Seven three-year-olds, three of them fillies, will face the starter for the Gr 3, S A Poonawalla Million, the feature event of Sunday's seven-race card. Interestingly, the fact that five of them have won their last race on this racetrack this season highlights the extreme competitiveness of this contest.
I expect Hall Of Grace (trained by Adhirajsingh and to be ridden by PS Chouhan) to catch the judge's eye first at the end of the mile trip. Enabler and Misty should follow her home.
First race at 2 pm.
Selections:
Great Secret Plate - Div II (For 4y&o. class V; 1200m)
Bomber 1, Arbitrage 2, Nairobi 3.
