One rarely comes across a race where virtually every runner has a fair chance to land the winner's prize. One such race is the Royal Calcutta Turf Club Cup, the feature event of Thursday's seven-race card.


Each of the seven runners in the fray, from the top-weighted Mystic Bay to the bottom-weighted Golden Guest, has something going for him or her to hope for victory. I expect a vast improvement in the form of Silver Flames, trained by Altaf Hussain and to be ridden by A Imran Khan, and therefore nominate him as the first choice.
