Astapi for Eve Champion Trophy

The Sanjay Kolse-trained Blingu00a0will be strongly fancied, but I think Astapi, who is bidding for a hat-trick over today'su00a0trip of ten furlongs, has better credentials to land the spoils. The older Native Knightu00a0can also add pep to the finish.

First race at 1 pm.
