CITY SELECTIONS CENTRAL CITY was only narrowly denied last time and that followed a victory over 1m4f at Lingfield at the beginning of the month. A reproduction of either of those efforts would give him a big chance today, although the seven-year-old does have to prove that he stays this trip. Reeceltic is a player based on his victory over 2m at Lingfield in March, while Zuckerberg is another to note. CENTRAL CITY
