Bangalore, March 20: Cyrus Taraporvala-trained Royal Aberdeen who failed to run true to expectations in the Classic Sprinters Cup at Hyderabad, is fancied to win the 1400 metres Jayachamaraja Wadiyar Cup, a rich terms race for four year olds and over, the main event of the concluding day's Bangalore Winter Races, programmed for Saturday.The Tecorno-Fire Phoenix four year old colt Royal Aberdeen has thus far not won over seven furlongs as all his wins have come over a sprint but considering his style of running, the extended trip is well within his compass. Imperial Leader who is well placed in scales should run the favourite close.
The first race is at 1.30 p.m.
