Barring Emerald Valley who would have enjoyed a shorter trip, all the other four — Sumo, Zakynthos, Step Up and Mon Ami — are very competitively placed at the scales, and it is the last-named, who enjoys a useful combination of bottom weight and top jockey (A Sandesh), who is expected to prevail at the judge’s end.

Zoom Zoom and Mt Tianmen shape as bettable propositions in their respective races, and may be supported if the odds are agreeable.

First race at 1.30 pm.
