Calcutta: Trainer Vijay Singh means business in Wednesday’s race card. The champion trainer has three potential performers, including Aleksei who could open his season’s account. Aleksei takes on four rivals in the feature event, the 1,400m Roubaix Cup.

Aleksei’s Leger-run is best ignored as the Razeen-Remembren son is more comfortable over middle distances. A two-time easy winner over a mile circuit, Aleksei seems to be maintaining his good form and may score in the hands of C.Alford.

The Vijay-Alford combinations may also come good in 1,400m Anticipator Handicap. They have a smart sprinter in Clockwork who is heading for her third straight win. However, the combo’s youngster, Flemenco Star, may have to overcome his weight disadvantage in the Reliable Plate.Read as: Sl. nos, last 4 runs, horse name, trainer, jockey, weight & draw:
