SET ALIGHT for The McDowell Signature Indian Derby(Grade I)

Hi Folks,

Set Alight unbeaten in her last ten starts, is in pink of condition as evidenced by her regular track movements, should not find it difficult to stay over the 2,400m trip to win the McDowell Signature Indian Derby to be held to-day. As expected of her, is in fine winning form and should annex the blue riband with ease. According to me she is superior than the rest by at least 5kg to Autonomy and 6kg to Dancing Dynamite in handicap rating. No doubt it has never shown excellent speed rating in her career but the fact to be noted is she has never been extended till date by any of the horses run with, besides has been whipped only once when it last raced with Dancing Dynamite. Now this shows the class of the filly which according to me can be safely kept as a banker in the respective pools without fear. In the Race No.134 Set Alight was well positioned 4th at 400, with Dancing Dynamite 5th and was just seen cantering away from 300mts. with just a whack for a reminder rest it won with plenty in hands with no one to catch her. It was spontaneous gallop which the filly rightfully responded when asked for. Dancing Dynamite was seen finishing full of speed along with Autonomy and I am sure to-day it is the one which should trouble Set Alight. Abs Fabs no doubt won in excellent timing at Kokata still lacks that power to topple the Western India horses and at best can place third followed by Autonomy which was all out last time.
