Trainer Shroff holds key to feature event

There are only three runners in the fray for the JP Vajifdar Trophy, a Class II race slated as the feature event of Thursday's seven race card at the Mahalaxmi racetrack, and two of them come from the yard of trainer Pesi Shroff: Bold Legend ( K Bhagat up) & Northern Lights (PS Chouhan up).

The third runner, Magistero (Bhawani Singh up) is unlikely to pose any threat to the Shroff-trained duo as he is completely out of form. However, it could be a close affair between Bold Legend and Northern Lights though. My choice is Northern Lights.
