The Ikhtyar - Rahy's Serenade three year old gelding Franklin, trained by Pesi Shroff & to be ridden by S Zervan, has had an excellent mock race on the concluding day of the Pune racing sesaon, and on the strength of that show he looks a cinch for the Beti by Gitanjali Maiden Mile, the feature event of Sunday's eight-race card slated at Mahalaxmi.
Another Pesi Shroff trainee, Montezuma, a fluent winner on debut who wasu00a0later gelded, is tipped to win the H M Mehta Trophy, while Black Magic u00a0Woman, trained by Cooji Katrak and to be ridden by Sandesh, looks capableu00a0of shocking more fancied rivals despite a long lay off over four months in
