Century Downs Race 5 - Race 5 - 1609m
RIDER BUDDY (1) Ran 5th last run here but can save some energy from the alley. Will be positive in the run early. Major chance. DUNGANNIGANS (2) Just short of the win last time here. Has plenty of early speed. Been in the money each start this preparation. Top prospects against this opposition. Y V MICHTERS (6) Led and controlled the pace when winning by 1.75m last run around here and on an upward trajectory in recent races. Will be trying to topple them late. Strong chance. CF BEAT THE RAIN (3) Ran 4th last time at this track. Kelly O Hoerdt rates highly aboard. Include in chances.

Closed off nicely when 5th last time at the track and was a debutant last start. Likely to get back in the run. Highly unlikely it will trouble the judge.
