Lying last until the halfway mark of the Winfair247 Eve Champion Trophy (Gr 3), Evaldo trained by Prasanna Kumar put in a sensational gallop in the homestretch to decisively claim the feature event of the Tuesday card. Sandesh astride Evaldo started improving the horse gradually, but no one paid attention to them as the top two market fancies--Dyf and Jendayi--were getting ready for a duel behind front-runners Ruling Dynasty and Third Avenue at that point in time. Soon Dyf (Akhay Kumar up) dashed ahead of Jendayi, but their lead was short-lived as Sandesh urged Evaldo who lengthened his strides to sail away for a decisive victory. 

Villanelle, ridden by C Umesh, bagged the supporting event, the Altaf Hussain Trophy. Villanelle was trained by Pesi Shroff who emerged as the only trainer to win more than once in the card when jockey G Vivek, manoeuvering between horses, powered The Panther for an easy victory in the Parisian Plate.
