Quadrangular fight for feature event

Representation Pic

Of the eight class I horses in the fray for the Highland Rule Trophy, the feature event of Monday's seven-race card at Pune, at least four appear to be prime contenders for the top spot: Market King, Gazino, Mozelle and Baby Bazooka. But it's difficult to predict who among them will catch the judge's eye first. The race, therefore, is best left alone from the betting point of view. My first nomination, however, goes to Market King, trained by SK Sunderji.
