Horse Racing: Intense Stylist tipped for feature

Saturday's card features the General Rajendrasinhji Million as the prime event which has six three-year-olds in the fray, four of them--Intense Stylist, Excellent Sorrento, Hammersmith and Merlot--having won their last starts

The Royal Western India Turf Club (RWITC) has framed eight races each on both Saturday and Sunday to celebrate the final weekend of the Pune monsoon meeting. Saturday's card features the General Rajendrasinhji Million as the prime event which has six three-year-olds in the fray, four of them--Intense Stylist, Excellent Sorrento, Hammersmith and Merlot--having won their last starts. Despite such classy line up, the first-named, trained by S K Sunderji and to be ridden by S Zervan, will be the most in demand thanks to her two runaway victories on this track. Intense Stylist is expected to justify the favouritism and win the feature event.
