1R : MYSTICAL MERLIN (10) turned in a sound effort last time but found one better at this track over 1100m, beaten a head. That run should have her rock-hard fit now. Sure to go well. EPSOM DOWNS (5) is a nine-start maiden who finished fourth, beaten 2.5 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1200m at this track. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Expecting a bold showing. D UNITED (12) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing 12th and beaten 24 lengths starting at $4.75. Hard to beat in this suitable race. FIFTY GRAND (2) returned from a spell three-and-a-half weeks ago when she was beaten 29 lengths into ninth over 1400m at this track. Strips fitter and should be thereabouts.
2R : BUNDELKHAND QUEEN (12) met with solid support last time out but could only manage to finish eighth over 1400m at this track in a disappointing performance. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. DALHOUSIE (1) was well fancied when resuming last start and proved too strong, scoring by 2.5 lengths over 1100m at this track. Will be better for that latest run and another big run will not surprise. COYOTE GIRL (6) started last time and ran below expectations, finishing 11th and beaten 21 lengths at this track over 1400m. Finds a nice race and can make amends. PHOENIX SURPRISE (11) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a ninth over 1200m at Bangalore. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time.

3R : DABEET (9) was an emphatic winner last time over 1400m at this track with today's rider Anil Bandal engaged. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Best form puts him right in this. NATURAL SPEED (8) finished second when resuming two runs back at this track then progressed nicely last time out to score by 4.5 lengths over 1400m at this track. Meeting a tougher field but on current form she is good enough to take this out. IBRAHIMOVIC (2) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just two times from 23 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when ninth over 1600m at this track, beaten 20 lengths. Likely contender with strong prospects. BENGHAZI (5) turned in another moderate effort last start when 16 lengths from the winner in ninth over 1400m at this track at the second run back from a spell. Capable of featuring prominently.
4R : Group 2 placegetter GOLDEN PEAKS (8) saluted last start at Bangalore over this distance. Is yet to miss the frame from four starts at this distance, including two wins. Drawn to go forward. Best form puts her right in this. MOONLIGHT QUEEN (9) started this preparation with a win two runs ago. Couldn't follow that up last time out when sixth over 1400m at this track, beaten 16 lengths. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. PRIME ABBESS (7) was well in commission when resuming last start over 1200m at Bangalore when second, beaten 4.5 lengths. Well-placed to make amends. Group 3 placegetter FONDNESS OF YOU (10) failed to live up to market expectations last start when out of the placings over 1200m at Bangalore, beaten 5 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects.

5R : Group 1 winner KNOTTY CHARMER (2) finished 4 lengths behind the winner in sixth place when resuming over 1400m last start in Group 3 grade at Pune. Has been in the money at each second up start. Winning chance. Group 3 winner PRICELESS GOLD (9) built on a nice third when fresh from a spell two starts back at Bangalore with success over 1400m at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by one length. Going up a level this time but he deserves plenty of thought. Group 2 placegetter IMPERIAL BLUE (6) produced a good run two starts back to finish third but disappointed last time when out of the placings at Bangalore over 1200m. Meets some better types this time but a better run will not surprise. Group 3 placegetter ISNT SHE BEAUTIFUL (10) scored last start at Bangalore to make it two wins from two starts this campaign. Will find this much tougher but is not to be discounted.
6R : JOON (9) was a determined maiden winner last time out, scoring by one length over 1400m at Bangalore. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Has a low draw and she is a key runner. D ROMAN REIGNS (5) met with solid support last start over 1200m at this track when fifth, beaten 7 lengths. Worth another chance. ASAGIRI (10) met with solid support last start over 1400m at Bangalore when fourth, beaten 2 lengths. Deserves another chance. HERO OF THE EAST (2) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a seventh over 1600m at this track. Has the talent to get back to winning ways.

7R : POLAR QUEEN (10) finished third, beaten 2.25 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1200m at this track. Placed to advantage so expect a forward showing. GOLDEN BIRD (5) was well fancied last start over 1400m at this track when seventh, beaten 7 lengths. Can atone. SQUARE CUT (6) returned from a spell two weeks ago when he was beaten 9 lengths into fifth over 1400m at this track. This doesn't look as hard so he is a leading player. D ADMIRAL (9) was beaten 7 lengths into eighth at the second run back from a break in a 1400m contest at this track three-and-a-half weeks ago. No surprise to see him in contention.
