Saturday's feature race, the Idar Gold Trophy (Gr 3), has attracted only three runners: Jamari, Evaldo and Ruling Dynasty. The contest is likely to boil down to a duel between Jamari and Evaldo.
The last-named (Tr: Prasanna Kumar, jockey: A Sandesh) has won the Winfair247 Eve Champion Trophy (Gr 3) on this track in spectacular style, while Jamari (Tr: Pesi Shroff, jockey: Vivek G) has recently returned from Bangalore after winning the Maharaja's Gold Cup. I expect Jamari to catch the judge's eye first.
First race at 2 pm.
