LAHORE, March 2: If every thing goes her way, four-year-old bay filly Royal Soul can make amends for her last defeat by winning feature event of the 21st Lahore Winter Meeting at the Racecourse Sunday.
Royal Soul is from Al trui-out-of-Annabelle and is contesting in the sixth and last race of the afternoon being run over seven furlongs. Larkana Plate, is a class IV and V combined handicap race in which 15 runners are expected to take part.
Royal Soul has already won five races during the current Lahore season but was unlucky to be placed third in her last outing last Sunday.
Dark-bay colt King Fisher is likely to give Royal Soul some fight. He has also won five races during the on-going season. The bay mare Run Way Lady, who is a consistent performer, should also finish on board.
Fine performances shown by Royal Soul and King Fisher have made them the pick of the 15-strong field.
Four-year-old bay colt Real Quit looks to be the strongest candidate to win third race of the afternoon, The Chakwal Plate, class VII division III & IV combined event to be run over the sprinting distance of six furlongs.
This colt from Al trui-out-of-Water Girl, registered a facile win last Sunday
