Bangalore Race 8 - Hooves Of Steel Million Div-2 Maiden Stakes
NEPTUNE (7) finished second, beaten a long neck, when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at this track. Placed to advantage so expect a forward showing. LUKE THE NUKE (1) is back after a break of five months. Went close to a maiden win before the layoff, finishing third at his latest appearance over 1400m at Madras. Good chance to break through. KNOTTY CRUISE (6) is a three-year-old filly on debut from the stable of Prasanna Kumar. By Gusto from Cruising. Any push in betting should be respected. RENOIR (2) was never really a threat on debut last start over 1400m at this track, finishing 9 lengths from the winner in ninth. Better for that outing and is expected to run well.
