10th Aug 08 Pune Races

Hi,
Following are my choices
1st
Sudden Impact / Modesty / chief warrior

Race is restricted to the first two.

2nd
Palermo / Meditas Pride / Expensive Affair

Palermo is a problematic horse & if its legs hold true, can pose problems to the fancied horses. By default, both Med.Pride & Ex. Affair are in the contention as others have no chance to make it.Red Cloud is working well, but on race track big ????

3rd
Golden Kingdom / Fighting Fantasy / Fluent Victory

On tracks, Gold.Kingdom looks better than Fight.fantasy.Fluent Victory is not prepared to strike here,though it ran very good 3rd to Ikaria.

4th
Aegina / Mysterio / Princess Ruby

On rating Aegina looks good, but why jky Riyaz Sheikh ?.Mysterio is good on tracks. Princess Ruby is better to Blue Blaze, who ran a pathetic race on opening day.

5th
Romantic Impact / Calling The shots / Elementto Angel

The race is strictly between the first two, with former having slight advantage.

6th
Beyond Belief / The Hurricane / Rejuvenite / Elmwood

Bey.Belief has slender edge over The Hurricane. The latter is working brilliantly,both should fight neck & neck.

7th
Western Challenge / Rising Hero / Bourbon Queen

West.Challenge has the best credentials in this field to win here.

8th
Black Warrior / Mubarras / Opera Royale

Bl.warrior is hiding its true form & can oblige if the connections decide in its favour. Mubarras will take the honours if Bl.warrior is not in the hunt.

My money will be on the following horses

1.Sudden Impact - win
2.If the paddock condition of Palermo is good, small E/W bet on Palermo, orelse I'll leave the race.
3.Golden Kingdom -win, if condition of the horse is good.
4. Aegina / Mysterio - small jodi bet
5.Rom.Impact win & Calling The Shots Place
6.Bey.Belief & The hurricane - jodi bet
7. West.challenge _ decent win bet
