S Padmanabhan, trainer of Philosophy: Difficult to predict. But if you want me to nominate one horse, then I will go with my filly--Philosophy. She is the only one who has beaten King's Ransom, is a group race runner, and has gone over the trip.
Gaurav Ramphal, bloodstock agent: Not in any particular order, but King's Ransom, Supernatural & Mojito.
Malesh Narredu, trainer of Wall Street: Crowded field, so luck of the race and gate position will be very crucial. Supernatural, Once You Go Black, Shamrock & King's Ransom have done everything right. But I just hope my horse (Wall Street) turns out to be the dark horse.
Anit Kasyap, race caller: King's Ransom, Supernatural, Once You Go Black--I don't see beyond these three.
Satish Narredu, trainer of Shamrock & Ashwa Magadheera: My boss, the late Dr MAM Ramaswamy, used to say, "You can win only if you are in". So I have put in both my horses by paying the late entry fee.
Jehangir Poncha, horse feed manufacturer: King's Ransom, Mojito, Mirra & Supernatural.

Dallas Todywalla, trainer: I am a bit biased towards the local horses--the Pesi duo of Supernatural and King's Ransom, Mojito & Once You Go Black should be concerned at the finish. Among outstation challengers I think Arjun Manglorkar's Mirra looks good.
Bezan Chinoy, trainer: I think the race is between Pesi's two horses--King's Ransom & Supernatural. There is no third horse.
Bakhtiar, race lover & regular Derby visitor: I think it will be a straight fight between King's Ransom & Mirra.
Adhirajsingh, trainer of Dangerous: I run three horses in the Derby fray: Dangerous, Dyf & Van Gogh. Dangerous has found King's Ransom a tough nut to crack, but she has trained on well after the Oaks.
Shiven Surendranath, RWITC steward & owner of Once You Go Black: Big field, 19 runners, an upset cannot be ruled out. My horse is feeling well, and I believe we have one of the best jockeys in Sandesh.
Narendra Lagad, trainer of Golden Neil: Supernatural, King's Ransom & Golden Neil.
Rehanullah Khan, trainer: I don't see any outstanding horse in the Derby fray. The race is open. Pesi's filly, King's Ransom, has a slight edge.
Shujaat Hussain, Chief Stipe: Luck of the race and jockey temperament will be strong factors because of the big field. I am looking forward to a very exciting race.
Altaf Hussain, trainer: They all have to beat Pesi Shroff's pair--King's Ransom & Supernatural. The dark horse may be the one ridden by Sandesh--Once You Go Black.
