1R : LEO THE LION (8) made progress last time out, finishing 5 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 2000m at this track. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. FLOYD (4) is back after a break of 11 weeks. At the last run before the layoff he finished fifth over 2000m at Pune. Rates highly and is a strong chance to break through. BAY OF BISCAY (3) returns after 11 weeks in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a ninth over 1400m at Pune. Rates highly on best figures and should be right in this. JULIANA (2) resumes from a spell of three-and-a-half months. Could only manage to finish sixth at the latest run over 1200m at Pune. Rates highly on best form and a bright return wouldn't surprise.
2R : EXUMA (4) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 2 lengths over 2000m at this track. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Winning rider Niranjan Parmar sticks and he is a leading contender. Group 1 placegetter REGAL COMMAND (2) produced a solid effort last time when second over 2000m at this track. The extra journey should play into his hands. Poses a genuine threat. FORTUNATE SON (3) finished third last start at the first run back from a spell over 1200m at this track, beaten 5 lengths. This is a nice race and can find winning form. GANGSTER (1) is back after a break of 11 weeks. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1800m at Pune. Among the better hopes.

3R : DECACORN (4) is back at the races for the first time since October 15. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1400m at Bangalore. Capable of playing a major role. THE GENERAL (1) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 6 lengths when tenth in a 1600m contest at this track a week-and-a-half ago. Finds a nice race and can play a significant role. ETOILE (10) finished second last time over 1200m at this track, beaten 1.75 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run again. ULTIMO (2) was unplaced two runs back when fresh from a spell then again missed the frame last start over 1000m at Pune, beaten 2.5 lengths into seventh. Nicely placed to find some form.
4R : IT'S MY TIME (3) did a good job last start to finish second at this track over 1400m, beaten 1.3 lengths. Has been in sound form this prep with a win and two minor placings from five outings. Expected to feature. ATAASH (6) has been knocking on the door with a couple of recent placings, the latest when second at this track, and gets some weight relief today. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Among the leading chances. PRIDE'S ANGEL (1) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1200m at this track, beaten 6 lengths into fourth. Finds a nice race and can play a significant role. LORD AND MASTER (5) ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1600m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Has his share of ability and is a top-three prospect.
5R : FAST APPROACH (4) produced a fair effort on debut last time out when 8 lengths from the winner in fourth at this track over 1000m. Anticipating sharp improvement with the run under the belt. GOLD CAVIAR (5) raced once in the maiden preparation when fifth at Pune over 1000m back on October 14. Big chance with race experience now on board. DORON (3) is a three-year-old colt by Admiralty out of Snow Cannon on debut for the P Shroff stable. Likely to get all the favours from this favourable draw. Must be kept safe, particularly if there is a market lead. ABHIDHYAN (1) is on debut. By Tenth Star and is out of the Adhiraj S Jodha stable. Worth watching for a betting push.

6R : CHAMPAGNE SMILE (1) finished 1.5 lengths from the winner in second in a much better run last time at this track over 1000m. Has been in the money three times over this course and distance. Will be hard to stop. DOWSABEL (4) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a nice race last time out, finishing fourth and beaten only 1.75 lengths over 1200m at this track. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. CHARMING STAR (9) finished 6 lengths adrift in 11th last time at this track in a disappointing performance. Nicely placed to bounce back. ARBITRAGE (12) improved last time out, finishing 2.75 lengths from the winner in third over 1600m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role.
7R : ATHENIAN (8) is back from a spell of 12 weeks. Closed last prep with a eighth, beaten 17 lengths, over 1200m at Pune. Expecting a bold showing. RUSH (10) is a promising type who hasn't raced since finishing 9 lengths away in sixth over 1600m at Group 3 level at Pune on September 17. Has never been out of the placings first up from two tries. Has the early speed to cross from out wide. Sure to be in the finish. DREAM SELLER (5) finished fourth over 1200m at Pune at his most recent appearance on October 15. Sure to make his presence felt. HELA (7) turned in a fine effort to score by 1.75 lengths at this track and distance when resuming from a spell last time out. Likely to be there at the finish again.
