The Rising appears to be the best bet on Sunday
Pune:
The S.N.Joshi-trained The Rising (Forest Fair -Miss Padmini) to
be ridden by the forceful Western India veteran jockey Mallesh Narredu,
seems to be the best bet for this Sunday's races (20/8/06). This
speedy 3-year-old gelding is competing in The 1000 Metres Sub-Area
Commander's Trophy(Div-I)which has a big field of 15 horses. The
Rising is raring to go and is in the pink of condition, as he has
tracked splendidly & has an extremely good chance to gain his maiden
victory. My Selections for Sunday (20/8/06).

Outsider Goodness Gracious wins Feature
Pune: The Faisal A.Abbas-trained 5-year-old mare Goodness
Gracious (Diffident-Amorsa) was ridden to a confident start-to-finish
decisive 2-1/2length victory by the forceful Bangalore-based jockey
K.P.G.Appu in the feature race of the 10-race card which was run
her last Sunday (13/8/06). She was totally neglected in the betting
and won at about 20-1 and over in the ring and she paid Rs 231 for
a mere Rs 10 wager on the tote.
The favourite the S.Padmanabhan trained Amazing Power, finished
a dismal 3rd behind the 2nd placed Live Legend and filling the frame
to be a mediocre 4th was Adam's Star.
Last Sunday's (13/8/06) impressive performers who merit a following
are:
Intrinsic Value (1000-1400M) who was too speedy for her rivals
in The 1200 M Romantic Feelings Plate.
Wild Cat (up to 1400M) who was a late and close fast finishing
2nd to Maranello in the 4th race of the day.
Secret Memory(1400-2000M) who won the 8th race of the day
over 1400 M impressively by a distance.
Priapus (1600-2000 M) who superbly won the 9th race over
1400 M, thus boosting his Pune Derby chances.
Cry Of Truth (1600-2400M) who was far too good in the last
race over 1800M, which she won splendidly.
