It looks likely that most of the betting money in the grade 3, Eve Champion Trophy, the feature event of Saturday's eight-race card, may ride on An Acquired Taste, the Altamash Ahmed-trained four-year-old.
He will be ridden by A Sandesh who seems to have struck a purple patch after a tentative start to the monsoon season.u00a0However, Master Shifu, though he ran pathetically in the Bangalore St Leger, should not be completely written off because just before that show.
First race at 2 pm.
