The Arif Wala Plate for Class VII Division IV & V combined race, will be run over the sprinting distance of five furlongs and will be the sixth and last event of the day.
This feature event has a big field of 16 runners, if there are no last-minute withdrawals.
Besides the bay filly Lucky Credit Queen, the chestnut colt Unbeatable, another chestnut Mon Soon and the bay gelding Burq Raftar, are the other good speedsters who are in the reckoning.
