Trainer Malesh Narredu's Be Safe, is still the prime favourite to win Saturday's showpiece event, the 2,400m Omkar Indian Turf Invitation Cup. The confidence level of all concerned, about the champion galloper is very high, in view of the perfect track condition.
Originally, scheduled for last Sunday, the the showpiece event was postponed to this day, becaue of last Saturday's unseasonal rain.
"Good horses perform in any conditions" was the trainer's reaction before the postponement.
