. Suitably placed so anticipating another forward showing.

Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways.

CHENNAI REVIEW
1R : EMPEROR CHARMAVAT (1), RAFFINATO (4), and NIGHT JAR (5) are likely to dominate the finish in the opener of the day.
2R : SHEER ELEGANCE (1) is the pick of the lot. Speedy WORLDLY WISE (3) is the next best. SAFETY (9) has every chance of landing the spoils and can be deemed the dark one.
3R : The pair of stablemates, GANDOLFINI (3) and SALOME (7), ought to dispute the issue. SIAN (5) is the best of the remaining lot.

4R : CZAR (6) is likely to reign supreme. ANZIO (1) is the one most likely to follow CZAR home. Late-rusher SPECTACLE (2) could land the spoils if he kept up with the pace.
5R : DAIKI (2), KNOTTY ONE (3), and EVERWIN (4) are the ones to follow in this juvenile event.
6R : It looks like a nip-and-tuck battle between the pair of classic winners PHILOSOPHY (3) and SUCCESS (4). GLORIOUS GRACE (1) is the joker in this pack.

7R : ONCE YOU GO BLACK (1) could prove difficult to down on his preferred track. Last year's Bangalore winter derby winner, LA REINA (2), has the class to assert her presence in an emphatic manner. Front-rusher SHUBANKAR (3) is the best of the remaining lot.
8R : Proven SOMETHING ROYAL (5), winner of three regional classics, is the one to beat. On a roll winning twice in as many starts this term, SCHNELL (4) has the form to give the jitters to SOMETHING ROYAL. Although ANGELES (2) and GOLDEN PEAKS (3) have yet to prove their mettle in classics, the fact that they are bred to stay makes it difficult to overlook their chances.
9R : With back-to-back victories under her belt this term, ZANETA (9) has the form to bag the third one of the season. Racing just two points off his last winning mark, ROMUALDO (6) is the primary threat. SUPREME GRANDEUR (3) is the joker in this pack.
