What the professionals say

Mumbai: The following professionals voiced their opinions on the HDIL Indian Turf Invitation Cup and the Maj. P.K. Mehra Memorial Super Mile Cup.

Vithal Deshmukh: In the Super Mile, my vote goes to Siachen; in the big one, I fancy Moonlight Romance to repeat in what is a somewhat open affair.

Jaggi Dhariwal: Sunny's Secret can spring a surprise in the Invitation Cup.

Shehzad Abbas: For the Super Mile, I have sent Aloisia who has improved and still has a lot in her. In the feature, the Indian Derby form should hold and I like Moonlight Romance from Sun Kingdom.

Vinayak: Moonlight Romance from Ocean And Beyond

Narendra Lagad: In the Invitation Cup they should finish in the same order as in the Indian Derby; for the Super Mile my selections are Siachen, Beautiful Stranger and Onassis.

Arjun Mangalorakar: At this stage in the season, the fillies' form starts dipping and hence I fancy Ocean And Beyond for the Invitation Cup. My ward Astounding Gallop has to beat Siachen in the Super Mile but should run well.

Irfan Ghatala: My ward Sun Kingdom runs in the Invitation Cup — he is well and I hope he wins — it is a competitive race.

C. Rajendra: I give Moonlight Romance the first chance from Xisca, who shapes as a danger; in the Super Mile, form-wise Becket is the best though his last run was bad.

Suraj Narredu: In the Invitation Cup, they all have to beat Moonlight Romance.

Chris Hayes: Siachen should win the Super Mile. — Anil Mukhi
