Verdict

GIGA KICK (1) proven Group 1 winning sprinter with an exceptional winning strike rate. No match for Tentyris first-up with an even fifth over 5f in the G1 Lightning Stakes at Flemington. Has a good record at the Randwick track and should get his desired conditions to put these away. RAGING FORCE (8) San Domenico winner ready to compete at the top level. Resumes after finishing tenth in the G1 Coolmore Stud at Flemington last November. Looks ready to go with the two fast trials and will take holding out from the draw. MAZU (2) old marvel who returns after finishing third in the Russell Balding over 6 ½f last November at Randwick. Will sit up on the pace, and the two trials suggest he's come back in good order. Keep safe. THE BLACK CLOUD (6) distance specialist holding her form. Produced a slick set of closing splits when second to Celui over 5f at this track in BM94 class. Fitted with a recent 4f trial placing. Sure to be thereabouts. MARHOONA (9) place best from the gate.
