Commodore for PA d'Avoine Trophy

Commodore, who lost a certain race in the hands of foreigner James Doyle over the Derby weekend in February, is expected to make amends in the upper division of the P A d'Avoine Trophy. The Pesi Shroff-trained four-year-old, to be ridden by Trevor Patel, is facing a moderate class IV field, and therefore, attracts as the best betting proposition of the afternoon.

First race at 1.45 pm.
