Losing over seven furlongs to Jaandaar, who went on to win the Pune Derby last Sunday, was not a crime; and Lady Scarlet, the Dali - Starlet three-year-old filly now takes fresh guard over her optimum trip of six furlongs.
Lady Scarlet faces only three rivals in the Mayor Baburao Sanas Memorial Million, powered by the SRS Group, the feature event of Sunday's eight race card. Her main rival is Zayyan who, interestingly, has clocked almost identical time over 1200m, when winning his last start on this track. My choice is Lady Scarlet.
First race at 1.30 pm.
