The Kingfisher Ultra Pune Derby, the plum event of the Pune season which has attracted a field of 14 runners, will feature as stellar attraction of today's nine-race card. Pure Zinc, who excelled when coming out of lay-off to win the SA Poonawalla Million on this track one month ago, will be the cynosure of all eyes, and will most likely be the popular choice. Pure Zinc is trained by Adhirajsingh Jodha and will be ridden by A Imran Khan. Among his prominent rivals are Themis (Imran Chisty up), Perfect Star (S John up) and Lady In Lace (Suraj Narredu up), the last-named pitched in with a late entry fee by her Hyderabad-based trainer KSV Prasad Raju.
