7	OSCILLATION	553
6	JIBUTI	546

8.Diablo-Win

Dancing Splendour has numbers but age????

Diablo is now made to run with Blks after good forward run in last race,stands decent chance to win

Pracs is lethargic and needs hard riding

Sir Song was winner of identical class and distance in Pune,last two runs can be ignored due to interference,choice of rider is not encouraging

Resilent won at 0 ratings,tough to repeat over mile

Uncle Scrooge will be market fancy due to jockey factor and first run in this class factors,top weigted in div-2 are always suspect hence ignored

Jibuti lacks class as it ran in class5 directly from maidens

Maximus in this fast pace race looks difficult under whipless rider

Visionist has age and rider against

Providence has distinction of beating Ageless,has been consistent

Mine Forever won well but was seen hanging in last race,looks tough

Papakura is speedy but falters after 5 furlong

11.Shivalik Shine-Win

Shivalik Shine lost to a horse which won again beating quality field,has good chance to win

8.Costa Del sel-Win

Manner of victory of Costa Del sel suggests its game for this event and should be one of the main contenders

Myrtlewood won very impressively in Oaks,she has this advantage of distance familiarity but now facing colts,can win but surely needs to do a lot
