Dancing Prances for F D Wadia Trophy

At first glance, it looks like a match race between Altaf Hussain-trained Dancing Prances & Pesi Shroff-trained Mariinksy. However, a closer look at the Malesh Narredu-trained Hawker, who recently won on her debut in amazing style, makes me feel that perhaps this could turn out to be a triangular fight, with Dancing Prances having a slender edge over the other two.

Senora Bella, who had won her first two career starts before losing her way in the Poonawalla Breeders' Multi-Million at Mahalaxmi, is expected to make amends and lift the Governor's Gold Cup, the supporting event of the card. The Pesi Shroff trainee to be ridden by P Trevor attracts as the best betting proposition of the afternoon.

First race at 1.30 pm.
