Haresh Mehta's Becket, who tamed queen filly Jacqueline in the Indian Turf Invitation Cup three weeks ago, is all set to annex the grade 1 Indian St Leger, the fifth and final Classic of the Mahalaxmi racing season 2009-10. The Padmanabhan-trained four-year-old colt will be facing only four rivals, none of whom can match the champion either in class or on form.
