Kolkata Race 5 - Andropov Handicap
CHAMPAGNESUPERNOVA (3) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 2800m at this track. Has the class to figure prominently. TOUSSAINT (7) proved too strong two runs ago at this track. Couldn't follow that up last time out when second over 1600m at this track, beaten 3 lengths. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is capable of a big performance. ASAGIRI (4) is racing well, scoring by 2.75 lengths two back at this track then finishing a respectable fourth last time over 1200m at this track when not too far away. Winning rider Suraj Narredu sticks. One of the main contenders. GOOD DEEDS (1) is a last-start winner four weeks ago, scoring by a nose over 2000m at this track. Has solid credentials.
