Hi Folks,
S. S. Shah trained Hotstepper is in great heart, as evidenced in the morning trials, should lift the prestigious Southern Command Gold Trophy, the chief event of the races to be held today. Hostepper has been prepared with this cup in view and in fact looking at his morning workouts I feel is the best proposition for the day as he is class above other 4yr olds in the fray. My rest of the selections for the day are as follows:
Race No.1 : Madamme Bijoux 2) King Of The Ring 3) Secret Agenda
Madamme Bijoux sprinted ahead led till 300 and seemed to be making it, lost the issue near 200mts and finished good 2nd. Since Madamme Bijoux has good initial speed then others, should enable her to score maiden victory. She has the best final 200mts. speed rating amongst others and am sure Lagad will go with Madamme Bijoux instead of Secret Agenda and enable Shrikant Kamble to score his first winner. Lastly Madamme Bijoux enjoys the best performance rating having figured on board on last three occasions.
Race No. 2 : Flashing Flame 2) Star Crusader 3) True Elegance
Both Flashing Flame and Star Crusader have raced alongside in Race No.83. Flashing Flame was always ahead of Star Crusader from the bend and even though Mallesh tried his best on Star Crusader to catch up by gradually improving from 200, was unable to do so and finished 2nd. At that time Star Crusader was conceding 2.5kgs to Flashing Flame and today its reverse. Whereas Flashing Flame in the same race powered to victory by leading from 300mts. and won with plenty in hand, will enable Flashing Flame to score again. True Elegance won a hard fought race last time and also the timing is nowhere near the above two well performed horses hence the chances for her look dim.
Race No. 3 : Star Adventure 2) Young Offender 3) Hi Dolly
An avoidable race wherein though Star Adventure faces poor opposition. Star Adventure has not done anything extraordinary by which it should command cramped odds. Hence it is better to leave it. Also remember this being the first leg of carried forward super jackpot pool upset chances are also very bright.
Race No. 4 : The Rising 2) Athena 3) Star O’ War
The Rising was 6th at bend and was seen warming up late to finish a fair 2nd to Star Always. Today with extra 200mts to travel if kept up with the pace of the race has a bright chance to win in this present class. Athena though finished a long way 2nd to Juventus will need a lot of improvement to beat the former. Star O’ War can place ahead of the others.
Race No. 5 : Hotstepper 2) Diego Rivera 3) The Hurricane
S.S.Shah trained Hotstepper though makes his first appearance, has the advantage of a good mock race in August and subsequent morning workout are very satisfactory. It is class above amongst all the 4yr olds and hence according to me should lift the prestigious The Southern Command Gold Trophy (Gr.3) even though he is taking on The Hurricane an impressive winner here. In fact the last time both met at Mumbai in Race No.68 Hotstepper at level weights was seen finishing on from the 3rd last position at bend and finished ahead of The Hurricane. The Hurricane will need Herculean efforts to turn the tables over here. In fact Diego Rivera winner of Super Mile at Hyderabad has summered well at Bangalore and will be the one all have to take care. Czar Alexander may fight out with The Hurricane for minor placing.
Race No. 6 : Galactica 2) Go To Go 3) Phenomenale
A tricky race avoidable from betting angle wherein Galactica has a minor edge over others as last time it finished unextended 2nd to Spitz. In fact Go To Go, Phenomenale an expensive failure at Mumbai, Incredible Beauty, anyone can win out of the group.
Race No. 7 : Golden Symbol 2) Quand Meme 3) Paper King
Golden Symbol was whipped heavily to finish 2nd to Riyasat at these odds one cannot recommend it as a banker for the various pools. Please note Quand Meme was seen finishing 5th from behind. Can upset the former with extra 200mts. to travel.
Race No. 8 : Chevron 2) Tromos 3) Rising Hero
Again a difficult race and avoidable from the betting angle as Tromos after lying last at bend finished 4th and is traveling for the first time this distance whereas Chevron in spite of a long lay off performed exceedingly well when placed a fighting 2nd to True Elegance. Should improve with that run. Rising Hero again runs after a long gap. Was withdrawn last time as the horse was having fever. Hence Chevron an experience customer has a good chance to score at tempting odds.
Day’s Best : HOTSTEPPER
Good Double: The Rising and Hotstepper
Kainchi : The Rising, Hotstepper and Chevron
Good luck to all
Thanking you,
Jimmy
