The Edgar DeSylva Trophy, a six-furlong sprint in which nine quality sprinters will face the starter, is likely to culminate in a thrilling finish at the wire.
And although speedy older horses like Pepito and Joshua will be hoping to cause a flutter, the main tussle may involve the two three-year-old fillies--Maleficent and Another Conquest--saddled by Pesi Shroff and Malesh Narredu respectively. Both are in excellent form, the former winning her last race against class III rivals; the latter fighting out with a far better horse in confiance over a trip that was a furlong longer than she relishes. With Another Conquest returning to her pet trip of six furlongs, it looks like a toss up between the two.
The paddock condition and fitness will obviously hold the key, but going by the raw Dynamic Ratings, Maleficent seems to have a very thin edge over Another Conquest.

The nine-race card appears extremely competitive, and no horse appeals as the best betting proposition. However, there is one horse that may be called a good bet--Dem Sao who, thanks to seeking demotion to the lowest class after having finished on the board in higher class in last start, now faces rather ordinary opposition in the Autumn Blue Plate.
First race at 1.15 pm.
