Lady Scarlet for F D Wadia Trophy (Gr 3)

Actually, Lady Scarlet's optimum trip is six furlongs, but the Dynamic Class number she generated when winning her first race this season emboldens me to tip her for a seven-furlong trip, the F D Wadia Trophy (Gr 3), which is slated as the feature event of a seven-race Sunday card. Nebula, who had once authoritatively beaten her at Mumbai, will obviously be the rage in betting, as she will be expected to again tame Lady Scarlet over an extended trip, especially, as latter is now placed at a disadvantage of 4 kg at the scales. My advice is to simply leave that kind of math for traditional handicappers, and trust that it will not be easy for Nebula to beat a form horse with such a massive upgrade in the Dynamic Class number.

First race at 1 pm.
