King's Ransom, Dangerous to renew battle in 1000 Guineas

There are eight fillies in the fray for the first Classic of the Mumbai racing season 2022-23, the Betway Indian 1000 Guineas (Gr 1), which is slated as the feature event of Sunday's bumper ten-race card, but all eyes will be on the Pesi Shroff-trained King's Ransom (PS Chouhan up) and Adhirajsingh-trained Dangerous (CS odha up).

The two fillies have finished 1-2 in two of the three encounters they have had, taking turns to beat the other narrowly, the last occasion being the Pune Derby when King's Ransom finished on powerfully to score a half-length victory over Dangerous. Over the mile trip of the 1000 Guineas, the duel will be more interesting and thrilling--to me it looks like a toss of the coin.

First race at 12.30 pm.
