Description
Progressive 3yo gelding by Ten Sovereigns
HK Rating 67
Current status: In training at Mornington with Matt Laurie
X-rays and scope are uploaded to the Inglis repository
Central Bank is the winner of his last 2 starts, with his most recent win showing a great improvement.
His trainer, Matt Laurie, has chosen to keep Central Bank over a 1000m trip at this stage of his career, to allow the horse the opportunity to gain confidence in settling off pace and thereby develop a racing style which in time, will suit a longer sprinting trip (5-7f).
Central Bank's key attributes are his strong pace which allows him to settle handy, enabling him the opportunity to pounce in the final furlong.
Through his training thus far, Central Bank has been sound, has coped with lengthy preparations and has a very good work ethic.
He appears to be a type that will continue to improve physically and we feel he will suit the quick speed of HK racing.
He is offered with a HK vetting certificate and is currently rated 67 HK. He is 15.3hh and 470kg.
For any enquiries, please contact Matt Laurie via text message or WhatsApp - +61402835526
