Having won at this class level and trip, Silver Flames (P Trevor up) is the horse that may attract most of the betting money. But I feel Mystic Bay, trained by Malesh Narredu and to be ridden by CS Jodha, may be able to exploit the 7 kg pull in weights and pose danger to him.

The Byramjee Jeejeebhoy Trophy, a six-furlong sprint for Class I horses, is the feature event of today's eight-race card at the Mahalalaxmi racetrack. Though there are only six runners in the fray, the race may culminate in a very thrilling finish as at least three horses—Gazino, Silver Flames and Mystic Bay—appear to be very closely matched. Having won at this class level and trip, Silver Flames (P Trevor up) is the horse that may attract most of the betting money. But I feel Mystic Bay, trained by Malesh Narredu and to be ridden by CS Jodha, may be able to exploit the 7 kg pull in weights and pose danger to him.
