All traditional handicapping factors suggest that Dyf, from the yard of Adhirajsingh, will be difficult to beat in the Maharaja Sir Jivajirao Scindia Trophy (Gr 3), the feature event of Sunday's eight-race card at the Mahalaxmi racetrack. However, the M K Jadhav-trained Mojito, whose last run was definitely much better than it looked to the naked eye, must be considered a live threat to Dyf, and with little luck, may be the first to pass the wire.
First race at 1.30 pm.
