Pune: Valegro, who let down a large following three weeks ago when his start-to-finish bid for the J E Hughes Trophy failed close home, may again start as favourite for the Rajaram Chhatrapati Trophy, the feature event of Saturday's six-race card.

However, now with the benefit of a run, the Pesi Shroff-trained four-year-old colt is expected to make amends and win the prime event.
