Too Close To Call
A couple of big gun visitors adds plenty of sparkle and interest into the mix as they clash in the Crystal Cup to be run over 1299m at River Nile Delta on Saturday. Favorites do have a commendable record in this race, however there are just so many factors at play and it is a given that any horse that stays well, has a chance.
