KARACHI, Oct 2: Three-year-old bay filly Taiz Per who has shown consistent form in her recent outings should make it two-in-a-row by sprinting to glory in the Gymkhana race meeting at Karachi Racecourse on Wednesday.

After finishing second twice she reigned supreme galloping to splendid eight lengths victory over Vice Admiral in the last run with Ghulam Shabbir II astride.

Taking her current performance into consideration she starts as our day’s best and likely to dominate the fifth race.

Colt Red Rufus and filly Leopard Of Arab should battle it out for places among seven contenders barring last minute withdrawls.

A card of six races has been drawn for the day. The first race gets into action at 12.00noon. This will be the last race to be held in the month of Ramazan.

With a hat-trick under her belt, Sahibzadi, a three-year-old chestnut filly, look certain to stretch her winning run should she claim feature event, the last race of the programme.

Her feat has put Sahibzadi head and shoulder above rivals and if every thing goes smooth she is tipped to oblige punters with yet another win.

Sharp Cat and Kat Mandu comes in the reckoning for places in a field of eight aspirants.

If allowed to run on merit, nine-year-old bay Trust Again should make amends by crossing the finishing post ahead of opponent’s to win his maiden race. He is drawn alongside 14 runners barring withdrawls.

He settled for second spot after being beaten by filly Sweetie Pie last weekend. He should be followed by Dr. Dre and Arabian Butter Fly.

Ten-year-old bay Raaz is our fancy for the opener while mare Silent Love who was withdrawn before the last outing should atone to previous loss in the next race. Mare Sweet Grandy should pick up spoils in the third race.
