The day opens with the Vidurashwatha Plate (Div II), a sprint over 1200 metres for Class III contenders. AGAPE under jockey K. Sai Kiran for trainer Azhar Ali looks to make an early impact, while AGRIMA from M. Eshwer’s yard seeks consistency. The well-bred HIGGS BOSON (Angad/V. Narayana Gowda) brings an element of intrigue, and TYAARAA (Mukesh Kumar/Faraz Arshad) adds strength to the field.

The Shimsha Plate follows, a lower division event that often produces a breakthrough winner. ASSURANCES (Suraj Narredu/Rajesh Narredu) commands attention with strong bloodlines. COUNT BASIE (Angad/Sriram Komandur) and QUEEN MAXIMA (Pavan/Md Sajid Qureshi) are reliable types over the trip. TURKOMAN (J. Chinoy/Imtiaz Khan) has shown promise, while SHOCK AND AWE (Darshan R.N/Neil B. Devaney) might deliver late.

Middle-distance enthusiasts will enjoy the Hogenakkal Falls Plate, a mile-long test of class and stamina. The dual entry from Darius Byramji’s stable — CHOTIPARI (Laxman Singh) and ADORNMENT (Antony Raj S.) — shapes this as a stable affair, though LARISSA (P. Trevor/S.S. Attaollahi) stands out on recent performance. ADELANTO (Angad/Sriram Komandur) and LARSON (V.R. Jagadeesh/Md Sajid Qureshi) look poised for bold runs, while FOREVER ROYAL (G. Praveen/V.

Shoban Babu) and EL ALAMEIN (Pavan/Faraz Arshad) have shown flashes of past brilliance, while SUNDANCE KID and GANDOLFINI, both from K. Purshotham’s yard, represent solid double-handed interest. MASTER WAY (Asirvatham/Umar Shariff S.) could emerge as a dark horse, with ELVEDEN (Antony Raj S./Arjun Mangalorkar) expected to close strongly.

Speed and precision define the fifth race. AQUAMATIC (Asirvatham/Azhar Ali) looks ready to strike form, while FLIGHT ON (Mukesh Kumar/Prasanna Kumar) will attract betting interest. DYNAMIC FORCE (J. Chinoy/Joseph B. Awale) and SMALL DREAMS (Aleemuddin/Vishesh M.P.) bring momentum into the contest. The stylish FELISA (Pavan/Irfan Ghatala) could make a late dash, and BAASHHA (S. Sachin/Joseph B. Awale) rounds off a tightly handicapped field.
