Swift Memories may prevail at Mahalaxmi

The Khushro K Jalnawala Gold Cup for two-year-old maiden horses is the main attraction of Thursday's seven-race card. Ten runners will try their luck in the seven-furlong event, four of them making their debut on Thursday.

Mountain Glory, Indomitable & Swift Memories with one run each to their credit are expected to give a good account of themselves. However, they all will have to be wary of the Pesi Shroff-trained Stromboli, owned by Dr Vijay Mallya and to be ridden by CD Hayes. Swift Memories gets my vote.

Oh Calcutta may be able to humble Misschevious Trot and Demonstrator in the Aziz Ahmedbhoy Trophy, though neither she nor any other horse on the card inspires confidence as best or good bet. However, if you are itching to bet, you may try your luck with Suzy Wong in the opening race if the odds meet your approval.

First race at 2 pm.
