15th Aug 08 Pune Races

Dear all,
Wishing you a "Happy Independence day".
Following are my choices for the day.
1st
Alohamora 68
Vantage 66
Musical Rhythm 65
Forest Music 64

Alohamora / Vantage / Musical Rhythm

Alohamora is given a lung opener earlier, working very well, can shine in this set.Vantage is the next best,not sighted in the tracks,but entrusted to a strong jky,will not go down without a fight.

2nd
Arabian Guest 68
Regina 64
Nara 62
Chopasni 60

Arabian Guest / Regina / Nara

Tricky race,if money comes on Arabian Guest,it can pull of the gamble for connections.if A.Guest is not fancied,Regina can handle Nara.

3rd
Dance Maestro 84
Ishtar 84
Thundering Star 84
Giocometti 83

Dance Maestro / Ishtar / Thundering star

Both Dance Maestro & Ishtar are well prepared for a bold show.No track movements of Thundering star & Giocometti in the last one month.Apart from that Giocometti has no form whatso ever to go by.

5th
Spitz 83
Belligerent 67
Itsracingafterall 69
Victory Star 65

Spitz / Belligerent / Itsracingafterall

Spitz stands out in this set & can be backed confidently as the best betting proposition of the day.Belligerent can improve to finish ahead of Itsracingafterall.

5th
Liquidator 83
Chevron 91
Calling The Shots 82
Master Planner 82

Liquidator / Chevron / Calling The Shots

Liquidator was given an easy ride, probably with an eye on
Independence Trophy.Chevron has got hghest rating in this set,but returning to race track after long lay off & a surgery,can't say how it will run.Calling the shots can place.Master Planner who finished 3rd in last years edition of the same race will also try to be in the money.

6th
Highland Conquest 86
Angels Glory 86
Monopoly 81
Swept Away 80

Highland Conquest / Angels glory / Monopoly

Both High.Conquest & Ang.Glory are evenly matched,can't separate them on paper.Choice is yours.

7th
Wahy 81
Indian Summer 79
Babeinthewoods 74
Oh So Romantic 72

Wahy / Indian Summer / Babeinthewoods

Wahy has a decent chance to win from Indian Summer.It's difficult for B.woods & O.S.Romantic to win here.

8th
Xiamen 80
Mister fixit 80
Sea Gull 75
Vijayi Bhava 71

Xiamen / Mister Fixit / Sea Gull

Xiamen & Mister Fixit should fight it out from the word go.Rest of them will follow in a procession.
