Calcutta, July 27 :
Heavily favoured by the terms of the race, Pentire may win tomorrow?s feature, the Prince Blossom Cup.
Although, the Bharath Singh-trainee has been kept off the fast-work since his impressive third, despite looking heavy, the benefit of the run is sure to work to his advantage. However, If the six-year-old fails, a fitter and up-coming four-year-old, Freedom Dancer from brother Vijay?s yard, and Tanganyika who is going great guns in his work outs, may be there to exploit the situation.
