PUNE: The Pesi Shroff-trained Chagall and the PS Chouhan-trained Break Point appear to be very closely matched at the scales in the Dinkoo N Chenoy Salver, a Class I contest over the trip of a mile, which is slated as the feature event of Saturday's eight-race card at Pune. They are expected to finish one-two, but not before a neck-and-neck fight which may give their followers anxious moments. Shambala, another top class horse in the fray, may add pep to the finish.
First race at 1.30 pm.
