Despite facing a field packed with top quality sprinters Ruffina, who narrowly lost in her last start, is expected to make amends, and win the grade 3, Akkasaheb Maharaj Trophy, the feature event of Saturday's six-race card.
With the trip reduced to six furlongs, over which she had tamed her Sprinters' Cup rivals at Kolkata, the Dallas Todywalla-trained four-year-old filly should not only be able turn the tables on her conqueror Timeless at whose hands she had experienced a narrow defeat in last run, but also account for her other speedy rivals like Holy Smoke, Captain Courage and Lincoln.
First race at 2.30 pm.
Selections:
Rosmini Plate (Rated 30-56; 1000m)
Invictus Maneo 1, Locarno 2, Nextstar 3.
