HOWDEN AUSTRALIAN GUINEAS DAY, 1 MARCH
Results
Handy race. CENTENNIAL PARK (1) was a dominant maiden winner at Geelong two back before getting the upper hand over Sigiriya Rock at Caulfield Heath out to this trip last start. That horse has since run second at Flemington last week and Centennial Park maps ideally. ZORRO'S FLIGHT (2) is on the quick turnaround having won in good style here over 1400m last week. Can't see 1600m being an issue off that, he can win again. TOMBA (3) has won his past two at Kembla Grange, getting the upper hand over 1500m last time out in BM64 grade. Must respect the stable bringing him here and Shinn goes on. SEINDEEL (4) found the line nicely over 1400m here last start behind Xarpo, who started favourite to beat Zorro's Flight last week. Out to 1600m looks ideal for Seindeel now. MACEDON ROSE (9) won in the style of a good horse on debut at Seymour, this is a nice test of her ability.
