MUMBAI REVIEW
1R : Group 3 placegetter LIAM (5) missed the placings two runs back then didn't feature last start when 7 lengths away in sixth over 1200m at this track. Finds a nice race and can feature in the finish. HOUSE OF LORDS (8) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at this track, finishing second and only 2 lengths from the winner at the end of 1200m. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role. HELA (1) was comfortably accounted for when 13th last start over 1200m at this track, beaten 18 lengths. That followed a good first-up win at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. GALLOPING AHEAD (3) drew wide and was pretty plain last time out when 7 lengths from the winner in fifth at this course and distance. Should be prominent from the outset. Deserves respect on best figures.
2R : IMPUNITY (2) finished 6 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1600m at this track when resuming from a spell. Tackles a longer journey this time. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Sure to be in the finish. EATON SQUARE (1) hit the frame when resuming two runs back at this track but couldn't back it up last start when eighth, beaten 13 lengths, over 2400m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. ZARAFAT (3) is yet to break through in four runs. Finished seventh at his last appearance over 1200m at this track on December 24. Worth including in this suitable contest. VERDANDI (5) is back from a spell of five-and-a-half months. Raced once last campaign and finished second over 1800m at Pune. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. One of the better hopes.
3R : SCARAMANGA (1) last appeared four weeks ago when he was beaten 1.2 lengths into third over 2000m at this track. Great chance to score in this small line-up. CHAT (3) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing fifth and beaten 10 lengths starting at $6.75. Needs to be at her best to beat this field but she is good enough to play a major role. FINCH (2) last appeared a week-and-a-half ago when he finished 3 lengths away in fourth over 1400m at this track. Only has a small field to contend with and is sure to prove tough to beat. ALPHA DOMINO (4) improved last start to finish third over 2400m at this track. Nicely placed to maintain the form.
4R : RUNNING STAR (6) will find this a little easier than her third on debut five weeks ago, beaten 4 lengths at the end of 1200m at this track. Will benefit from that experience so she should be in the finish again. ESCONIDO (5) is yet to break through after three career starts. Managed to find the placings at this track two starts back before finishing sixth over 1200m at this track last start. Among the leading chances. BREAK POINT (2) failed to threaten at his first outing last time out, finishing eighth over 1000m at this track. Should appreciate the extra ground this time. Expected to do far better this time. MARCUS (4) is on debut. By Admiralty and is out of the P Shroff stable. Worth watching for a betting push.
5R : DARWIN (3) is a talented gelding who tackled a tougher race at his last run on January 16 2022 and finished sixth behind Chopin over 2000m at Group 3 level at this track. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Best form puts him right in this. Group 3 placegetter FASHION ICON (9) turned in a modest performance when seventh last time out over 1600m at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. NOLAN (1) did a good job last start to finish third at this track over 1400m, beaten 0.9 lengths. Cherry-ripe now. R Ajinkya who has three wins when partnering stays on. Has winning claims on best figures. FIERY RED (8) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a nice race when fresh from a spell last time out, finishing third and beaten only 1.5 lengths over 1000m at this track. Well placed and should be about the mark

6R : Group 3 placegetter SON OF A GUN (1) looks close to a win, finishing in the placings at his last couple of runs including a third most recently over 1200m at this track when beaten 6 lengths. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Will play a major role. AMAZONIA (4) had been in top form landing two consecutive wins before a last-start third over 1200m at Mysore. Certainly worth another chance. CELLINI (2) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago at this track. Not as effective last time out when sixth over 1400m at this track, beaten 8 lengths. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. Group 2 placegetter THE PROTECTOR (3) returned from a spell three weeks ago when he was beaten 6 lengths into fifth over 1400m at this track. Strips fitter and should be thereabouts.
7R : CHAMONIX (3) recorded another success last time over 2000m at this track making it two straight wins this campaign. Comfortable winner last time and can measure up again. KAMARIA (4) finished 4.5 lengths behind the winner in seventh place when resuming over 1600m last start at this track. Second up record is very strong. Ready to find peak form this time. Group 3 placegetter GOLDEN KINGDOM (1) made progress last time out, finishing 6 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 2000m at this track. Must raise the bar but a win is not out of the question. Multiple Group 2 placegetter TRULY EPIC (2) has not won for a long while. Last raced on December 17 when beaten 9 lengths into fifth at this track over 2000m. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is good enough to take this out.

HYDERABAD REVIEW
1R : SILVER ACT (1) hasn't been far away since a maiden win four runs back, the latest effort a second over 1200m at this track on January 8. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Will prove tough to beat. DECCAN DAISY (3) broke through for her maiden win over 1100m at this track last time. Winning rider P Sai Kumar stays aboard and she should be in the finish again. HOPING STAR (6) resumes from a spell of four months. Could only manage to finish fifth at the latest run over 1200m at this track. One of the leading chances. EXETER (8) finished second last time over 1100m at this track, beaten 2 lengths. Must raise the bar but a win is not out of the question.
2R : TRISHUL (4) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 2 lengths over 1600m at this track. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Shaping up nicely and he is a key runner. ALPINE GIRL (3) turned in a modest performance when seventh last time out over 1600m at this track, beaten 3 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. CARAXES (7) fought on well for third last start over 1600m at this track, making it three minor placings in a row. Another big run expected. FLASHING MEMORIES (6) is a last-start winner six weeks ago, scoring by 1.5 lengths over 1400m at this track. Best figures measure up favourably.

3R : ROLLS ROYCE (5) was 7 lengths from the winner in fourth over 1400m at this track last time following a minor placing on debut the run before. Has the pace to take a forward position. Looks well placed and is worth another chance. GLORIOUS POWER (2) lines up on the back of a 5 length fourth over 1200m at this track. Likely to feature. CANNON ROSE (6) is backing up quickly after finishing in the money at this track over 1100m just eight days ago. Good effort last start and should figure prominently. ROYAL PARADE (1) comes here following a win over 1100m at this track eight days ago, getting home by a neck. This sets up nicely.4R : RUBY RED (3) was in a different class last time, registering a dominant 5 lengths win over 1400m at this track to make it three in a row. Should be prominent from the outset. Will prove tough to beat. Group 3 placegetter ENCORE (8) finds it hard to win with just one success from 13 starts. Was again denied last start when he found a couple better over 1400m at this track. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is capable of a big performance. CARLISLE (2) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1400m at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths. Tackling a deeper field this time but he is good enough to figure in the finish. Group 3 placegetter N R I DOUBLEPOWER (1) has switched yards since finishing sixth six weeks ago over 1400m at this track.

5R : Group 3 winner LASHKA (4) brings the right form to this contest, being a last-start winner by 2.25 lengths at this track over 1200m. Should get her own way in front in the small field and will take running down. BORN BRAVE (1) wasted no time getting off the mark as favourite on debut over 1100m at this track five weeks ago. Has plenty of upside and should go on with it. IN PROPOSITO (3) last appeared four weeks ago when he scored by 0.8 lengths over 1200m at this track. Only has a small field to contend with and is sure to prove tough to beat. DICTATOR (2) is looking to keep the 100% record intact after a debut win by 5.5 lengths at this track over 1100 seven weeks ago. Cannot be ruled out due to the field size.
6R : TOFFEE (5) met with solid support last start over 1400m at this track when second, beaten 2 lengths. Md Ekram Alam sticks. Leading contender. N R I ULTRAPOWER (3) did little and finished 9 lengths from the winner in eighth over 1200m at this track last start, a less impressive effort than her seventh at this track the run before. Finds a nice race and can figure in the finish. EXCLUSIVE SPARK (2) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1600m at this track, beaten 4 lengths into fourth. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. D WORLD (6) has been freshened up since it finished sixth over 1400m at this track six weeks ago. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Must be respected.
