Kolkata Race 5 - Long Tom Handicap
THOUSAND WORDS (1) was sent out favourite last time and scored by 4.5 lengths over today's trip at this track. Has a good record at this trip with four wins and three placings. Rates highly and should go well. AUSTRALIA (6) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 5 lengths into eighth. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. LA DOMINATE (4) is a distance specialist who was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1200m at this track, beaten 2.25 lengths into fifth. Has a good record at this course and distance, including four wins. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. BRILLIANT STAR (3) returned from a spell three weeks ago when he was beaten 3.5 lengths into sixth over 1200m at this track. Fitter so expect a better run this time.
