1R : DAGGER'S STRIKE (5) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on March 7 finishing seventh and beaten 6 lengths over 1400m at Mumbai. Has found the right race. RED DUST (4) won her maiden three starts back and is nearing another victory with placings at her last two runs, most recently when third over 1200m at this track. Winning rider A Sandesh sticks. Sure to run well. ZIP ALONG (1) did little and finished 6 lengths from the winner in eighth over 1200m at this track last start, a less impressive effort than her fifth at this track the run before. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. LEO THE LION (2) turned in another moderate effort last start when 15 lengths from the winner in seventh over 1600m at this track.

Likely improver with strong prospects. EL GRECO (1) has been mixing his form recently including last time out when he was well held over 1600m at this track.
