Pune: Though only six runners are in the fray for the prestigious S A Poonawalla Multi-Million (Gr 2), what lacks in quantity is more than made up in terms of quality and competitiveness all the six runners, without exception, have been impressive last-outing winners.

The top two contenders, according to my Dynamic Ratings, are the Pesi Shroff-trained Continental and the Imtiaz Sait-trained Airco, both running in the silks of horse owner Shapoorji Pallanji Mistry. The danger to them may come from Bold Appeal, an impressive last outing winner trained by Karthik G.
