Century Downs Race 5

1609m

Prize Money: $5,612

UP THE GUN (5) scored by 1.3 metres at this track over 1609m last start, the second win from his past six outings. Meets a comparable field and he can go right on with the job. AMADEO (6) finished third last start, beaten 3.5 metres at this track over 1609m. Expect him to pose a serious challenge. CEASARS PALACE (3) is the next best after finishing third over 1609m at this track last time out. ERIC SHARK (7) is worth some thought after his last-start fourth over 1609m at this track on June 26.

Didn't do much last time out, 6th over 1609m at this track beaten 30 m by Outlaw Country On (1:54.40) on July 4 at $57.80. Before that 5th over 1609m at this track, at the bell was 7th- beaten 12 m by Boleto A Mexico (1:55.10) on June 26 at $174.20. Likely to find it too tough.

Hard to fault of late. Last start won by 1.3 m at this track (1:57.30) beating Sundash in on July 3 at $2.70 at the bell was leading. No reason he cannot get the job done again.
