1R : CITY OF JOY (5) finished third, beaten 7 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1200m at this track. Placed to advantage so expect a big run. I SMELL THE DANGER (3) lines up on the back of a 7 length fourth over 1400m at this track. Should be in this for a long way. SEA WATERS (6) again failed to feature last start, finishing seventh and beaten 20 lengths over 1200m at this track. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. One of the main contenders. HORUS THE GREAT (1) failed to threaten when fresh from a spell last time out, beaten 35 lengths into seventh over 1600m at this track. Should be prominent from the outset. Not to be discounted.
2R : COOL DADDY (4) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 3 lengths over 1600m at this track. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Shaping up nicely and he looks certain to measure up again. THE PRESENCE (2) finished third when resuming from a spell last start over 2000m at this track. Expecting a bold showing. HEART (1) finished third last start over 2000m at Pune, beaten 9 lengths. Has the talent to get the prize. GARTH (3) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1600m at this track, beaten 17 lengths. Fitter so can feature in the finish.
3R : STORMY OCEAN (1) last appeared a week ago when he finished 6 lengths away in fourth over 1600m at this track. Should hold the small field at bay. MAIN STREET (3) resumed from a spell three weeks ago and scored by half a length over 1400m at this track in a bright start to the campaign. Should stay out of trouble in the small field and is sure to play a big role. GREAT GUNS (2) returned from a spell three weeks ago when he was beaten 2.5 lengths into fourth over 1400m at this track. Fitter this time. Hard to beat in this suitable race. MULTIVERSE (4) returns from a spell of six months. Didn't waste any time finding form at beginning of last prep, finishing a nose away in second at Mumbai over 2000m. These small fields can throw up surprises so he cannot be ruled out.
4R : PANTAZI (3) scored by 10 lengths last time out over 1100m at this track. Yet to be beaten here, scoring four wins from as many starts. Sure to run well. GOLD EMPIRE (2) finished 9 lengths adrift in fourth at Mysore over 1600m at his latest appearance. Sure to be competitive with so few opponents. VICTORIA CROSS (4) turned in a fine effort to win by 4 lengths at today's course and distance last time out to continue his outstanding recent form. Meets some better types this time but another win beckons. CORTADO (1) hit the ground running this time in work, scoring by 7 lengths when resuming at this track over 1100m six weeks ago. The least attractive option in the small line-up.

5R : DUBAI PRINCESS (5) broke through for a win last start when second up from a spell, scoring by 6 lengths over 1200m at this track. Strips fitter so she looks the testing material. HIGH COMMAND (3) fought on for second last start over 1800m at Hyderabad, making it two minor placings in a row. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. BLACK EAGLE (1) finished 7 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1200m at this track two weeks ago. Steps up in distance today. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. One of the main contenders. VINCENT VAN GOGH (4) finished third last time over 1200m at this track when resuming from a spell, beaten 6 lengths. Will trim down second-up. In the right race and is worth serious consideration.
6R : LIGHT THE WORLD (2) saluted at the first run back from a spell last start over 1100m at this track, scoring by one length. Has been given a let-up of five weeks since that outing. Open to plenty of improvement and is clearly the one they have to beat. DR DOOM (3) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths. Fitter this time. Hard to beat in this suitable race. MATHANGI (1) never really threatened when resuming last time out, finishing midfield and beaten 10 lengths over 1100m at this track. A Ashhad Asbar who has three wins when partnering stays on. Likely improver with strong claims. LAVISH GIRL (8) did very well to fill a minor placing when resuming at this track but raced below expectations last time over 1400m at this track, finishing 11th and beaten 16 lengths. Has her share of ability and can do a lot better.
7R : DONA SIENNA (4) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1100m at this track, beaten 5.5 lengths. Fitter and sure to run well. CAT WHISKERS (6) ran a strong second over 1100m at this track two runs back then was below his best last time over 1400m when eighth, beaten 8 lengths. Kept fresh since that last run so he is right in this. TRILLIONAIRE (8) turned in a fine effort to win by 2.75 lengths at today's course and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Tackling a deeper field this time but he is good enough to cope. SUPERLATIVE (1) returned from a spell two weeks ago when he was beaten 18 lengths into eighth over 1400m at this track. Strips fitter and should be thereabouts.
