Zuccarelli for Scindia Trophy

The Karthik-trained Juliette (CS Jodha up), who had lost her winning edge, has taken her time to get fitter

All eyes will be on Zuccarelli and Juliette in the Maharaja Jiwajirao Scindia Trophy (Gr 3), the feature event of Sunday's eight-race card. The Karthik-trained Juliette (CS Jodha up), who had lost her winning edge, has taken her time to get fitter, and this race should tell us how she measures up against the younger Zuccarelli, trained by Pesi Shroff and to be ridden by P Trevor, who is presently in excellent shape. I expect Zuccarelli to continue his winning spree.

First race at 1.30 pm.
