The four-year-old filly Kavya is the standout contender heading into Friday’s (Oct. 2) racing programme. Coming off a convincing performance in her most recent start, she is widely tipped to secure an encore victory in the Threptin Fillies’ & Mares’ Stakes, which serves as the feature event of the day. The Grade 3 contest, covering 1,800 metres, headlines a competitive afternoon of racing, with officials confirming that rail positions will be finalised one hour prior to the opening race.

While the feature event draws the most attention, the seven-race card offers a variety of challenges for trainers and jockeys alike. The day begins with the Aster Rose Plate, a 1,400-metre sprint for horses aged five and older, where Remy Red, Mila, and Etoile are expected to lead the charge. The action continues with the Auburn Plate, a maiden event for three-year-olds, followed by the October Handicap and the Greuzi Plate, providing a full afternoon of thoroughbred competition.
