Only six three-year-olds have accepted to run in the General Rajendrasinhji Million, the feature event at the Pune racetrack on Sunday. However, the contest may still culminate in a thrilling finish as four of them are running with a very real chance for the top prize. They are Amouresque, Beautiful Stranger, Zafayona and Ocean Admiral. Although the race is not recommended for a serious wager, my feeling is that whosoever wants to win will have to beat the Cooji Katrak-trained Amouresque.

Ironically, the three bets I recommend on the eight-race card are the same three horses that I rooted for in their recent last outings, and which let me down. I strongly feel they are likely to put in a redeeming performance this time. Their names are Flaming Arrow, Ijlal and Adams Law. I expect the trio to win their respective races on Sunday.
First race at 1 pm.
