Calcutta: Trainer Bharath Singh's two in a row winner, Sangfroid (Trevor Patel-up) is fancied to win the 1,400m Acorn Stakes, the feature event at the races, here, on Saturday.
The Verenar daughter may, however, face some challenge from Vijay Singh's equally promsing filly, Avarua (Imran Chisty), and Raunak Banerji's Danceress (C. Alford) who was a threatening second to Sangfroid in their last clash. The extended trip is likely to favour the Sangfroid, aspiring to notch up a hattrick of wins.
Bharath's another baby, Gryffindor, is also fancied to win the 1,400m Artwork Plate.
