Pune: The F D Wadia Trophy (Gr 2) is slated as the feature event of Sunday's nine-race card. Trainer Cooji Katrak has pitched his sparingly raced budding champion Star Warrior, by Razeen out of Starry Scene, who has won both his career starts with utter ease, although over the shortest scurry of five furlongs.

But the manner of his victory gives ample confidence that Star Warrior will be hard to toss over the seven-furlong trip, and is therefore tipped as the best betting proposition of Sunday afternoon.

As good bet, I nominate Forever Young, trained by Imtiaz Sait and to be ridden by B Prakash, whose last run gives hopes of a narrow victory over El Tropico, who may be installed as a piping-hot favourite for the race.
First race at 1 pm.
