When racing two weeks ago, the Sunderji-trained Trouvaille did not look his best self in the paddock, and was also giving weight to all his rivals. He has been entered yet again in the Homi Mody Trophy, the feature event of Friday's eight-race card over the trip of 2000m.
At a tidy mark of 55 kg now, the Indian Derby runner up is expected to make amends and resume his winning ways in the hands of A Sandesh. Wizard Of Stocks (Neeraj Rawal up) should make the contest interesting, but may have to settle with the runner up berth.
First race at 1.30 pm.
Selections:
Godspeed Plate - Div II (For 5y&o, class IV; 1000m)
Monk 1, Warrior Clan 2, Grand Architect 3.
Fair Always Plate - Div I (For 4y&o, maidens; 1200m)
