Oasis Star for Sprinters’, Secret Memory for Stayers’

Hyderabad: Among the 13 runners in the fray for the Deccan Bookmakers Association Sprinters’ Cup, last outing winner Oasis Star is likely to garner the maximum support while Woman On Top and Evatina should add pep to the finish. The day’s other attraction, the Deccan Bookmakers Association Stayers’ Cup, wears an open look with Gentlemans Deal, Maximise, Secret Memory, Azureus and Orochi all running with equally good chances. However Secret Memory appears to have an edge. The eight-race pre-invitation programme will be held here on Saturday (March 1).

There will be no false rails.
