1R : EMPIRE OF DREAMS (1), STOLEN GLANCE (2), and WESTERN GIRL (3) ought to dispute the issue in the opener of the day.
2R : Bidding for the coveted hat-trick of wins, KNOTTY POWER (2) is the one to beat. The last-start, pillar-to-post winner, FALCONBRIDGE (4), is capable of making it two wins in a row. There is something brewing with FIRST MISSILE (5), and a hunch says she could home in on the target.
3R : The booking of the rider high on confidence after winning in the Pune derby astride Redefined recently bodes well for SEEKING THE STARS (2). The one capable of extending her could well be RELIC WARRIOR (7), as he has the finishing burst to come and overhaul the leader close home. Late-rusher CHOICE (8) blinks red, and he is capable of drawing blood with a timely alert.

4R : It looks to be the winning turn for LORD OF THE TURF (5), who ran third two runs back and second next, provided he maintains the upward trajectory. Either of the two contestants, CARTEL (1) or SENORA BIANCA (2), racing below their respective previous winning mark, could follow the aforementioned home.
5R : The multi-classic winner, SOMETHING ROYAL (5), has the class to keep this competition at bay. NEZIAH (6) is the main threat. The fluke hunters ought to try their luck with the last-start surprise winner, TURF MELODY (12), for the simple reason that she receives weight from the field and that could enable her to make it two wins in a row.

6R : The hat-trick seeker, SAFETY (4) is the one to beat. The positive switch on the saddle, from an average rider to the past local champion, could help LOCH LOMOND (1), who ran second last time, build on that effort. KEY TO THE MINT (5) beat LOCH LOMOND to second under a full rider last Chennai season, and if the declared rookie (-5 kg) were to dictate the pace well, then he could well put it across her again in this outing.
7R : The once-raced maiden, ASSIMILATE (8), deserves respect, as her dam is the full sister of Adjudicate, who won the Indian Turf Invitation Cup (Gr.1) twice in succession. A smart winner on debut, VANDHIYATHEVAN (3) is capable of making it two wins in a row. It would not surprise if KAZE HIKARU (4), with the rookie (-5 kg) guiding his fortunes, were to make it a winning debut, as he has the bloodline to do so.
