The Aziz A Ahmedbhoy Trophy, for class II horses, is slated as the feature event of Thursday's seven-race card at the Mahalaxmi racetrack, and has attracted only seven runners. Wall Street at the top of the scale and Own Voice at the bottom both run with a realistic chance as does every horse on the scale between them. The race wears such an open look that I have no hesitation in tipping a shocker, Fortunate Son (PP Dhebe up), as first nomination.
First race at 2 pm.
Selections:
D W Reid Plate - Div I (Class V; 1400m)
Fontana 1, Roll The Dice 2. Light Of Life 3.
