Wise Child may break the jinx
The M K Jadhav-trained Wise Child, a winner on debut two years ago, has not been able to taste the success again in last eight runs despite being fancied on occasions. However, the Excellent Art - Elena four-year-old finally has a slender edge over his rivals in the other important race on the card, Merint Dubai Million. In the hands of apprentice K Nazil, Wise Child may be able to shock more fancied rivals like Gallant Knight (A Imran Khan up) and Princess P (P Trevor up).


Difficult to look beyond Ruffina
Despite facing a top class field in the Pune Bookmakers' Association Turf Club Trophy (Gr 3), the prime attraction of the Sunday card, Ruffina may not have to work up sweat to beat her seven rivals. The minor placings may be contested by Your Royal Majesty, Timeless, New England and Holy Smoke.
