Endeavour for Madras Race Club Trophy

Mahalaxmi racecourse in Mumbai. Pic/Shadab Khan

The Imtiaz Sait-trained Endeavour (60.5 kg) and Alaf Hussain-trained Mozelle (49 kg), sitting at the top and bottom of the scales respectively, are expected to dominate the finish of the Madras Race Club Trophy, the feature event of Sunday's Mahalaxmi card. With speedy Sky Fall also in the fray, the race may culminate in a thrilling finish. I nominate Endeavour for the top spot. Of the eight races, the last three will be run under the flood lights.
