Horse Racing Tips - 03 September 2011

RACE 1: 

TOP FOUR: Cheerful News - Good Time Charlie - Transparent -Imperial Palace

My Fave: Cheerful News - Will be favoured by a good pace in the race and the distance. Is down in class. The best horse of the lot.

Top Place: Good Time Charlie - Can follow closer to the lead or even lead with his very good draw + only 55.5Kg.

Swinger: Good Time Charlie - Transparent

RACE 2:

TOP FOUR: Kickstart - National Manner - Advocacy - Piquet

My Fave: Kickstart - Is down in class with a reasonable weight. Is back on sprints after a good race on the mile against Running On. Has done well earlier on sprints behind Pablo and What A Hit. Will be favoured by the strong pace in the race.

Top Place: National Manner - Seems to be back to his best. Will be favoured also by the hot pace in the race.

Swinger: National Manner - Kickstart

RACE 3:

TOP FOUR: Il Magnifico - Dominion Legacy - Highland Jet - Cypress Express

My Fave: Il Magnifico - Down in class but with top weight. Can follow the leader or even set his pace.

Top Place: Highland Jet: Pulling a lot last time - will be equipped with a Tongue Tie. Has done very well against Inside Out and Western Emblem. Will be a danger for the favourite.

Swinger: Highland Jet - Dominion Legacy

RACE 4: 

TOP FOUR: Shuterfly - Cult Status - Azapel - Cormorant Pass

My Fave: Shutterfly - is back to best after long lay off due to injury. Has done well against top horse Al Masri on his return. Better draw and Geroudis back in the saddle. Will be hard to beat if he gets the first run on his main contenders.

Top Place: Cormorant Pass: Will relish a fast pace and will come at the finish. Is better than his last two races.

Swinger: Cormorant Pass - Cult Status

RACE 5: 

TOP FOUR: King's Shilling - Red Lucifer - Galant Gagnant - Slinga Malinga

My Fave: Red Lucifer - to ignore his last race where he was back after a rest and the going. Seems to be back to his best. Will follow and fire this time. Too good for this class (2nd 1.25L behind Royal Chalon and 2nd behind Profit Report 0.05L).

Top Place: King's Shilling- Will be in the lead with ease according to his racing pattern. Based on his previous run against Quiritus on sprint, he will be a danger if allowed to lead easily.

Swinger: Red Lucifer - King's Shilling

RACE 6: 

TOP FOUR: Captain's Cheer - Monsieur Dane - Meltaway - Modern Monet

Fave: Captain's Cheer - No comments.

Top Place: Monsieur Dane

Swinger: Monsieur Dane - Meltaway

RACE 7:

TOP FOUR: Lord Gogool - Kaboom - Ivory Snow - Jet Force

My Fave: Lord Gogool

Top Place: Kaboom - to ignore his last race. Needed the run. On his SA form is worth this class and the distance better suits him.

Swinger: Kaboom - Lord Gogool

RACE 8:

TOP FOUR: Humble King - Pale Ale - Alteleker - Salvador Dali

My Fave: Humble King - was just unlucky last time out. Has proved a very good finisher. Will outclass the field following his last run.

Top Place: Pale Ale - is improving with each race. 57.5Kg and top draw, will surely be better place this time. Has a very good finish.

Swinger: Humble King - Pale Ale

LEVE PILE WIN: CHEERFUL NEWS - KICKSTART - RED LUCIFER - HUMBLE KING

LEVE PILE PLACE: TRANSPARENT- RED LUCIFER - KABOOM - PALE ALE

BANKER: KICKSTART - HUMBLE KING

SPECIAL MENTION: CAPE GOLD: IS WORTH A PLACE BET. IS BACK TO HIS OPTIMAL WEIGHT - 554Kg.

HORSE RACING TIPS - 19TH MEETING

RACE 6- THE R.K. DUSSOYE BOOKMAKER- MAURITIUS DERBY CUP 1850m- 50+

1. LAST REGAL- 58Kg; Drawn 5; Chisty

Classy sort which ran in top division in South Africa with the likes of Lion In Winter, Past Master and Noordhoek Flyer. Has won coming from the back or following close to the pace. Did well when setting his own pace once as well. Is in good shape. Distance is not a problem having won two times on 1800m in SA. His second race in Mauritius after having run in the Barbe Cup. May suffer from second race syndrome. Outsider's Chance on class.

2. AL'S DEPUTY - 58Kg; Drawn 4; Daby

Another top class well prepared for his second outing on 1850m. Has had a very good first run on 1600m against the same opponent but with the top weight. Will now have weight advantage. Will surely follow close to the pace this time. Will be a danger at the finish if he does not suffer from second race syndrome after rest. A good place bet.

3. NATIONAL PLAY - 58 Kg; Drawn 1; Holder

Following his racing pattern in SA, seems well placed to set the pace in this race. Will be hard nut to crack if allowed to race upfront without being challenged. But with Intercontinental, which has shown some pace on shorter distance, may find a candidate to set the pace as well. But with change of gear where National Play will now be equipped with Drop Noseband, it seems that his trainer has tactically thought of settling the horse on the inside barrier behind a leader and will be coming from the back. Has won all his races when upfront in SA. Can make the top three.

4. ACCUPA - 58 Kg; Drawn 6; Burke

Has won the first leg of the Championship on 1400m, not necessarily his distance. Was beaten by the race circumstances on his last outing and unlucky. This time going on 1850, which will suit him, but with weight for age against some classy horses mentioned above. On his training form and what he has shown till now, others will find it difficult to get the better of Accupa. Also good to note that Accupa has run against top horses like Galileo's Galaxy and Golden Charriot to name a few. Has shown good pace in SA on longer distance and superb finish on sprints in Mauritius. First Chance for win.


5. WESTERN EMBLEM - 58Kg; Drawn 3; Teeha

Will be at his first attempt over 1600m in his career. 1850m does not seem to be a problem for this horse but at weight for age, will seem difficult to match the likes of Accupa and Al's Deputy. Will surely try to take the lead early and try to resist the finish of the favorites. Was favored by a light weight and a tactical race last time.An outsider.

6. INTERCONTINENTAL - 58Kg; Drawn 2; Geroudis

Has won three in a row after a very good debut on sprint. Has beaten lower class division horses but was very impressive in each of his win. Has shown good pace on the mile and has a tendency to pull a lot. With his second draw will either settle behind Western Emblem or National Play to take the first run on Accupa and others.Will surely attack from the 600m mark as usual. 1850m not a problem. Second favorite to win the race.

According to me, the first 200m will be very determining. If National Play jumps well from the gates he will settlle the pace of the race. But on his last outings, National Play did not show such ability and with his Drop noseband on, I beleive the trainer will ask for settling the horse on the inside barriers behind the leader/s in second or third position. If so, then we may find Western Emblem take the lead but with Intercontinental challenging him on the first 200m knowing that Western Emblem will be on his first attempt on this distance and will be carrying 58Kg or 4.5Kg more than his last run. Intercontinental, with Geroudis will prefer to run in behind the leader and will never elect to go forward early in the race knowing that Intercontinental has a tendency to pull. Al's Deputy may also use his good pace shown in SA to follow in a close position with Accupa on his back and Last Regal. Following the good pace expected with the challenge between Intercontinental and Western Emblem on the first 200m, we will expect Accupa to be more advantaged at the finish. Intercontinental will surely attack earlier to take the first run and Accupa will find no difficulty to follow and fire in the last 300m. National Play will certainly be in contention for a place in the top three wit hAl's Deputy. ACCUPA is my choice for the win, followed by National Play and Al's Deputy.

Horse Racing Tips - 20th Meeting - August 07

RACE 6: THE EMTEL LIGHTNING CUP - GROUP 3 - 1000m

1. THE CARDINAL - 60Kg - LHERMYTE - DRAWN 5

Is the classiest horse of the lot. Will benefit from a hot pace and thus will come from behind as usual. 60Kg is not a problem. Will be in the top 3.

2. SHORT CORNER - 54.5Kg - GEROUDIS - DRAWN 2

With Geroudis on board, only 54.5Kg, a top draw on this sprint, has pace to follow closely and finish as well. Is the favorite to bag a winner for his stable.

3. ALWAYS A PLEASURE - 53Kg - DYE - DRAWN 6

Has pace, weight and jockey in his favor as well as the 1000m. Is coming after a long layoff but well trained for this race. Will dictate the pace if jumps well from the outside barrier. Can make the top 4.

4. CHIVAS - 53Kg - LACAILLE - DRAWN 3

Is back on his favorite trip - 1000m where he has never lost. Is well drawn, light weight and will have a hot pace.

5. BURBERRY - 50.5Kg - EMAMDEE - DRAWN 4

Is back on the sprint after a good try over 1500m. Has a strong finish and a strong finisher on board. Will follow at the back before sprinting in the last 400m. Is a danger on his debut form on the same distance. Second favorite.

6. MODERN MONET - 50Kg - JOORAWON - DRAWN 8

His first attempt on this trip. Has shown pace on longer trips. Will be well placed in a midfield position. Will have a very good pace. Will sustain finish. A good place bet.

7. IRISH COFFEE - 49Kg - HATT - DRAWN 1

Is in for his first outing on 1000m. Has shown pace and done well in front running tactics in SA. Wit ha plum draw, Hatt on board, and a light weight, he will follow closely to sustain finish if he is unable to lead. The favorite to win the race according to me.

8. REVOLUTION - 49Kg - RAMA - DRAWN 7

Has lost his early pace. Is no more the same horse and finding it difficult to get back to form. Had a good last outing but in a lower class. Outsider's chance.

Horse Racing Tips - 19th Meeting - July 31

RACE 6: THE AFRASIA BANK MAURITIUS DERBY CUP GROUP 1 - 1600m - POIDS POUR AGE.

1. DISA LEADER - DRAWN 1 - TEEHA

Was beaten by War of Conquest on his last outing, fair and square. Followed too closely the hot pace set by the winner last time out and was too keen due to the presence of Advocacy on his outside. Seems to like to travel one off. Is in a good shape and with all his opponent carrying 58Kg, will definitely be an advantage. Will be the horse to beat again.

2. FRUSK- DRAWN 3 - BURKE

Had a good last outing but was carrying 11Kg less than Disa Leader. Will surely do well on longer distances and preparing himself for the Maiden. Will be in the money.

3. MDANSI - DRAWN 6 -SEGEON

Very disappointing run in a lower class on 1400m last time after a very promising run in the first leg of the Derby. Was unbalanced though enterring the final straight. Will find it difficult with no weight difference and his bad draw.

4. MONSIEUR DANE - DRAWN 5 - FAUCON

Was lame on his last outing but was runner up to Foxtrot Oscar. Has proved to be a hard nut ot crack as a front runner on the mile. Is now up in class and seems difficult to beat the likes of Disa Leader and Seattle Ice class wise but will be the only front runner of the race. Can steal a place in the top 4.

5. SEA OF GALILEE - DRAWN 4 - LHERMYTE

Not to the expectations after a winning start to his career in Mauritius. Will have a good pace though and on a n appropriate distance. Will come at the finish this time again. Can definitely make the top 3.

6. SEATTLE ICE - DRAWN 2 - EAGAN

Did not show any improvement on his last outing. This time will be on the mile, his preferred distance. With his good draw can follow close to the pace or even try to lead. Will be hard to beat in these circumstances. Will prove his class this time. Can upset Disa Leader.

WIN: Disa Leader

Horse Racing Tips - 14th Meeting - June 26

RACE 6: LA COUPE DU CENT - CINQUANTENAIRE: G2 OPEN - 1500m

1. The Cardinal; 60Kg ; Drawn 6 - Naiko

Had a very difficult race on his last outing, having to travel wide almost all the way though with a claimer of 5Kg. Could not accelerate as usual in the straight line. Is back this week and his trainer is confident of a win. Seems that a rest will do him some good. Can set up his own pace or follow closely this time given that there will be no real pacemakers in this field. Cannot be ignored. A place in the top 4.

2. Captain's Knock; 58Kg ; Drawn 5 - Shane Dye

The horse to beat! The pace of the race will not bother him as he can start his action earlier and has a long acceleration as well. His Jockey knows him perfectly.

3. Gliding High; 56Kg ; Drawn 3 - Burke

A classy sort that can match the best horses here on this distance. Will have the pace against him being a back-marker. Can he knock down the Captain? The second best for me till he proves it wrong.

4. Senor Versace; 56Kg ; Drawn 1 - Faucon

A top class horse with great career in SA. A half brother to Captain's Knock. On his class, cannot be ignored in this race. Will need the race but never know on class factor alone can beat the field!

5. Flavius; 52Kg ; Drawn 4 - Eagan

Did a quite good race after a long layoff due to injury. Does run well fresh and with no real pacemakers will be the one to go forward probably. If allowed to run freely and dictate his own pace, can be difficult to counter in the end. But in this class and taking into consideration his second race after long layoff, better go for a place in the top 4.

6. Burberry; 50Kg ; Drawn 2 - Beekhary

Won well last time out showing his devastating finish, but in a lower class. His first outing on a 1500m here with Beekhary on board. Will follow quite closely or can set the pace given that he has already shown pace earlier or can be asked to run in a forward position if pulling. With only 50Kg and good draw, cannot be ignored.
