1. Bisate: Will struggle to carry top weight, runs well with fresh legs only 2. N R I Valley: Found Ashwa Bravo too hot to handle, distance suitability is an issue 3. Ashwa Yashobali: In-form, prepared for this trip, not placed ideally on handicap 4. Staridar: Excuse in last run, no trackwork is a dampener 5. Lombardy: Badly off in last two runs, working extremely well 6. Maxwell: No Chance over this trip 7. Her Legacy: Eyeing for handicap reduction, will disturb Bisate 8. Balius: Won in lower grade of class-3 Conclusion: There is an element of doubt over staying capacity of NRI Valley whereas Lombardy has been prepared for this race and can bounce back to winning ways ********************************************
1. Castle Rock: From follow list, choice of Jockey is perplexing!! 2. Amyra: Failed 9 times in this class, last run was in lower grade 3.

1. Scramjet: Appears to be best suited for 1200mts only 2. Lockhart: Well targeted victory achieved in last but one run, not with this Jockey 3.

Watch My Stride: Won mighty impressively, lack of adequate workouts and possible overweight 10. Cheltenham: Gets positive switch in saddle support but class jump is tough Conclusion: Watch My Stride is best but may carry overweight hence opting for Southern Prince. Just Incredible appeals for place ***********************************************
