Kolkata Race 4 - Bangalore Turf Club Cup Handicap
THOUSAND WORDS (4) has scored at his last two starts, most recently by 1.3 lengths over 1100m at this track as favourite. That continued the good form this campaign, with two wins and two minor placings from four runs. Can measure up again. RAFFAELLO (8) built on a nice second two starts back at this track with success as favourite over 1400m at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by one length. Taking on a better field but he is worth serious consideration. LIBAN (6) fought on for second last start over 1200m at this track, making it two minor placings in a row. Has the speed to overcome the draw. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is capable of a big performance. STORMY OCEAN (7) has progressed nicely in his last couple of runs. Finished third in Group 3 grade at this track two starts back then got the job done by a nose last time out over 1600m at this track. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot score again.
