Pune: A small field of five class I runners will face the starter for the Southern Command Gold Trophy, the feature event of Sunday's eight-race card. Congressional, who went to threaten Dancing Prances in last start over a trip that was not exactly his best trip, now returns to 1400 meters, and is expected to run a big race. He is tipped to win the event from Strategic Move, with Rule Downunder as dark horse who can upset the apple-cart of fancied runners.
First race at 1.30 pm.
