There is a strong likelihood that the betting for this event will be focused on the young, three-year-old trio of Jimbo, Macedonian & Home Factor
However, the Mansingh Jadhav-trained four-year-old King Julien also has a very good chance of upsetting the favoured trio’s applecart. Trainer Imtiaz Sait, who had a lean Pune season, may find himself in the limelight as all his three runners — Octopaul, Zambezi & Staying Alive — are running with a more-than-average chance to win their respective races. First race at 2 pm.
