A major attraction of today's seven-race card will be the mid-day Trophy, which will be run under the lights at 7pm on the Mahalaxmi racetrack. Eight runners will line up for the prestigious event, and with five of them having already won over this trip (1000m), they obviously shape as strong contenders.

While I cannot dispute the fact that going purely by past form, Lord Commander (A Sandesh up) and Highland Empress (PS Chouhan up) look like having the best credentials to land the spoils, I would like to make a case for a horse who has yet to win a race - the SK Sunderji-trained Chosen One.
