LAHORE, Jan 30 Four-year-old bay colt Mountain Lion, who was beaten to second place in his previous outing, should make amends and win the Sialkot Cup during the 22nd Lahore Winter Meeting at the Racecourse on Sunday.

This will be the feature and the sixth race of the seven-event card and a class IV division I, II and III combined in handicap to be gone over 1,600 metres.

Of the six contestants in the field, Mountain Lion and Daud Princess look good on recent form and performance in races during the ongoing winter meetings.

Trained by Tauqir Ahmed, Mountain Lion had won a race over 1,600 metres, which testifies his ability to stay over the middle distance. His five rivals are yet to prove their credentials that they can stay over the distance

On bloodline bay colt Millions in Mind, an arrival from Karachi, and Daud Princess, a daughter of Admiral's Way, are capable of winning.

The supporting and fifth race, the Ravi Cup over 1,300 metres has nine runners. Of them three look on chance - Deedawar, Dear Creek and High Jet. They should fight it out, most probably in the same order.

The second supporting and seventh event, the Ravi Plate, class V division II to be contested over 1,300 metres has 16 runners. Of them only two are real contenders while the rest are just pretenders. They are four-year-old bay filly Gul-e-Rukh and dark-bay colt Chapter One.

The former has to her credit a facile victory and will be on the trot to make it two wins in-a-row while Chapter One will be going to open up a new chapter in equine sports book for his fine pedigree from the lineage of Academy Award, a descendant of Royal Academy and Nijinsky.

The opener, the Kasur Plate class VI division III & IV to be contested over 1100 metres, has eight runners. Chaudhry Mohammad Afzal-owned Love Affair is a pedigreed animal but not yet tried.

Filly Laser Light is an inconsistent performer while mare Sweet Lady is capable of upsetting the odds. She is owned by S.P. John who has a great appetite to see his horses occupying the winner's box.

The second, third and fourth events, are mostly subscribed by runners opening their debut or those yet unplaced with few exceptions. In these events the rider, the draw and the stable backing will count much.

Four races will be contested over the sprinting distance of 1,100 metres, two over 1,300 metres and one over 1,600 metres.

The first race will start at 12.30pm.
