Secretive Force, runner to Desert God in the President Of India Gold Cup at Hyderabad last month, has been ambitiously pitched in the fray by the Bangalore-based trainer Darius Byramji, and the four-year-old colt should be regarded as Auburn's main rival. I feel the distance of 2000m may help Secretive Force to humble Auburn despite the home turf advantage being in the latter's favour.
First race at 1.30 pm.
