All 8 races Vijay Singh favorite. Shows the Aukaat of Kol racing. With multiple entries punters will get lost due to odds .
I may go wrong in all 8 events but based on ODDS on Offer these are my thoughts.
1-5 can lose.
2nd 3rd fav can win.
4-10 5-8 both Can lose.
6-7 7-7 Can win.
Guess 8-9 will be withdrawn at the gates
Just because I say - CAN WIN - does not mean one should wager. Look at odds and decide accordingly.
1. Presidential.
4 out of 5 in fray come from 1 family.
Guess # 3 has least chance .
# 4 needs to get accustomed to Kol Tracks.
# 2 is consistent but hardly beat anything of note. May finish 2nd at best.
Between stable mates , preference for Higher rated horse.
2. Arabian Queen.
Ghost & Dubai Dunes have no chance. Rimel has claims only for Place.
Dubai Gold runs after nearly 10 months. Sparingly raced. A repair case. Hence can't be backed confidently.
AQ has raced in classics , younger horse so has better credentials than stable mate Whistle Blower.
3. Horses 1 5 6 have no chance to win.
Rest 3 have claims for whatever reasons. Not mentioning obvious choice as first 2 races I have shortlisted same rider.
4. EastSide. Bread & Butter.
Multiple entries from couple of low class trainers. Fancied runner at low weights is a class V horse , one more from stables of notorius VS stables.
5. Weronika. Thiago.
Fair chance for younger horse # 7 to do well
Tuscany last run was in Feb 2022 where it beat Success which is rated 80 now. Setback case obviously. May or May Not. Those confident can take a chance based on its impressive credentials.
6. Hidden Gold . Exotic Queen.
Cape Tenaros may have reached its peak.
7. Trainer VS holds the key with 3 entries. Others are short of class - experience.
8. Truth & Dare . Yazh.
Looks wide open.
Good day
Trainer Vijay Singh & Rider Suraj Narredu are Expected to do well on the Big Day.
There were 3 certainties on Saturday at blr - pick money cases -
Invincible. Artemis Ignacia . Speedster.
And ironically all 3 failed miserably thereby proving that Nothing is certain in Racing.
Hence do wager based on expected returns. If there is a LOSS let it be on a higher priced horse . If by luck it Wins , you won't regret the bet. Lot of heartburn when money goes down the drain on Short priced favorites.
