The feature event has a small field of seven runners. Besides Lucky Mayla, the four-year-old bay colt, Dazzy Gold and the chestnut horse Aya Chandiwala are the other form horses.

The way this son of Dazzler out of dam by Bluemen Mejaz, Lucky Mayla ran third, behind Puma Princess and When Or Where, he should have no difficulty in winning in a field far less in experience and classification he is to face on Sunday.

There are nine contenders in the third and supporting event barring last-minute withdrawals.
