Century Downs Race 4 - Race 4 - 1609M
SHARK WEEK (7) is an outstanding seven-year-old gelding who has 24 wins from 25 career runs. Made it two wins on the trot last time out, getting home by 1.75 metres over 1609m at this track. Will need a bit of luck negotiating a very wide starting position. Meets a similar line up so he can certainly add to the winning sequence. MERCEDES (6) was disappointing last start when 9 metres from the winner in fourth over 1609m at this track. Best form reference might be his win at Century Mile three starts back. Big chance if he gets the right breaks. SAMBA BEAT (4) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish second at this track over 1609m. Genuine threat. GENERAL CUSTARD (5) cannot be left out after solid recent performances, the latest a sound third at this track over 1609m.
