Pune Race 8 - La Rondine Plate Handicap
SUBSTANTIAL (1) finished third when resuming from a spell last start over 1600m at this track. Likely to be in the finish. WIND DANCER (2) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 1600m at this track. Should be prominent despite the awkward gate. Ideally placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY (3) scored at her most recent appearance, getting home by 6 lengths over 1400m at this track as favourite. That continued the very strong form this campaign, with two wins from three starts. Can feature again. COME SEPTEMBER (5) finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 1400m at this track, beaten 1.75 lengths. Fitter for that run. Has started three times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Placed to advantage and can feature in the finish.
