Uncle Scrooge needs to tackle Shooting Star

Gold Bag faces uphill task against formidable rivals

Pune: The Adhirajsingh Jodha-trained Gold Bag, who has reeled off five races in a row including a hat-trick on this track, finally faces an uphill task as the four year old filly takes on a specialist sprinter field from the top class over her pet trip of six furlongs. It doesn't help her cause at all that she will be ridden by a five-kg claiming rookie rider in Daman Singh, and may find herself overwhelmed opposite the judge as Ladybird, Providence, Victorious March, Visionist and Polished Chrome will attempt to go full-throttle in the final lap of the Delhi Race Club Trophy, the prime event of Saturday's bumper ten-race card.


While I would never advise a bet in this race, indications are the eventual winner may emerge from the trio of Ladybird, Providence and Victorian March. The first-named, with advantage of a lung opener and assistance from Trevor Patel, is my choice.


One horse for whom I have been waiting for is three-year-old Uncle Scrooge, and despite the presence of the Pesi Shroff-trained first-timer Shooting Star in the fray, my money will most likely ride on Uncle Scrooge in the upper division of the Classical Act Plate. The MK Jadhav trainee has done a class IV+ rating on debut, and is expected to return to the winner's enclosure unless Shooting Star is in the Classic mould.
