The Rosmini Plate Div-2

Class 4 / Horses Rated 20 to 46-1200M

            This is class IV race open class with horses of all ages competing. Being a D2 race the contenders are either 3YO or a 4YO.

As per the divisioning rules at RWITC out of the 27 horses accepted to run this race the forst 13 horses will be first allocated to run in D1 & the remaining 12 (horse #  14 to 27 in handicaps) will be allocated to D2. However if there are two horses of the same trainer or owners are there then the higher rated of the two will remain in D1 & lower rated relegated to D2. Some trainers use this facility wisely by getting their good horses competing in D2and allowing them to compete with relatively inferior set of horses which improves their chances of winning the race a great deal.

If you look at the present card first 4 horses have been assigned to run in D2 and not in D1 even though they should be in D1 strictly as per ratings. It is clear that the trainers have done this with some design. If we can decipher their design we have found the winner.

LADY IN RED:  This 4YO filly has won his 3^rd career start in a class 4 race at Mumbai to clear maiden status at 1:12.33 at a rating of 29. Having been penalized 12 points for that victory has opted to run in the same class even though she is eligible to run in 40-66 class. On both occasions she was found wanting as she was a same class winner (SCW). She cannot be ruled out here but being an SCW she may find it a tad difficult.

MISS MONEYPENNY: This is a 3YO filly who has won her career first start in 1000M race at 59.45, though not entirely expected. Thereafter she ran ran in 3 terms races (1 G3 race), and has competed with classy horses like Ruffina, Oracle, Bottega Louie etc. With decent preparations on the trial track has got the best credentials.

ROMANTIC WARRIOR: is a maiden 4YO gelding whose only good credential was last start 3^rd, 1 ¼ length adrift the winner. But that was in January 2017 and has not had a race run for nearly 8 months now. His recent morning workouts is not inspiring and in my opinion should use this race as a rehearsal for a future victory.

COSA NOSTRA:  is a maiden 3YO filly who has had one career start at Mumbai. She was withdrawn in her last start duly to unruly behavior at the gates and as such like her stable mate Romatic Warrior is here for a race run rather than any other motive.

In the final analysis I find the credentials of MISS MONEYPENNY very appealing and therefore nominate her to win this race.

Good Luck!
