Representational picture
The massive improvement displayed by Bateleur when winning his last race on the Mahalaxmi racetrack makes me feel that the Vishal Gaikwad-trained five-year-old may shock a seasoned campaigner like New England in the 1400m, R M & Rukmani Goculdas Million, the feature event of Sunday's six-race card. Of course, the race could end up in a three-way finish with Turning Point, another form horse who is on the verge of a hat-trick, also in the fray, but Bateleur, to be ridden by Neeraj Rawal, should be able to catch the judge's eye first.
First race at 3.30 pm.
Selections:
Tulipa Plate (Class IV; 2000m)
Gdansk 1, Benevolence 2, Lucky Luciano 3.
T M Goculdas Plate (For 5y&o, class III; 1000m)
Gold Field 1, Untitled 2, Locarno 3.
