1R : YULETIDE (1) finished fourth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1600m at this track, beaten only one length. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. MARLBORO MAN (4) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 5 lengths when fourth in a 1600m contest at this track a month ago. Likely improver with strong prospects. LION KING (2) hasn't been able to break through for over a year, the latest finishing third over 1100m at this track. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Will be in this for a long way. TALKING POINT (7) was never really a threat when resuming last start over 1600m at this track, finishing 7 lengths from the winner in sixth. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. In the mix.
2R : FOXY (2) was sent out favourite last time and scored by 2.5 lengths at this track. Yet to miss the frame in two starts over this course and distance. Has a high cruising speed. Among the leading chances. RAFAEL (5) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 7 lengths into seventh. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. AKITANIA (3) looks to launch this prep the way she ended the last four-and-a-half months ago when she scored over 1100m at Bangalore. One of the key contenders. JETFIRE (8) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1100m at this track, beaten 5.5 lengths into seventh. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
3R : CLAUDE (1) turned in a nice effort last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished just 1.3 lengths from the winner in second over 1400m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can go on to take this out. MACHIAVELLIAN (3) is back after a break of 12 weeks. At the last run before the layoff he finished 11th over 1600m at this track. Good effort to kick-off last prep when in the money at Bangalore over 1400m. No surprise if he was able to get off the mark. RENOIR (5) wasn't far off maiden success before a break of three-and-a-half months, finishing the campaign with a minor placing over 1400m at Bangalore. Nicely placed and can get off the mark. SEMURG (8) is a three-start maiden who returned last time and finished fifth at this track over 1400m, beaten 6 lengths. Will derive great benefit from that outing and deserves consideration.
4R : BEYOND STARS (3) failed to run a strong 1800m last start after a close second over 1600m at this track the run prior. Looks better placed over this shorter trip so should be in the finish. ABSOLUTE GORGEOUS (2) finished 3.5 lengths from the winner in fourth last start over 1600m at this track, an improvement on her seventh at this track the run before. Likely improver with strong prospects. DUESENBERG (8) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1600m at this track, beaten 6 lengths into fifth. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. COME SEPTEMBER (4) ran below expectations last start, finishing eighth and beaten 10 lengths at this track over 1200m. Well placed to turn things around.

5R : LORD ERIC (2) is close to breaking through, last start finishing just half a length away in second over 1000m at this track. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. APEROL (7) was not far away last time out, finishing fourth over 1000m at this track. The extra journey should play into his hands. Poses a serious threat. MANOR HOUSE (10) is back from a spell of seven months. Closed last prep as a winner, taking out a 1200m contest at Mumbai by 1.5 lengths. Big run is expected. JOHNNY MAC (9) turned in a modest performance when sixth last time out over 1000m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths, after a win at this track at the previous outing. In contention this time.
6R : LITTLE JOHN (3) proved too strong two runs ago at this track. Less impressive last time out when second over 1800m at this track, beaten 3 lengths. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. MYSTERIOUSSTRANGER (4) finished 6 lengths away in sixth last time out over 1400m at this track when fresh from a spell. Tackles a longer journey this time. Should be prominent from the low draw. Expected to be in the finish. SASEKA (10) did little and finished 4 lengths from the winner in fifth over 1600m at this track last start, a less impressive effort than her first-up fourth at this track the run before. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. ALLEZ L'ETOILE (5) finished second last start over 1200m at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths. Will be rock-hard fit. Worth plenty of thought.
7R : JACKSON (1) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1400m at this track. Meeting a deeper field this time but he is up to the challenge. HAZEL (6) returned from a spell a month ago when she was beaten 6 lengths into seventh over 1400m at this track. Finds a suitable assignment and can find winning form. DESERT CHARM (4) stepped out on her debut over 1000m at this track four weeks ago and finished fifth, beaten 5.5 lengths. Should be thereabouts. MAGICAL MOMENTS (7) has not appeared since she finished 11th over 1200m at this track on August 2. A bold showing is expected.
8R : MENJOU'S MOUSTACHE (3) produced a solid effort last time when fifth over 1000m at this track. Won't be bothered by this longer journey. Finds the ideal assignment. WE STILL BELIEVE (6) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a nice race last time out, finishing third and beaten only 1.75 lengths over 1000m at this track. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. SAMSON (8) was close to breaking through last time, beaten just a long neck over 1000m at this track. Ideally placed to break the ice. CONTINENTAL DRIFT (5) could only manage to finish eighth, beaten 20 lengths, at his latest appearance over 1400m at this track. No surprise if he figured in the finish.
