Calcutta: Trainer Bharath Singh’s Double Do (apprentice B. Nikhil-up), though is tight at the weights with Macedonian, may win the 1,200m Select Cup, on Wednesday, the last day of the season. It is because, Macedonian — a tear away type — may find the going tough in the hands of apprentice Hindu Singh.
Meanwhile, here, on Tuesday, Bharath’s Astaire, claimed the 1,400m Prince Blossom Cup in a close finish, involving the 9-10 favourite, Shaktiroop.
