1R : VILLANELLE (5) was in the money on debut before finishing fourth last time, beaten 6 lengths over 1200m at Mumbai. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Best form puts her right in this. MARCOLINI (4) has raced twice. Was third on debut then clocked-in 6 lengths from the winner in fourth last time out over 1200m at this track. Expected to cross from wide out. Great chance to bounce back. HERMES (1) stepped out on his debut over 1200m at this track a week-and-a-half ago and finished fourth, beaten 9 lengths. Can improve sharply. DONA SIENNA (3) is on debut. By Speaking Of Which and comes from the Bharath Singh stable. Watch the market closely.
2R : DRAGON'S GOLD (4) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at this track over 1600m. Has good early pace. Tackling a deeper field this time but he is good enough to take this out. Group 3 placegetter TRUE FAITH (7) is a progressive four-year-old colt who resumes from a break of ten months, his last appearance being a win over 1400m at Bangalore at his only run of that campaign. Has won when fresh from a spell in the past. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Leading contender. Group 3 placegetter ZUMA (3) built on a nice third two starts back at this track with a win as favourite over 1600m at this track three weeks ago, getting home by 1.3 lengths. Meeting a deeper field this time but she has the ability to mix it with them. STAR PROSPERITY (6) scored last start at Mumbai to make it two wins from two starts this campaign. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Solid claims on best form.
