CITY SELECTIONS MAHARASHTRA improved for the step back up in trip when breaking his maiden over C&D in September. He won readily on that occasion, when eased down at the line, and a 2lb rise in the weights might not be enough to prevent another bold showing. This is a better race, though, so it would be foolish to rule out Al Gaiya, who won at Kempton 10 days ago. Captain St Lucifer can also make his presence felt. MAHARASHTRA
