Fynbos for Indian 1000 Guineas (Gr 1) 

It's a pity Fynbos is deprived of the chance to match strides with the best fillies from down south (read Ravishing Beauty and Indian Brocade), because the Royal Western India Turf Club (RWITC), understandably, wanted to play safe with the Glanders scare in the air. The fact that one Bangalore sample has come positive for the dreaded disease stamps the precautionary move as wise.

 

Be that as it may, Fynbos is expected to assert her supremacy in the 1000 Guineas (Gr 1), the feature event of Sunday's small, six-race card. Kings Gambit and Kavya are expected to fight for the runner up berth.

 

First race at 2.30 pm.
