Christmas Eve, carrying Dr MAM Ramaswamy's silks and trained by G Karthik, is tipped for the Forbes India Trophy, the main event of Sunday's eight-race card programmed at the Mahalaxmi racetrack. She towers over all her rivals with experience, and may have to only keep an eye on first-timer Magnificence (P Trevor up) who is most likely to follow her home.

First race 2.45 pm.
