The Pesi Shroff-trained Madagascar, who posted a sensational victory on debut when he displayed incredible acceleration, is tipped to win the J D &amp; Peggy Banatwala Cup, the feature event of Sunday's seven-race evening card.
Though the Phoenix Tower - Taralaya three-year-old is switching from six furlongs to mile, his style of running indicates that he will relish the longer trip more, and should not have any stamina issues. He will have to, however, be wary of stablemate Merlin (P Trevor up) who is now going out with an equipment change (Tongue Strap on), and the Vishal Gaikwad-trained Patriots Day (A Sandesh up) who has been putting in some decent spurts on the trial track.
First race at 5 pm. Selections:
J D &amp; Peggy Banatwalla Cup (For 3y; 1600m) Madagascar 1, Merlin 2, Patriots Day 3.
