1R : CONTINENTAL DRIFT (1) is a eight-start maiden who finished seventh at his most recent outing over 1000m at this track. Well placed on this occasion and gets his chance to break the ice. YULETIDE (8) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1600m at this track. Must raise the bar but another big run is on the cards. NORTHBOUND (4) fought on well for third last start over 2000m at this track, making it three minor placings in a row. R Ajinkya stays aboard and although yet to win has been in the money on two occasions. Sure to be competitive. ZACAPA (5) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1000m at this track, beaten 4 lengths into fifth. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
2R : LA DOLCE VITA (7) has been safely held at her last couple, the latest in stakes class when 13th in Group 1 class at this track. Rates on top on best figures and will appreciate this far easier company. UZI (5) did a great job to score by 4 lengths over this course and distance last start to maintain her good form of late. Going up a level this time but she is up to the challenge. ALPHA GENE (10) lines up for the hat-trick after registering a strong win last time over 2000m at this track, scoring by 1.5 lengths. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. One to consider. GIANT KING (2) has not won for a long while. Last raced on March 8 when beaten 5.5 lengths into fifth at Madras over 1600m. Has a good record at this course and distance, including two wins. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is capable of a big performance.

3R : SUBSTANTIAL (7) missed the frame two back in tougher company then last time in a more suitable affair scored by 0.8 lengths over 1600m at this track. Can go on with it now. CHAGALL (2) has been hard to fault, scoring two in a row before hitting the frame at the last two including a second most recently over 1600m at this track. Taking on a better line-up this time but he deserves plenty of thought. ANGELO (4) has been thereabouts without winning, the most recent effort a second at this track over 1600m when he was beaten a long neck. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. One of the main contenders. MIGHTY SPARROW (8) has progressed nicely in his last couple of runs. Finished second at this track two starts back then got the job done by 1.3 lengths as favourite last time out over 1600m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.
4R : MERLET (13) is a four-start maiden who is knocking on the door, the latest effort a solid second at Madras over 1200m. Facing a tougher assignment but she is worth serious consideration. DON JULIO (1) could only manage second as favourite last start over 1000m at this track, making it three minor placings from three starts this campaign. Will prove tough to beat. JACKSON (4) finished 7 lengths from the winner in seventh last time out over 1400m at this track on February 9. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. One of the main contenders. GIANT GOLD (9) returned from a spell two weeks ago when she was beaten 6 lengths into fourth over 1400m at this track. Likely improver with top-three prospects.

5R : JADE (8) returns from a break of nine weeks. Genuine performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a seventh over 1200m at this track. Expected to bring the good form from last campaign to this contest. CELESTIAL (6) finished 5.5 lengths from the winner in fifth last time out at this track over 1600m. Has found the frame in all four starts at this journey, including three wins. Vivek G who has scored on him three times retains the mount. Leading contender. BASHIR (9) finished third last time over 1600m at this track, beaten 1.0 lengths. Yet to miss the placings from four starts at this track. Goes up a rung or two but he is capable of a big run. PRIDE'S PRINCE (2) scored last start at this track to make it five wins and four placings from nine starts this campaign. Has a decent record at this trip with four minor placings from five tries and cannot be taken lightly.
6R : TIME AND TIDE (1) has won at both starts this campaign, the latest by 4 lengths over 1200m in the G1 Sprinters Cup at Madras. Has never been out of the placings at the third run in so a big run is on the cards. MAGILETO (2) is coming off a last-start fifth, beaten 5.5 lengths, over 1200m at Madras. Looms large.

Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Winning claims on best figures. MISS AMERICAN PIE (3) is a talented filly who was tested in tougher class last time when fourth over 1200m in the G1 Sprinters Cup at Madras. Niranjan Parmar who has seven wins when partnering stays on. Can play a role in the finish.
7R : SHIRSA (2) scored at this track last time out with 1.3 lengths in reserve at the end of 1200m. Has a fair record at this track with a win and five placings. Should be prominent from the outset. Likely to feature. CHELSEA (5) is yet to break through after seven career starts. Managed to find the placings at this track two starts back before finishing eighth over 1400m at this track last start. Should be in the mix. NELSON RIVER (3) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing fifth and beaten 4.5 lengths starting at $6. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is one of the key runners. ARBITRAGE (9) doesn't win out of turn but ran a strong race last time out over 1000m at this track, finishing second and beaten 0.8 lengths. Looks well placed so expect a bold display.
