You'll witness fields ranging from eight to ten horses per race, ensuring competitive action throughout the evening.

 

Race 1 (6:30 PM): The sprint opener

The Favorite: I Shall Lead looks absolutely ready to strike in this Class-VII Division-VII contest. This horse has been showing consistent form and should handle the 900-metre trip perfectly.

The Challenger: Al Karam brings solid credentials and could easily finish in the money, making this a two-horse battle for the top spot.

The Dark Horse: Don't sleep on Star Crown – this runner could surprise everyone if the pace sets up right.

The supporting cast: Keep an eye on Sargana Choice, who's been training well, while Mumraiz The Great, Thunder Lady, Silent Melody, Gul-e-Kashmir, Flokey, and Deep Impact all bring their own stories to this competitive field.

Race 3: Mid-card excitement

The Pick: Sky Warrior soars into this Class-VII Division-V&VI race as the one to beat, showing the kind of form that wins races.

The Follower: Thunder Man (Krc) has been knocking on the door and could easily grab second place or better.

Race 4: Pre-feature thriller

The Class: Little Master brings the highest level of ability to this Class-VII Division-IV, V&VI contest and should be tough to beat.

The Pursuer: Zaman Sahib has been running well and looks like the logical choice to chase the favorite home.

The Fluke: Rayaan Prince could be the surprise package – sometimes horses peak at exactly the right moment.

The Field: Casper, Agha Prince, Daddy Cool, Azaad, and Chika Rika complete an eight-horse field where anything can happen over 900 metres.

Race 5: The mile test begins

Now we step up to the mile distance for the Class-VII Division-I&II feature, where stamina becomes crucial. This race lacks a clear standout favorite, making it potentially the most competitive event of the evening.

The Contenders: Phantom brings proven mile form and could be the value play of the card. Rakaposhi has been consistent over longer distances, while Golden Heart possesses the class to win this type of race. Qalandar and Set In Stone both have mile experience, and Flash has shown improvement recently.
