Crazy Cat Lady favourite for opening race today

LAHORE: Six races of the Fantastic Plate in class VI (two races) and four in class VII are going to be held at the Lahore Race Club on Sunday.

Except for the fifth and sixth races, which are of 1000 and 1200 metres respectively, the others four are of 900 metres. Though each race has its own significance but with the length of distance and the field of one of the best horses, the last two races are being considered as the races to watch.

All the six races are of different divisions but the first four have a field of 18 horses each while the fifth and sixth have 15 and 10 participants respectively.

Looking at the field of competition, Crazy Cat Lady is the favourite in the opening race. It will have trouble facing Dance of Life, which is expected to take the second place while a superlative performance might come from Dimple.

The second race of division-V A is expected to end in favour of Sweet Miracle but this Prince of Dubai has the ability to switch places. However, Desert Rain may surprise the favourites.

The third race which is for division-IV has eyes on Uzair Prince for a win with second place expected to go to Mastan Queen while Tiger Jutt may play a spoiler’s role.

The fourth race is of division-II and III and it has Golra Pride as the favourite. Punjabi Mundais believed to be taking the second place but Baa Waqar might pushed them aside.

The fifth race of class-VI and division –I has Gondol Prince as the favourite with Spare Parts is expected to win the place while Abdullah Princess may stage an upset.

The final race of class-VI and division –I, II, III and IV is of 1200 meters and in a field of 10 horses Carry On Jutta is believed to be the best pony from among the lot. However, one cannot count Bajwa Choice out of contention with having high expectations from Hassan Prince.
