Mumbai Race 5

Ramniwas Ramnarain Ruia Gold Cup (Grade 3)

Prize Money: $28,259

SHAMBALA (4) last appeared three weeks ago when he was beaten 3 lengths into second over 1600m at this track. Should hold the small field at bay. GOLDEN THUNDER (1) is down in grade after finishing 10 lengths away in fifth over 1600m in Group 1 grade at this track three weeks ago. That effort came after he finished third two starts ago at this track. Can play a big role in the finish. ODYSSEUS (2) is in great form, lifting strongly to score last start over 2000m at this track to make it two in a row. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Will give backers a great sight. SCARAMOUCHE (3) was well in the market but raced below best when a 5 length sixth at this track last time. Rates well and worth including among the main hopes.
