Answer / guest

It's simple.

Let's find the possible places horses can finish.
Possibilities are:

Sikandar - 2,3,4 (not 5th as Mughal Glory came one place
after him)

Star - 2,3,4

Mughal Glory - 3,4,5

Zozo - 1,3 (not 4th & 5th as Rangila is two place after him)

Rangila - 3,5

So the result is:

1 Zozo

2 Star

3 Rangila

4 Sikandar

5 Mughal Glory

Answer / join co. viral-darshit

start----2,3,4

sikandar-----2,3,4

muglai-------3,4,5

zozo---------1,3

rangila------3,5

here if we go with zozo 3rd then 3rd and 5th rank will be
clashes.

so zozo will be 1st
rangila will be 3rd
muglai 5th
sikandar is just above the muglai so 4th
start is on 2nd
