A bumper 12-race card is framed for the Casino Royale Indian 2000 Guineas (Grade 1) day at the Mahalaxmi racetrack. Of the 14 runners in the fray, Star Future, Immense, Ocean And Beyond and Macchupicchu are likely to be in the forefront of betting. I think it will be Star Future trained by Cooji Katrak.First race at 12 noon.
