There only four runners in the fray for the Highland Rule Trophy, a class I affair to be run over 1400 meters which is slated as the feature event of Saturday's seven-race card. However, that does not mean this race will be easy for solution. Because barring seven-year old Papakura trained by S S Shah who is nevertheless very well suited to the trip, all the rest--Ageless, Staristocrat and Few Dollars More--have shown blazing speed and good fitness on this track this season. This will surely turn out to be a very engaging contest, and I think the Malesh Narredu-trained Staristocrat (Yash Narredu up) has a slender edge over Ageless (NS Paramar up)
