Son Of A Gun gets another chance to win the Royal Calcutta Turf Club (RCTC) Cup, the feature event of the Sunday card. The Narendra Lagad-trained colt had won the same race on the opening day, but could not keep it on account of a false start. In the hands of Mustakim Alam, he shapes as the best bet of the afternoon.

First race at 2 pm.
