Set Alight scares away rivals

Queen filly Set Alight, by Razeen out of Set Aside, makes her first appearance this season at the Mahalaxmi racetrack in the Maharaja Of Morvi Trophy, the feature event of Saturday's nine-race card. The awe-inspiring performer trained by Pesi Shroff has scared away all rivals bar two, and true to reputation, she is expected to win in a common canter.

Two other Classic hopefuls Red Romeo and Antonios, who may later clash for the Indian 2000 Guineas if Set Alight mercifully chooses to skip the male territory, are expected to win their respective prep races--the RCTC trophy and Rahimtoola Chinoy Trophy.

First race at 1.30 pm.
