Race 6 – 1400m – B66
Top Mauritian jockey Rai Joorawon replaced Swapneel Rama on Colour My Fate before the main race. It was a blessing in disguise for the Amar Sewdyal-trained horse.

Colour My Fate was unchallenged in front and he was full of running before entering the final straight. He drew clear easily to win his second race this season. Trippi’s Express and his stable companion finished second and third.
