Professionals voice their opinions on the Indian Turf Invitation Cup and the Maj. P.K. Mehra Memorial Super Mile Cup:
Suraj Narredu: My mount in the Invitation Cup, Lady In Lace, has worked well and is much fitter than she was last time out; I ride Whomakestherules in the Super Mile but he has to beat Castlebridge, who has immense talent.
P.S. Chouhan: In the Invitation Cup, I ride Mahateji, but it will be hard to beat Lady In Lace.
S.K. Sunderji: Rochester has travelled well from Mumbai, maintains form and will give a good account of himself.
Pesi Shroff: I run two talented females — Manifold and Temerity — in the Invitation Cup. As an older horse, the latter will have to give weight.
Bharath Singh: My ward Castlebridge should run well in the Super Mile. He is fit and ready.
Arti Doctor: In the Invitation Cup my vote goes to Lady In Lace – the course will suit her.
S. Ganapathy: The Invitation Cup is the toughest race of all to win. Hope my ward Star Carnation runs well. She has a good chance to shine.
S. Padmanabhan: The Invitation Cup is between Rochester and Lady In Lace, with Manifold shaping as the danger; in the Super Mile, Mauritania will give a good fight to Castlebridge.
Vijay Singh: The Invitation Cup should fall to Lady In Lace, who probably needed the run in the Indian Derby.
