On festival day chennai race club has framed derby day card with 7 races looks to be unhealthy as such no clear cut winner except for 'Iron king' in first race as per superiority. Punters to be cautious while betting. However my choices with speed rating points are as follows
1 race:
7.Iron king-53
1. Queen anula- 46
4.Red falcon-43
8.Tignanello-23
My choice:7.Iron king-win
(Iron king (1-7) trainer Azahar ali double with (6-6) The leader)
2 race:
1.Golden legend-32
3.Torobravo-30
My choice:1.Golden legend-win
(A tough fight is expected between the two rated above)
3 race:
1.Golden marina-63
6.Perfect blend-56
8.This is gold-55
4.Opus one-37
My choice :1.Golden marina-e/w
(In this race 'This is gold' may be the market fancied but winning chances are poor. Top rated and late finisher 'Golden marina' can upset the race, one can take an each way chance.)
4 race:
1. Shamrock -100
2.Prana-97
My choice:1. Shamrock -win
(A close fight is expected between the above two classic contenders. Others may not come into top 2)
5 race:3y old terms race
1.Anigraha -36
6.Laguna seca-33
4.Black floral-30
3.Striking viking-30
My choice:1.Anigraha -win
('Laguna seca' is an unknown bred ran 5 lengths 2nd as a fav in a 3 horse field over 1100 mtrs in a million race on its debut run again may be market fancied again but I personally doubt it's winning chances here. 'Luke the nuke' is also unknown bred first timer)
6 race:
4.Knotty legend -68
7.Tiepolo-64
3.John wick-63
6.The leader-60
My choice:4.Knotty legend -win
(Though running over derby distance for the first time un beaten full brother to 'Prana' a proven stayer 'Knotty legend' can lift the HPSL south india derby the feature event of the day)
7 race:
9.Sweet legacy-36
7. Truth n wine-33
3. Emperor vikram-32
1.Rising tycoon-26
My choice:9.Sweet legacy-e/w
