Only three runners have accepted for the R M Goculdas Gold Cup, the feature event of Sunday's nine-race card at Mahalaxmi. The Cooji Katrak-trained Sea Star, to be ridden by Imran Chisty, should expected to justify the favouritism and post an easy victory, and shapes as the best bet of the card. Another good bet appears to be Blue Thunder in the upper division of the A Geddis Plate, while Apache Indian (V R Menon Plate) and Catalyst (Bejan Bharucha Plate) tempt as chance bets.
First race at 2.30 pm.
