A 10 race card for the day. Interesting card, where there will be some pretty good competition.

Race 1. Touching The Town(Win), No Doubt, Caraway. Upset : Nadia.
A 3 year old maidens race for the 51/2 furlong. Here speed and coming out of the gates strongly will matter a lot for the end result. The main contenders are Touching The Town, Nadia, Caraway and  No Doubt
Touching The Town is by the deceased sire Midtown, which has a good record till now, is tracking extremely well, can very well make fun of the runners here. Nadia is tracking well, the distance can be sharp but still can place. Caraway can only wish to place. No Doubt has improved a lot after last run, will make everyone run here.

Race 2. Spring Beauty, Absence, Angel Queen Upset : Silver Court
A class V race and an upset is likely. Spring Beauty is the one to watch here.

Race 3. Shivalik Prince(E/W), Final Countdown, Shahraan Upset : Intrigue
A 3 year old maidens race. The main contenders are Shivalik Prince, Shahraan, Final Countdown, Cinnamon Rush and Intrigue.  Shivalik Prince is bred very well, should make everyone run. Shahraan ran well last time in same distance, looks a speedy customer, if attempted start to finish, can place. Final Countdown is prepared very well, bred nicely, drawn wide and also the Jockey choice is surprising, can place. Cinnamon Rush can place with this jockey. Intrigue is by Whipper known for producing speedy horses, can surprise.

Race 4. Ideal Match, Humsafar, Sachimore Upset : Brace cat.
Another class V race. The race should be between Hamsafar, Ideal Match, Brave Cat  and Sachimore.

Race 5. Lowndes Square, Chintz, Caprioska. Upset : What A Friend(E/W)
A competitive race. The race is between Lowndes Square, Lock And Load, Chintz, Caprioska, and What A Friend. What A Friend ran below par last time, has a chance to redeem itself. Lock and Load ran well last time has a chance to place here. Caprioska has been prepared extensively, win run a good race surely. Lowndes Square has chance based on its last run, with Suraj to guide can win here. Chintz has a chance to place and can surprise.Hatsuhana ran well last time, but Jockey is questionable, better stay away at lower odds.

Race 6. Native Talent(E/W), Rip Van Winkle, Saddle Queen Upset : The Senator.
A mile race.the main contenders are Redshift, Rip Van Winkle, Native Talent, Saddle Queen, and The Senator. The Senator ran well last time, the step up of distance will suit it fine. Rip Van Winkle run in same distance in upper class was very impressive, with Suraj to guide here will give fight to all. Redshift will relish the step up in distance, can place. Saddle Queen is carrying lot of weight, which might act as a stopper. Native Talent looks to be tried today, is running its distance, will be the one to beat here.

Race 7. Ohiyesa(E/W), Tanzanite, Spark Of Bronte Upset : Flaming Lamborgini.
THE NARASIMHARAJA CUP : Class I race. The main contenders are Ohiyesa, Flaming Lamborgini, Tanzanite, Spark Of Bronte and Clear Mandate. Tanzanite won well last time, at this handicap will try to run away from all. Ohiyesa is a good horse, which can win here even with top weight, watch out. Flaming Lamborgini has been a good performer, can win but for that Suraj has to be at his best. Clear Mandate's last run was impressive, but was at bottom weight, today it wont be easy to even place. Spark Of Bronte ran well in early part of season, can run well here to place.

Race 8. Wild Nexus, Sun Doro, Mitraya  Upset : She's A Lady
A sprint race. The race is between She's A Lady, Wild Nexus, Sun Doro, Mitraya and Cool Whistle. A bad race by all accounts.

The race is restricted to Foresight, Rubellite, The Dawn, and Sun Gold.

Race 10.Rugged Beauty, Brunetta, Royal Player Upset : Dramatic Dancer
