Kolkata Race 4 - Star Superior Cup Handicap

PLUTO (6) was returning from a break last time out and proved too classy, scoring by 1.75 lengths over 1200m at this track. Second-up record is strong and looms as the one to beat again. BLACK EAGLE (1) is a nine-time winner who has been at the top of his game of late, beaten 1.75 lengths into second last time out over 1400m at this track. Has a strong record at this journey and should be thereabouts. KNOTTY BLUSH (7) missed the placings two runs back then didn't feature last start when 17 lengths away in 13th over 1200m at this track. Meets a stronger field but he is worth another chance. RAFFAELLO (5) ran below expectations last start, finishing seventh and beaten 9 lengths at this track over 1400m. Worth another chance.
