Beautiful Stranger towers over rivals

Farouq Rattonsey's Beautiful Stranger, the impressive winner of the Poonawalla Breeders' Multi Million has nothing much to tackle in the grade 3, Shapoorji Pallonji Breeders' Juvenile Colts' Championship, the stellar event of Sunday's nine-race card. The championship race for fillies however could turn out to be a close affair with Xisca, Amouresque and Moonlight Romance, all having more or less equal chances.
