The Dallas Todywalla-trained Wild Torronaado who has been knocking at the doors for too long finally finds in a set of rivals, which she should be able to tackle in the hands of jockey B Prakash. The five-year-old mare is tipped to win the Edgar DeSylva Trophy, the feature event of Thursday's nine-race card from Swept Away and Sepia Tone.u00a0
As best bet of the afternoon, I nominate Grand Warrior, trained by Mansoor Shah and to be ridden by Suraj Narredu, who looks capable of emerging victorious in a crowded field of 15 runners, the Alvarita Plate for class IV horses.
Look out for horses trained by Narendra Lagad and Hormuz Antia as some of them may try to carry a gamble at lucrative odds.
First race at 1.30 pm.
