Solomon, trained by Pesi Shroff and to be ridden by Trevor Patel, attracts as the best betting proposition of the Christmas Day card at the Mahalaxmi racecourse. The Vijay Mallya-owned three-year-old is in rousing form at present as evidenced by his last victory, and is expected to humble Zander who appears to be his main rival in the dozen-horse field.

First race at 1.00 pm.
