Between The Waters for R J Kolah Cup

Representational picture

Being the only cup event in a card of six races, the R J Kolah Cup chooses itself as the feature event of Thursday's Mahalaxmi card. Eight runners will face the starter in the five-furlong sprint reserved for class III horses. Going by the current form Between The Waters, trained by S K Sunderji and to be ridden by Trevor Patel, appears to have a slight edge. The Deepesh Narredu-trained King Khalil, on whom rookie rider A S Peter is expected to claim five kg allowance, should follow him home.

First race at 3.45 pm.
