Juventus for Turf Club Trophy

The McDowell Signature Turf Club Trophy (grade 3) is slated as the feature event of Sunday's nine-race card at Pune, and a field of 16 top class runners will face the starter. Forest Flair, Arts, Astaral Flash & Juventus have better credentials than the rest, and I expect the last-named to emerge triumphant at the all-important end.

Amouresque, owned by the Nandas and trained by Cooji Katrak, shapes as the best betting proposition of the afternoon and should win the August Handicap for class IV horses. Cambiasso (Air Dash Plate) & Appalina (upper division of the Goodness Gracious Plate) attract as two other decent bets worth your money.
