A high-quality, trophy-studded card of nine races has been slated for Sunday at Mahalaxmi, the feature event being the grade 2, Dr S C Jain Sprinters' Championship for which 11 top class horses have accepted to run over six furlongs.
The race appears extremely competitive on paper with Amadeus, Ancient Wonder, Nefyn, Star Trainer & Elena likely to be concerned in a close finish at the serious end. My choice is Amadeus.
For the Jagjit Singh Owners' Tribute Million offers rich stakes of Rs 7.35 lakh and is reserved for small owners who do not have a share in more than five horses. Act Of War, the Bezan Chenoy-trained four-year-old to be ridden by Jimmy Fortune, is tipped to win the event.

For the best betting proposition of the afternoon, I nominate Cooji Katrak-trained Starry Eyes who should prove too good for her half a dozen rivals in the Arpan & Arti Million to be run over the trip of seven furlongs.
