Vani currently leads the Hero Order of Merit with total earnings of INR 4,64,000 in four appearances and will start as firm favourite at the Bombay Presidency Golf Club.
The INR 6,00,000 event featuring 16 golfers will culminate on February 20.
Delhi youngster Vani Kapoor is expected to face tough competition from Hero Motocorp sponsored Shamila Nicollet and Kolkota golfer Neha Tripathi. Bengaluru's Sharmila showed signs of her return to form with a second place finish in the last leg and is expected to press for victory this time. Neha is placed third in the Hero Order of Merit with earnings of INR 2,38,000 and will try to close the gap at the top of the table.
Kiran who has already tasted victory in her maiden appearance will be a force to reckon with. Smriti Mehra on the other hand hasn't been at her best in the present season and would be eyeing a turnaround at BPGC.
Other golfers to watch out for are Delhi's Gauri Monga, Pune's Shweta Galande and Chandigarh golfer Saaniya Sharma.
