Mumbai: Excellent, appeals the most to win the Seth Ramnath Daga Trophy for Class I, the main event on the 32nd day of the Mumbai meeting to be held, at the Mahalaxmi racecourse, here on Saturday. Coming from stable of Dallas Todywalla, Excellent has been consistent all through his career and has four wins to show from ten outings. However, he is yet to win over the shorter sprint and his victories have come over 1400m and 1600m.
In fact he is going over the 1200m for the first time but that should not be a cause for concern. Excellent is just coming off a fine victory (over 1600m), which was after a rather long gap; so now, having bounced back to winning form, Excellent is well in line to sign off the season on a winning note. The presence of Gazino, Clymene and Excellent Gold should make the race more interesting.
