Two three year old horses, trained by arch rivals Pesi Shroff (Tigrio) and Malesh Narredu (Leopard Rock), who posted stylish victories on the Pune racetrack in the opening week will be taking on each other in the grade 3, F D Wadia Trophy, the feature event of Sunday's eight-race card. They will have another winner locking horns with them, the Imtiaz Sait-trained Miss Muffet who, on her debut in February, had thundered onto the scene from nowhere to stun her ten maiden rivals. The triangular fight promises to be very interesting on paper, however, I feel Leopard Rock in the hands of Suraj Narredu should be able to humble Tigrio and Miss Muffet.
First race at 1.30 pm.
