Su O Moto for PRA Independence Million

The ten-furlong contest, traditionally known as the graveyard of favourites, yet again wears an extremely open look. There are 18 horses in the fray for the rich prize of Rs 1.1 million, and my short list includes Su O Moto, Il Moran, Antonius Maximus. Zambezi & Oriental Sapphire.

The first-named, who had a good lung opener less than two weeks ago when he flopped as favourite over a shorter trip, is my choice.

First race at 1.30 pm.
