Verdict

GIGA KICK (3) ready to peak third-up and will relish the strong tempo. Drifted back in a fast run contest with excellent closing splits to finish fourth over 5f in the G2 Challenge Stakes at this track. Since fitted with a 5 ?f tick over trial placing here. Value player. TENTYRIS (7) dynamic sprinting colt who pulled up with cardiac arrhythmia after warming up late to run fifth over this trip in the G1 Newmarket Hcp at Flemington. Won the Todman here last year and will need plenty of luck from the inside draw. JOLIESTAR (6) multiple Group 1 winning mare who gets better with age. Faces a tougher test today after proving too strong in the G1 Canterbury Stakes over 6 ½f here. Kept up to the mark with a 4 ½f trial placing. Ticks plenty of boxes from the draw. JIMMYSSTAR (1) first-up chipped away late on the worst part of the track up when seventh in the G1 William Reid over 6f at Caulfield. Finished third in the Everest here last year and set to rebound here. BRIASA (2) next best.
