Hachiko bidding for a hat-trick

Four year old Hachiko, who has struck brilliant form as evidenced by his last two back-to-back victories, is conceding weight to his rivals which include other forward four-year-olds like Blue Ace, Manyatta & Hemisphere, besides the older Amadeus carrying the same silks as Hachiko.u00a0

It surely is not going to be an armchair ride for jockey A Sandesh astride the MK Jadhav trainee, but the fact cannot be denied that he has the best credentials and form to emerge victorious at the end of the mile trip, though it may out to be a very close finish.

A duel is expected between Cyclops & Bright Lady in the J D & Peggy Banatwalla Trophy, another prime event of the card. The first-named is my choice.
