The Pesi Shroff-trained Enigma, despite conceding weight to all her rivals, looks capable of giving them a beating in the Akkasaheb Maharaj Trophy, the feature event of Sunday’s eight-race card.
Jockey PS Chouhan, who will ride Enigma, however, will have to closely watch two horses—Iron Age (A Sandesh up), a game sprinter who relishes the Pune monsoon strip, and Joaquin (S Zervan up), who posted a brilliant victory on the opening day and is as fit as a fiddle.
