BANGALORE SELECTIONS  09/06/2019.

Race 1:   The spotlight will be on Ekalavya(1), Princess Amu(5) and to some extant last start failed favourite Turf Striker(8) but my instinct says Galino(7) who is being campaigned in the longer distance race first time may upset.

Race 2:  Desert Angel(1), Chula Vista(2), Songkran(5) & Darashani(8) have some numbers to show and winner could emerge from out of these. Again relying on instinct I prefer Songkran(5), who has had a lung opener earlier in this season who was seen finishing on, to improve on that performance with a positive switch in saddle.

Race 3: Natalma(4), who was forced to run wide in her last start from draw 10, was further pushed wider at the first turn by rider less horse, was seen finishing purposefully even though 8 ¼ lengths in arrears to the winner who was too good that day. If ridden with purpose she can overhaul the other contenders Another Rainbow(1), Limato(2) & King Kreole(3).

Race 4:  Lacking in initial speed Fair Warning found the 1200m trip too short for his liking even though he covered a lot of ground in the final stages in his previous start in race #26. With that run benefit and 200m more to run he may provide sporting patron Tripthi Kohli an opportunity to lead him in the victory podium. Challenge to his bid should emerge from Set To Win(2) & Striking Grey(4).

Race 5:  Tutankhamun(1) & Mauritiana(2) are locked in battle one more time and winner picking is always hazardous in these type of races. However I find the credentials of Knotty Ash(10) very appealing for an each way wager, even though I would have preferred he is ridden by Akshay Kumar, who is missing in action this weekend.

 Race 6:  Very difficult race to pick winner. Sir Lancelot(4), Roman Senator(3), Hukumat(7) & Kirkwood(8) do have some credentials but none could be picked with confidence. However Northern Alliance (3) who is working well with the same rider could find a place in board and a place bet on him might bring rewards.

Race 7:   Career first start winner, grade 3 runner Star Cavalry is finding himself in a class 4 company should assert himself. Pity the connections are not ambitious and they are taking him up through the handicap route.

Good Luck.
