Century Downs Race 3 - Race 3 - 1609M
ROCKIN BUDDY (10) is stepping out for the first time. By Shadow Play and hails from the R Therres stable. Will need a bit of luck negotiating a very wide starting position. Likely to attract plenty of interest from punters. VEGAS GANGSTER (1) resumes here after closing his last prep with a seventh at Century Mile on November 15. Expected to run well. SANTANNABECOOL (8) is on the radar after his last-start fourth over 1609m at this track three weeks ago. BERENS LUCK (6) should be at his peak at the fifth run back from a spell, the latest outing a third at this track two weeks ago.

First up. At the last run he 7th over 1609m at Century Mile was 5th- at the bell, beaten 7 m by Libra Mundi (1:54.40) in 2yo CG on November 15 at $21.10. Expect another strong first-up performance.

Solid performance when beaten by 1.75 m finishing third behind Y V Weller at this track over 1609m in a MDN on May 2 at $1.30. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Shootemjakeshootem at this track over 1609m in a MDN on May 9 at $1.55. Capable of a strong showing.

Two runs back 9th over 1609m at this track, at the bell was 9th- beaten 9 m by Betterontherox (2:02.20) in MDN on April 25 at $68.85. Not doing enough to threaten the top few.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished a narrow third behind Shootemjakeshootem at this track over 1609m MDN last start. Before that was beaten one metre second again at this track same class on May 2. Racing well and worth each-way consideration.

Three-year-old gelding (Shadow Play - Rockin Mystery) making his debut. Profiles nicely but betting will hold the key.
