Wild Fire, Southpaw likely to clash for Trainers' Trophy

Representational picture

At least half a dozen in-form sprinters are in the fray among the 11 who have accepted to run in the Trainers' Trophy, the feature event of Saturday's seven-race card. However, the main fight will most likely be a duel between the Narendra Lagad-trained Wild Fire (J Chinoy up) and the Faisal Abbas-trained Southpaw, both of whom will need to keep a close watch on Miss Moneypenny, Juggernaut and Princess P.

Wild Fire, who has finally managed to come down to class III after showing qaulity speed in higher class, is nominated to prevail over Southpaw, whose last victory over the same trip was sensational, in a narrow finish.
