GOING:

CENTENNIAL PARK STAKES 1800m

Track:      

Suzuka Double is expected to cross from a wide draw and lead. NEBRA DISK (17) is a progressive four-year-old entire who resumes from a break of ten weeks, his last appearance being a win over 1800m at this track at his only run of that campaign. Has a very strong record first-up including three wins. Reunites with jockey Mirai Iwata who knows him well, including two wins while aboard. Should be in the finish. REIGNING (11) resumes after finishing in the money over 2000m at Tokyo on February 22, adding to his solid overall record. The first-up credentials are sound so he should feature in the finish. ARABELLA (12) returns from a spell of four-and-a-half months after back-to-back wins to close last campaign, the latest over 1800m at Hanshin. Promising filly resuming. Looks a key runner. CHERNOBOG (13) finished third last start at the first run back from a spell over 1800m at Hanshin, beaten 2.25 lengths. Should take a lot from that hit-out. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including two wins. Fitter and worth following up.
