Horse Racing: Clymene attracts as best bet

Representational Image

Clymene, trained by Faisal Abbas and to be ridden by A Sandesh, is one of the eight runners in the K M Munshi Trophy, a five-furlong sprint for class II horses. The Western Aristocrat - Magdalena four-year-old filly has won all her three starts over this trip, and is expected to dominate the proceedings right from the word go.

Despite the presence of some quality sprinters like Shamwari, Wild Fire and Double Nine, Clymene attracts as the best betting proposition of the eight-race Sunday card, because she simply towers over her rivals both in terms of the dynamic class and rating.

First race at 2.30 pm.
