KARACHI, Nov 25: Three-year-old bay colt, Captain Black, who was unimpressive in the last run failing to finish on the board, is fancied to make amends in the Shah Mardan Shah Pir Pagara Double Birthday Cup at the Karachi Racecourse on Sunday.

He is drawn in a field of 12 contestants barring last minute withdrawl in the seven furlongs event which is a term race for three-year-old Pakistani and upward horses.

His likely challengers are three-year-old bay colt The Arab and chestnut Reyan King. However, Captain Black enjoys advantage on handicap and tipped to oblige punters.

A card of eight races has been drawn for the day. The first race of the programme begins at 12.00noon.

Four-year-old chestnut filly, Patricia, is on course to complete hat-trick by overcoming the opponent’s in the six furlongs race. She should be chased by bay colt Dubawi and chestnut Sindh Malook.

If tried by connection, three-year-old dark bay filly Stormy Kiss from the stables of Haji Khuda Bux Rajar should stun rivals by claiming the six furlong concluding event.

In her quest to triumph, she should have to overcome the challenge from bay colts Paidagir who had two wins under his belt and Harry Potter.

Three-year-old bay filly, Miss Milee, is fancied to stretch her winning run by grabbing the class VII top division race. She gets tough opposition from filly Sky Girl and bay colt Jack In The Box.

Drawn alongside 14 aspirants, five-year-old chestnut Champion Express is favourite to oblige the race goers by getting the better of rivals. He is likely to be followed by filly Juliat and bay colt Lucky Leader.

Syed Ali Gohar Shah’s bay filly Jet Zone and five-year-old bay Canon Ball are fancied to land the opening two races while Azam The Great should make it two on trot by picking up the third.
