Kolkata Race 5 - Indian Gold Vase Handicap

A STAR IS BORN (1) clocked-in second behind VINCENT VAN GOGH last time out at this track over 1600m. Yet to miss the placings here in an excellent record which boasts six wins and four placings. Sure to be there at the business end. VINCENT VAN GOGH (4) made it three wins in succession last time out when he scored by 1.5 lengths over 1600m at this track. Winning rider Vishal N Bunde retains the mount. Ideally placed and is sure to give this a mighty shake. COOL RIDER (3) finished 4.5 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1200m at this track five-and-a-half weeks ago. Steps up in journey today. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Capable of testing this field. CHOPIN (5) missed the placings two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 10 lengths away in sixth over 2000m at this track. Well placed to bounce back.
