FAIR OPTION for The Vijay Textiles Golconda Derby Stakes 2010 (Gr I)

Hi Folks,

The Vijay Textiles Golcoda Derby Stakes 2010 (Gr I) being the stellar attraction for the day, having winner's purse of Rs 51,07,500 wears an open look with a big field of 16 runners. Out of nine challengers from other centres, I strongly fancy Fair Option on the basis of having the highest speed and handicap ratings done by me. Remember Fair Option ran close to Aboline till it suffered a setback and also ran an impressive 2nd in the Derby behind too-good Bruckner over the same trip. Fair Option has shown further improvement and impressive form in the morning trials and according to me one can safely play a sound each way bet in the Derby. Systematic just managed to hold Youre So Beautiful in the Bangalore Oaks. The horse which needs watching according to me as an upset is Incredible from the stables of R.R. Byramji who still at this age has the zest of winning one more Derby. In one of the supporting events of the day i.e. The Sikander-E-Azam Cup Winning Strides is a cinch bet for the day having the best speed ratings amongst other runners. My rest of the speed ratings for the day are as follows:
