Ben Melham 57 $41 FORM SUMMARY CANNONBALL warrants respect with an impressive first-up record. He has been trialing extremely well and looks set to produce a big run. SPACEWALK looks ideally placed here to make it back to back wins. HALVORSEN and NAJEM SUHAIL boast strong form at this track. TECHFORM’S TOP 5 1 Spacewalk 100 3 Athelric 98 4 Ashford Street 96 6 Generation 95 11 Key Largo 94 CENTURY (Better Boy (IRE) – Royal Suite) Century was one of the best sprinters to race at Flemington in the 20th century, and he then made a huge contribution to Victoria’s bloodstock industry. He sired some 44 stakes winners including such champions as Centauria, Double Century, Euclase, Indian Raj, Rubiton and Stage Hit. A Victorian-bred son of champion Better Boy, Century himself was 1978 Australian Champion Sire. On the racetrack, trained by Bart Cummings and ridden by Roy Higgins, Century won 11 of his 29 starts. He loved Flemington. His wins here included the 1972 VRC Ascot Vale Stakes and Sires’ Produce, the 1973 Newmarket Handicap and VRC Craven ‘A’ Stakes (VRC Sprint Classic), and the 1974 Lightning Stakes.
