Iron Age, the Imtiaz Sait-trained speed ball who shattered the Mumbai course record for five furlongs when he won the Sir Homi Mehta Sprint Challenge (Gr 3) seven weeks ago, now chooses to run in the Dr S C Jain Sprinters' Championship (Gr 2), the feature event of Sunday's eight-race card. He has to contend with four rivals today, of which, he had beaten three during that run, albeit over the shortest scurry of five furlongs.

Though, technically, Iron Age is today better placed with respect to Intense Stylist (runner up on that occasion) at the scales, the extended trip distance (1,200m) could be a cause for concern. Because Intense Stylist, despite a 4 kg disadvantage, can get stronger at the finish due to his running style.
