Costa Brava for Rajpipla Trophy

Representative picture

Friday's evening race card at Mahalaxmi offers seven races, the prime event being the Rajpipla Trophy for class I horses, scheduled as the fourth race to be run at 6.30 pm.

There are only five runners in the fray for the seven-furlong event, and the best of them appears to be Costa Brava who should be able to go one better this time after losing to New England in last start exactly a month ago. Costa Brava is trained by Pesi Shroff and will be ridden by Trevor Patel.

First race at 4.45 pm.
