Santissimo, resurfacing after nine months, will have to be at his best to emerge triumphant
Representational Image
Six runners are in the fray for the A C Ardeshir Trophy (Gr 3), the feature event of Sunday's small, six-race card. The top two contenders, Santissimo and Psychic Star, are both from Pesi Shroff's yard; and while Psychic Star has kept herself busy by racing thrice during the Pune season, Santissimo has stayed indoors for nine months. It will be interesting to watch who between the two performs better on Sunday, especially as others in the race can complicate the pace equation of the race. My choice is Santissimo.
First race at 2.30 pm.
