Magnolia and Mikayla, both to be ridden by P Trevor, should be able to win their respective races, and accordingly shape as good and chance bets of the card respectively
Trainer Suleiman Attaollahi has brought in Azzuro from Bangalore to take a shot at the rich purse of the Idar Gold Trophy (Gr 3) which is slated as the feature event of Sunday's eight-race card. The five year old gelding who has won twice over the trip of mile and a half this year, and finished second or third to the INdian Derby & Invitation Cup winner Desert God on other occasions, faces four local rivals among which Coomodore, The Unicorn and B Fifty Two have also won their recent starts on this track. However, I expect Azzuro to win the race from Commmodore
