GOING: G

Thomas Farms Centaurea Stakes 2019m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 18)   Rail: Out 4m Entire, Sectional 605m. (Pent: 5.45).  

Should be a strong tempo with Perfect Ending, Seonee and Soul Choice the ones to roll forward. SEA WHAT I SEE (4) is a real winner and has plenty of ability, undefeated this time in after five runs. Will stay all day over this trip and anticipate there's still plenty more under the bonnet. The one to beat. SILENT SURRENTE (5) has hit the line hard in both runs back and will relish stepping out to this journey. Meets Seonee 3kgs better at the weights this time and gets a key jockey booking in Kah. Expect her to be taking the strongest strides late. SEONEE (1) was a smart winner of the G2 Queen Of The South here a fortnight ago. Form hard to knock but there's a query on whether she can run the trip. RIVAPORT (7) comes through the same race and is another that gets in well under the conditions. More capable over the longer trip and can run a bold race. TYCOON BEC (6) stuck on gamely to just miss the frame behind an above average one last time at Caulfield. Doesn't boast the greatest record over this distance but will run it out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sea What I See the one to beat. Saving on Silent Surrente.
