Century Downs Race 3 - Race 3 - 1609M

SHARK WEEK (4) finished fifth last start over 1609m at Century Mile, beaten 4 metres, after a good win at Century Mile the run prior. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is good enough to take this out. MERCEDES (5) drew wide once again last start but produced a strong effort, scoring by 1.75 metres at Century Mile over 1609m. Meeting a deeper field this time but he good enough to play a major role. SAMBA BEAT (3) is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at Century Mile. GENERAL CUSTARD (2) must be considered after he finished third over 1609m at Century Mile six weeks ago.
