PUNE: The Royal Western India Turf Club (RWITC) has framed an eight-race card for Saturday with the hope that the rain gods, like rail birds here, will prefer to take rest on Friday night. The Strengthtostrength trophy, in which only four runners will face the starter, is slated as the feature event of the day.

Of the four, it looks like B Fifty Two & Heather will be concerned in a close finish at the end of the 2,000-meter trip, and vie for the judge's eye. As B Fifty Two's only loss in last five runs was at the hands of Indian Derby winner Desert God, I expect him to prevail over Heather.
