Dealers Choice pleases in final spin

DEALER’S CHOICE closed off  her preparation on a good note yesterday, when trainers chose to take things light with their charges. The three-year-old chestnut filly attached to the small string of Ganesh Lal breezed the last 600 metres of the main course in a respectable 36.42 seconds. Sky Storm Rising who will tackle the imported three-year-old maidens over 1200 metres on tomorrow’s 10-race card looked in good shape extending her legs further. The Rohit Dube inmate who has had some sparkling gallops to her name previously, showed the same enthusiasm in her spin, covering 1000 metres in 1:04.52 seconds. Top Of The Class looked ready for his seasonal debut, ambling along the last 600 metres of the anti-clockwise course in 44.92 seconds. Also looking in top condition going through their paces were Champagne Wager, Mucho Tempo, Royal Miss, Super Grey, and Over And Above.
