Versaki can not win Indian Derby
Pune Derby has thrown many interesting pointers for the next Mumbai season. It has exposed the form and the limitations of several runners. In my earlier article I emphatically said that Versaki will win Pune Derby and my next choice was between Cabriolet and Confiserie .After analyzing the track work it was clear that Cabriolet is the next best runner .Post race it was evident that Versaki has reached his peak and though upto 1600m he may still retain his advantage ,but for races 2000m and above he is vulnerable.
In fact it is too early to make a comment on Indian Derby at this point of time and though he will stay the Derby distance , he will lose if Cabriolet and Jacqueline decide to run and have the ‘fitness’ shown on Derby day. But one thing is clear that next year’s Indian Derby will not be a one horse race and Versaki has little chance to win it ,unless he improves his behaviour and running style . In addition to these three one or two more unexposed challengers may also appear on the Derby day ,- who knows ?

Native Knight has improved a great deal over his last run. If he continues improving like this, he could be a live contender for the classics.
I think "Becket" (owned by Haresh Mehta) will be interesting horse for future classics. His maiden victory at Mysore is noteworthy & has clocked Class 1 timing.Can you please look into his pedigree profile to ascertain whether it will be live candidate for furure classics?
Warm Regards,
