Calcutta: Trainers Manvendra Singh’s five-year-old mare, Arabica, and Javed Khan’s, Rising Power, are expected to fight out the issue in the 1,200m Oakmead Cup, Tuesday’s feature event. However, what may tilt the scale in favour of Arabica is 1,200m journey which the Burden Of Proof daughter is known to relish while Rising Power may find the trip a trifle taxing. P. Kamlesh partners Arabica.
