Bangalore Race 6 - Governor's Cup Stakes (Group 3)
POSITANO (2) proved too strong last start and scored by 1.3 lengths over 2200m in Group 2 class at this track. Has raced seven times here and has never missed the frame. Back a level after tackling a tougher race last time. Top chance in this field. RISE AND REIGN (6) resumed over 1600m at Mysore last start and was too good for her rivals, scoring by 1.5 lengths. Won at her only second-up appearance and must be respected. RAMIEL (1) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when ninth, beaten 17 lengths, over 2200m in Group 2 grade at this track. Has a solid record at the third run in and can find peak form this time. VICTOR HUGO (5) is a last-start winner two weeks ago, scoring by 15 lengths over 1800m at this track. Hard to knock.
