LAHORE, Aug 5: If every thing goes her way, Ferrari should make amends by winning the feature event when the day and night Lahore Summer Meeting goes underway at the Racecourse on Sunday.
In all, nine acceptors are to contest in the Chicha Watni Plate, a class IV division II and III handicap race to be gone over the sprinting distance of 1000 metres.
The three-year-old filly from Cisco Wells, Ferrari, was beaten on her last outing on April 30. She should now pick up the spoils and avenge her defeat.
Her rivals could be top racers including Harry Can View, Safe and Sound and Druree in the same order. This will be the fifth and last race of the day.
The fourth and supporting event, the Okara Plate, class V division I to be contested over 1000 metres has 15 runners barring last-minute withdrawals.
The four-year-old filly, Daisy Against All, who is in top form at present should have the better of them all and win the race. Puma Princess and Top Figure are the next best in line.
The third race has the largest field comprising 16 runners, if they make it all. It looks an open affair.
The competitors are Jewna, Hallow Dancer, Ministry and the Scarlet Empress.
On form Jewna has a slight edge over the others.
Redouble, Bone Crusher, Sundri and Al Murad attract attention in the second race. Al Murad is tracking very well and looks the best among the quartet.
Wah Cisco Wah, Raad, and Bahar-I-Bhakkar are the speedy animals in the opener. They should finish in the same order provided they have good riders.
A small card comprising five races has been drawn for Sunday's meeting. Two races will be contested over 800 metres and three over 1000 metres.
The first race will be held at 6.00pm.
