1R : LITTLE MINISTER (4) returns after 11 weeks in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a fourth over 1600m at Pune. Good effort to open last prep when in the money at Pune over 1800m. Looks the one to beat. DAGGER'S STRIKE (6) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1200m at this track, beaten 1.4 lengths. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. EKLA CHOLO (2) did little and finished 5 lengths from the winner in ninth over 1200m at this track last start, a less impressive effort than his fifth at Pune the run before. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. CHAMPAGNE SMILE (1) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1200m at this track, beaten 11 lengths into ninth. The engagement of N Bhosale is a positive move. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.
2R : CREDENCE (6) won last time out over 1000m at this track and S Siddharth, who was aboard that day, keeps the ride. Nice weight drop this time around. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Among the leading chances. TURN AND BURN (1) scored by 2.5 lengths over this distance at this track last time out when first up from a spell. Form here strong boasting two wins from three starts. One of the major players. THE ATHABASCA (2) returns from a spell of four-and-a-half months and did score first-up when last in work at Bangalore over 1200m. Lines up for the first time for the P S Chouhan stable. Solid top-three hope. FAST APPROACH (4) ran a better race last start, finishing 4 lengths away in fourth over 1000m at this track. Better than recent efforts suggest.

4R : OLIVER (2) faced the starter for the first time and finished fifth last start at this track over 1200m, beaten 6 lengths. Capable of sharp improvement. GIANT GOLD (5) is a two-start maiden who placed on debut then could only manage tenth last start, beaten 9 lengths over 1200m at this track. Has the pace to take a forward position. Strong chance this line-up. PRISTINE GLORY (7) produced a nice effort on debut in better company last start over 1000m at this track when third, beaten 8 lengths. Promising type with improvement to come so she is among the leading chances. WARLOCK (3) is on debut. By Deauville and comes from the Faisal A Abbas stable. Top-three chance.

5R : DESERT CLASSIC (2) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a strong race last time out, finishing second and beaten only 1.75 lengths over 1600m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. FABLE (1) will find this easier than last start when she finished 12th over 1600m in the G1 Indian 1000 Guineas at this track. That effort came on the back of a win two back at Pune. Can bounce back in this far more suitable contest. MEDUSA (7) didn't do a lot on debut a month ago, finishing 6 lengths from the winner in fifth over 1400m at this track. Open to plenty of improvement. One of the main contenders. MA CHERIE (8) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1400m at this track, beaten 10 lengths. This looks a good race for her so another forward showing looks likely.
6R : FLASHMAN (5) finished fifth when resuming two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1400m at this track, beaten 7 lengths. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. STAR OF ASIA (6) will appreciate the longer journey after finishing a solid fifth when resuming last start over 1000m at this track. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Will prove tough to beat. LIGHTNING BLAZE (8) progressed nicely last time out to finish just half a length from the winner in second over 1000m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. REMY RED (4) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1200m at this track, beaten 7 lengths into 11th. Has his share of talent and is a top-three prospect.
