First-time blinkers on handicap debut
Rules:
Bet any horse that is wearing blinkers for the first time in its career when the race also happens to be its handicap debut.
Logic:It is common practice for some trainers to run horses under less than optimum conditions in races which qualify them for a
handicap mark. Having achieved a competitive rating for the horse the trainer is then faced with the task of taking advantage of it.
He will attempt to do that by selecting the ideal conditions for his runner, in terms of track type, distance and ground.
It is a fact that blinkers, more often than not, work better on subsequent applications than they do the first time. However, on the
occasions that they do enhance a performance on their first application the results can be spectacular. A generous rating for a
handicap debut and an ideal set of conditions can further enhance the effect of first-time blinkers on the occasions that they do
provide this spectacular improvement.

9. Cerrado
Under 1400mts specialist Horse racing handicap systems Regina qualifies. Cerrado won only once but since it ran along strong
horses in Mumbai we can be lenient with rule of compulsory 2+ wins over this distance
Cerrado finished a impressive second to Megasthenes at this Centre last season, has impressed in fast work and hence first
choice

Shivalik was victim of inept handling in last run, is a mare conceding weight hence ignoring it
Tree Lounge foes up in class hence ignoring
Young Darling came up very well to register a stunning win in last run, positive shoe change boosts it chances hence first
preference

1. Active
All horses baring Star Supremo are running over this trip for first time hence outcome of race will be difficult to predict
This is 3 years only race and one should look at official rating at which horse makes handicap debut, it gives fair idea of how
good horse is in handicappers view
Active made a handicap debut at 33, has been running fair races and stands good chance to raise winning gallop
Star Supremo ran listless in 2000Guineas; its previous runs were ordinary
Caballo Rapido also makes handicap debut at 33, returned bleeding in Madras hence a bit skeptical to take confident call on it

Mozart is winner of 2000Guineas hence cannot be ignored
My Opinion ran on well to finish good second in 2000Guineas; since its previous form is poor this may be flash in pan type of a
run
Spitfire who finished good second to STAR SUPERIOR in Mumbai was struggling due to shorter unfavorable trip in last run ,will
settle over this trip and stands good chance to raise winning gallop

7. Chief of Command
Ship Rock who finished second to likes of Watchmyscript in Invitational weekend is clearly cut above the rest, much depends on
fit it is since no trackwork is noticed
Chief of Command was mighty impressive winner in last runner and it will be prudent to fancy a horse in form
