MUMBAI MARCH 11 2012

A challenging racecard. I expect that all would back Shirke's horses, but do be careful.

There are deemak aplenty in the woodwork.

My selections are:
  
GLOWING STAR( )- HAUNTING FANTASY(3/1 )- SPIRIT OF MERCY, (3/1 ), a close call between the first two. CAPRIOLE is at 2/1, which is odd, since Haunting Fantasy trounced her in the 1000 Guineas.

SCARLET PIMPERNEL(14/10 )- FORWARD CHARGE( )- SNOW BLAZE(3/1 )- CHEMIN DE FER( )

FORTUNE HUNTER( 7/2)-WORD OF HONOUR(7/2 )-RISKY BUSINESS(13/10 )

ORITO(5/2 )-AMADEUS(3/1 )

STAR TRAINER(12/10 )-VITTORIA( 3/1). The latter has a better record, but had a setback in training.

ASTAPI(7/2 )- BERLUSCONI(2/1 )

EDWINA(9/2 )-HAWK OF THE WIND(3/1 )- AMAZING DESIRE(9/2 )- AFROJACK(6/1 )

SOLID ROCK(5/1 )-WELLS FARGO( )-LOLA(5/1 )-ADAMS PRINCE(5/1 ),ORIENTAL SAPPHIRE(12/10)

Day's best: SOLID ROCK
