Triangular fight for Racing Journalists Trophy

Representational Image

There are nine runners in the field for the Racing Journalists Trophy, the feature event of the penultimate day's seven-race card to be run under the lights. Three of them--Gold Field, Between The Waters and Juno's Guest--demand serious attention.

Gold Field (A Sandesh up) and Juno's Guest (A S Peter up) are serious bidders as both have won their recent races on this track, while Between The Waters (P Trevor up), who was humiliated by King Khalil when the latter shattered the course record for five furlongs, can pose a big threat to the winning duo as he will most likely make amends today. A close verdict is therefore predicted with Gold Field enjoying a very slender edge.
