Queen's Best Cup main event at KRC today.

KARACHI -- The riders and their horses will experience a new cold wave as Queen's Best Cup features prominently in a healthy seven-race card drawn for the winter Gymkhana race meeting being held here at the Karachi Racecourse on Saturday.

If recent form is taken into consideration, then four-year-old thoroughbred filly Silent Response is likely to reign supreme in the cup race being contested over five-and-a-half furlongs and features five contestants. She had notched up 10 lengths victory over My Boy in her last outing on January one.

Either of her two stable-mates - fillies Time Game or Cheer Leader - are on chance to follow the footsteps of Silent Response in the last race of the day.

Dark bay horse Night Vision is expected to make amends by sprinting to victory in the earlier race under top combined scale order I and II being run over five furlongs.

Night Vision was denied to perform hat-trick in her last run when she lost to Churchill by three-and-a-half lengths in the X-MAS Cup.

He is expected to be chased by mare Heer among six acceptors.

At the outset, chestnut horse Rich Striker looks fancied to dominate the opening race under scale order VIII being run over four furlongs.

In his quest to atone for last week's loss, he has to overcome challenger chestnut mare Soldier Girl besides three other opponents.

Another five horses will face the starter in the second race under scale order...
