Calcutta: Last winter’s 2,000 Guineas winner Network may be hard to down in the 1,200m Hyderabad Race Club Cup on Wednesday. The Twist And Turn-Net Net Net son is no sprint specialist but his superior class will definitely help him overcome the disadvantage. C. Alford partners the Vijay Singh-trained four-year-old.
Far Hope, in the 1,400m Goolagong Cup, is strongly fancied to win. The Tecorno-Save The Future son, from Daniel David’s yard, is looking further improved since his recent victory.
