Bangalore Race 7 - Chennai Cup Handicap
ROCK BANK (7) returned to winning form as favourite last start, scoring by 0.8 lengths over today's journey at this track. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including a win and three placings. Can go on with it. EMPHATIC (4) steps up in trip after scoring last time by a neck over 1400m at this track on June 8. Big weight drop so another big run is on the cards. SEKHMET (3) finished 7 lengths away in sixth last time out over 1400m at this track when resuming from a spell. Steps up in distance today. Reunites with Hindu Singh who has a win when partnering. Fitter and expected to run well. BASHIR (5) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 5 lengths. Fitter so can feature in the finish.
