1R : BANKSY (5) finished 14 lengths away in sixth last time out over 1400m at this track six days ago. Steps up in distance today. Hasn't broken through over this course and distance but has managed three minor placings. Best form puts him right in this. OROMELO (1) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 2000m at this track, beaten 7 lengths. Won't find this as tough so she is one of the main contenders. GOOD DEEDS (3) finished 5.5 lengths away in sixth last time out over 1400m at this track four weeks ago as $3.5 favourite. Steps up in journey today. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Winning claims on best figures. ARETHA (2) was never in contention when resuming last start over 1600m at this track, finishing ninth and beaten 27 lengths. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. One of the better hopes.
2R : BANDUK WALI (4) is returning from a spell of five months. Finished fifth at this track over 1100m at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Rutherford Alford. Well-placed and looks ready to fire. INTENSE BELIEF (7) returned from a spell four weeks ago when she was beaten 9 lengths into fifth over 1200m at this track. Fitter this time. Hard to beat in this suitable race. IN TIME (5) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when eighth over 1200m at this track. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot return to winning ways. TORTILLA CHIP (3) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1100m at this track, beaten 12 lengths. Fitter so watch for a better performance.

3R : ABHICANDRA (1) will find this a little easier than his third on debut three weeks ago, beaten 5 lengths at the end of 1200m at this track. Will benefit from that experience so he shouldn't be a maiden for long. KSEPIMAN (2) is on debut for the Rutherford Alford stable. Three-year-old colt by Roderic O'connor from Splash. Leading prospect on face value, with betting holding the key. ZALIA (5) is a three-year-old filly on debut from the stable of Aashay Doctor. By Well Done Fox from Anahi. Bold showing expected. KEITARO (3) is appearing for the first time. By Excellent Art and is out of the Rutherford Alford stable. Top-three chance.
4R : ZUMA (1) ran below expectations when fresh from a spell at this track over 1400m last time, finishing fifth and beaten 9 lengths. Yet to miss the placings in three starts over this course and distance. Yash Narredu gets the best out of this five-year-old filly. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. MALAKHI (8) made progress last time out, finishing 2.25 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1400m at this track. Needs to be at her best to beat this field but she cannot be overlooked. INTO THE STORM (4) proved too strong last start and scored by 4 lengths over 1400m at this track. Has a fair record at this track with a win and three placings. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Will give backers a great sight. TRUE FAITH (3) finished third last time over 1600m at this track, beaten 5.5 lengths. Will trim down following recent racing. Placed to advantage and can run a bold race.
5R : DUBAI PRINCESS (3) scored at her most recent appearance, getting home by 2.25 lengths over 1600m at this track as favourite. That continued the solid form this campaign, with three wins and two minor placings from six starts. Leading player again. DALI SWIRL (4) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 3 lengths when fourth over 1400m at this track three weeks ago. Finds a nice race and can figure in the finish. RAFFAELLO (6) finished second two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by 1.5 lengths over 1400m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. WINTER AGENDA (8) comes here off a last-start fifth, beaten 4 lengths, over 1400m at this track. One of the contenders.
6R : DYF (3) is a model of consistency with top-three finishes at his last 13 starts, most recently finishing second over 1800m at Mumbai. Top chance once again. A STAR IS BORN (1) was prominent from the outset when third over 1600m at Group 2 level at this track last time out. Has a solid record here over this trip. Strong record with Yash Narredu aboard, including two wins. Fitter and looks sure to play a big role. THIRD AVENUE (5) did well when resuming over 1600m in Group 2 class at this track last start, finishing second and beaten one length. Has never been out of the placings at the second run back from a spell from four tries and has a decent record at this longer journey. Leading chance on best form. CHOPIN (2) ran well below his best last time over 1600m at Group 2 level at this track, beaten 5 lengths into fifth at $5.50. Has a high cruising speed. Deserves respect on best figures.

7R : LINEUPANDCOLLECT (6) last appeared six-and-a-half weeks ago over 1400m at this track when he finished fourth. This is his first run for the Sabeel Shariff stable. Sure to take beating. IMPRESSIVE ANNIE (5) scored her maiden win here last time out over today's trip, getting the decision by 5.5 lengths. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Looks well placed and she is a solid top-three hope. DANCE ALONG (10) did little and finished 23 lengths from the winner in 11th over 1400m at this track last start, a less impressive effort than her eighth at this track the run before. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. TRES BIEN (2) had been in sparkling form winning two races on end but missed the frame most recently when fourth over 1100m at this track. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. In the mix.
8R : FORTUNE WARRIOR (9) progressed nicely last start to finish a close second over 1600m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Meets some better types this time but he has the talent to test this line-up. SPORTING TRAINER (10) was in the money two starts back at this track but was unable to repeat the effort last time when ninth, beaten 14 lengths, at this track over 1400m. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. ASAGIRI (3) was below his best last time out when 7 lengths from the winner in seventh over 1100m at this track. Has a high cruising speed. One to consider. KHALEESI (7) is a nine-start maiden who is knocking on the door, the latest effort a solid third at Mumbai over 1000m. Will enjoy a drop in class so she is perfectly placed to score.
