Synthesis (Speaking Of Which - Sana), the three-year-old colt trained by the Bangalore-based trainer Rajesh Narredu, is in the fray for the HPSL Indian 2000 Guineas (Gr 1), the feature event of Sunday's eight-race Mahalaxmi card. Racing too often (3 races in 5 weeks) since debut in June this year perhaps didn't go too well with him during the summer campaign. However, now well-rested after his last victory at Hyderabad in October, he may prove a hard nut to crack for the local colts like Christofle, Enabler, etc. Suraj Narredu will partner Synthesis.
First race at 1.30 pm.
