1R : YELLOW SAPPHIRE (6) was well in commission last start over 1200m at Madras when tenth, beaten 20 lengths. Certainly deserves another chance. LITTLE WONDER (8) did little and finished 8 lengths from the winner in sixth over 1300m at this track last start, a less impressive effort than his fifth at Madras the run before. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. AURORA BOREALIS (4) is finding the breakthrough elusive, beaten 11 lengths into seventh at her latest appearance over 1300m at this track. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Will be in this for a long way. ABNEGATOR (1) made progress last time out, finishing 5 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1200m at Madras. No surprise to see him in the frame.
2R : MULTIWAVE (5) group 3 placegetter. Resumes. Didn't make an impact at his only run last prep on September 30 finishing seventh and beaten 11 lengths over 1200m at Madras. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Will play a major role. CLOUDY HILLS (1) finished seventh over 1200m at Madras at her most recent appearance on January 15. Runs very well here having never missed the frame from three starts. Sure to make her presence felt. THE REBEL (8) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1100m at Madras, beaten 4.5 lengths into sixth. Tackling a more suitable race this time so he is likely to play a big role. EMPEROR ASHOKA (3) returned from a spell six days ago when he was beaten 6 lengths into fourth over 1400m at this track. Likely improver with top-three prospects.

3R : SUNNY ISLES (7) saluted at Madras two runs ago. Decent effort last time out when second over 1200m at Madras, beaten one length. Ideally placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. SAFETY (6) didn't do a bad job when second last start over 1200m at Madras, beaten 1.3 lengths. That followed a win at Madras the start prior. Finds a suitable assignment and can return to winning ways. Group 3 placegetter ACANTHA (4) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest at Madras over 1400m. Has a wide gate to overcome but on recent form is hard to leave out. PREAKNESS (5) looks close to a win, finishing in the placings at his last couple of runs including a second most recently over 1000m at Madras when beaten 1.3 lengths. Commendable record at this trip with a win and three minor placings and has solid claims.
4R : ANZIO (2) finished third just seven days ago over 1200m at this track. On the quick back-up over more ground. Nice run last time and shapes as a major threat. RAYS OF SUN (5) has been in the mix without winning, the latest offering a fifth over 1200m at Madras. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Expected to be in the finish. PERFECT BLEND (3) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 6 lengths when sixth in a 1400m contest at Kolkata six weeks ago. Ideally placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. IMPERIAL GESTURE (8) built on a nice third two starts back at Madras with a win as favourite over 1400m at Madras six-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by 6 lengths. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race.

5R : BLUEMED (2) produced a reasonable effort to finish 0.8 lengths away in second last start over 1400m at Madras. That followed a win on debut at Madras. Finds an easier assignment and can return to winning ways. WINDSOR WALK (1) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with only one victory from 27 starts. Was again denied last start when he found a couple better over 1400m at Madras. Faces an easier assignment so he is likely to feature in the finish. WONDERFUL ERA (4) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 4.5 lengths when fifth over 1100m at Madras six-and-a-half weeks ago. Worth noting C Umesh goes aboard. Will enjoy a drop in class so she is one of the main contenders. WISAKA (7) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 1200m at Madras. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well.
6R : TURF MELODY (1) returns after a spell of three-and-a-half months. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1100m at Madras. Looks a winning chance. SUPREME GRANDEUR (4) had been rock-solid with three placings in a row before finishing fourth over 1200m at Madras last start. Commendable record at this trip with a win and three minor placings and looks a top chance. FIRST MISSILE (9) finished fifth two runs back at Madras then improved last time out to score by a long neck as favourite over 1100m at Madras. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. SPIRIT OF THE ROSE (6) finished 14 lengths from the winner in seventh last time out over 1200m at Madras on February 23. Has a high cruising speed. Don't underestimate.
