1R : GANDOLFINI (3) resumes from a spell of three-and-a-half months and is having his first outing under new trainer K Purshotham. Finished fifth at Madras over 1400m at the opening run last time in work. Best fresh figures put him right in this. VYASA (2) hit the ground running this time in work, scoring by 3 lengths when resuming at this track over 1600m five weeks ago. Well-placed to play a major role the small field. MYSTICAL AIR (4) was back from a break five weeks ago and finished 14 lengths away in sixth over 1400m at this track. Likely get her own way in front in the small field and will be hard to catch. LEX LUTHOR (1) last appeared two weeks ago when he finished 7 lengths away in seventh over 1600m at this track. The least attractive option in the small line-up.
2R : SUPERHERO (7) is still a maiden after 15 starts. Could only manage to finish fourth last time out over 1400m at this track following a minor placing at this track when fresh from a spell the run prior. Can break through in this suitable contest. QUEVEGA (6) finished 7 lengths away in fifth last time out over 1200m at this track four weeks ago. Steps up in distance today. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Will prove tough to beat. SAND CASTLES (3) returns from a spell of three months and is having her first run for a new yard. Finished seventh at this track over 1200m when first-up last time in work. Comes here with definite top-three claims. SEA DIAMOND (1) ran a better race last start to finish sixth over 1400m at this track, beaten 5.5 lengths. Tackles a longer journey this time around and is open to further improvement.

3R : DOMINA (5) hasn't won recently but looks close to a breakthrough based on her last start third at this track over 1200m when beaten 2.25 lengths. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Best form puts her right in this. FIREFINCH (7) opened this prep with a win two runs ago. Not as effective last time out when fourth over 1400m at this track, beaten 6 lengths. A R Pradeep gets the best out of this six-year-old filly. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. INFINITE SPIRIT (3) progressed nicely last time out to finish just half a length from the winner in second over 1200m at this track. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. ICE STORM (6) missed the placings two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 12 lengths away in 11th over 1400m at this track. Nicely placed to find some form.
4R : MOST AND MORE (3) did little and finished 19 lengths from the winner in sixth over 1400m at this track last start, a less impressive effort than his fifth on debut at this track the run before. Tackling a more suitable race this time so he is a major player. HONEYPOT (6) stepped out on her debut over 1200m at this track two weeks ago and finished tenth, beaten 16 lengths. Better for the run and can improve sharply. MAGNETAR (2) is on debut. By Excellent Art and is out of the Aravind Ganapathy stable. Expected to feature. HAZEL (5) is appearing for the first time. By Phoenix Tower and is out of the Prasanna Kumar stable. Worth watching for a betting push.

5R : DEL AVIZ (10) was going well before a spell with two straight minor placings. Proven first-up performer back from a break of ten weeks. Should be prominent from the outset. Among the leading chances. POWER OF BEAUTY (7) will find this easier than last start when fifth over 1600m in Group 2 class at Madras, that effort coming on the back of a win two back at this track. Better placed this time and can do much better. KNOTTY PATTON (8) is close to breaking through following a narrow defeat last time over 1200m at this track. Drawn out but should be in the finish again. LA MCQUEEN (1) is a talented colt who was tested in tougher class last time when seventh over 1600m at Group 2 level at this track. Has the speed to be prominent. Deserves respect on best figures.
6R : AUSPICIOUS QUEEN (2) finds it hard to win with two victories from 24 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fifth over 1600m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. Likely contender with strong prospects. BLUE GOD (1) has returned in good shape this preparation. Opened with a second at this track two starts back then got the job done by 1.5 lengths as favourite last time out over 1400m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish. CROSSWATER (4) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when sixth, beaten 5.5 lengths, over 1400m at this track. Cherry-ripe now and is among the leading chances. SEKHMET (6) lines up on the back of a 2.75 lengths fourth over 1600m at this track. Ticks all the right boxes.

7R : BAASHHA (7) hasn't raced since finishing fifth over 1400m at this track on August 24 and has since switched trainers. Generally runs well when fresh, recording three minor placings from three runs. Likely to feature. EBOTSE (4) did a great job to score by 1.75 lengths over today's course and distance last start in a far better run. Likely to be there at the finish again. ISABELLE (5) finished third last time over 1200m at this track, beaten 1.75 lengths. Nicely placed to take this out. EXTRAORDINARY (1) ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1200m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Has his share of ability and is a top-three prospect.
