Unbeaten FLEETING ARROW should annex The poonawalla Bangalore Derby (Grade I) and maintain its record

Hi Folks,

Fleeting Arrow trained by J.Babu Rao goes into the Gr 1 Poonawalla Bangalore Derby with an excellent chance of pulling off six in a row. Among the ten runners in fray for the prestigious event, slated to be held to day, Icebreaker, Fantastic Quest and Fleeting Arrow pick themselves as the best performed horses here. Fleeting Arrow has kept his unbeaten record intact on this track. And as such, till it is beaten, one has to follow it. Icebreaker and Abs Fabs are the two fillies that traversed the present trip and Icebreaker as such has displayed a sparkling turn of foot when required in the home stretch. Fleeting Arrow will be going for the first time and going by the line of Sabre Dance pedigree it should be able to travel well. Fleeting Arrow has proved his mettle over a mile and his best performance has been the win over seven furlongs when he looked hopelessly boxed and showed great acceleration power when it beat Jet Fire at the post in Race No.26. The nature of this win has me helped to enhance his reputation for the Derby distance. Fleeting Arrow was given an easy mock race over a mile and quarter trip in the month of January as a preparation for Derby distance and it impressed one and all. If Fleeting Arrow shows the same burst, as seen over a mile earlier, he will be the one everyone has to beat. In handicap rating Fleeting is superior to Icebreaker by at least 3kgs. Hence taking into account all the above factors, I feel Fleeting Arrow is a cinch for the day as my theory is follow till defeated. In fact I fancy Fantastic Quest to be joker in this pack to upset the applecart of Fleeting Arrow as he showed an improved performance in achieving a hard victory last time out. Also he would relish longer trips and his performance should be watched closely. In The Managing Committee Cup Div.I the winner should emerge amongst Classerville and Mystic Quest. Classerville is blazing and ready for the kill, will take a lot of beating and should win today from in form Mystic Quest. But in order to achieve a win it will have to achieve more than 609 in speed rating. In the Div.II Queen's Collection should canter away. My rest of the speed ratings for the day are as follows:
