BANGALORE, July 25: Jim Foley-trained Forest Fantasy who has been systematically prepared, should have a decisive say in the 1600 metres Krishnaraja Wadiyar Cup, a rich terms race for three year olds, the main event of the races programmed for Saturday.

Forest Fantasy ran a close fourth to Distinction in the Speaker's Cup and subsequently finished fourth in the Fillies Trials Stakes. She also ran in a mock race last week and is in pink of condition to get the better of Moment of Glory who shapes as the next best.

Cyrus Taraporvala-trained Royal Aberdden who is in smashing form, should prevail in the 1200 metres Royal Calcutta Turf Club Cup, a race for horses rated 50 and above, despite taking on a mature opposition.

The first race is at 1.45 p.m.
