Mr Vivek Jain: This race will generate a lot of interest as it appears very open by the look of it. I feel Ocean And Beyond is the one who they all have to beat. Berlusconi comes as the main challenger.
Mr Z S Poonawalla: The Guineas day sure is a fine day to be at the race course. The race itself is interesting with a big line up. In my opinion, Richard Hughes is among the top riders in the world and is partnering one of the top contenders. That, to me, is as good a combination as any.
Mr Berjis Desai: I am very optimistic about my horse, Macchupicchu. He won his last race and returned satisfactorily. He has as good a chance as anyone. Eloise is also in best of condition & is sure to make her presence felt.
Dr.Ram Shroff: A hard race to pick the winner. I feel Ocean And Beyond and Eloise could have a decisive edge over the others.

Mr Haresh Mehta: A very open race with most of the contenders having a realistic chance. I shall stay clear and not even try to zero in on who would win it.
Mr Ashwin Mehta: This one will go ‘beyond the ocean’. In depth I mean. It’s a big field and the chances of most run deep. They have both their plus and minus points. I foresee a real cracker of a race. My sights will be focused at the business end.
Mr Cooji Katrak: Richard has chosen Ocean And Beyond. I think that could turn out to be the right choice.
Mr Imtiaz Sait: I feel Ocean And Beyond has the best chance. I do hope my Starrer comes alive on the big occasion. Macchupicchu is one other horse to watch out for.
