Track: Good Weather: Fine

The big guns are back. Giga Kick has all class and should take plenty of beating against this lot. Private Eye is one of the better sprinters in Australia and should go close in this field. I feel Aft Cabin has been over rated at times but is good enough to find a placing. Bella Nipotina is as honest as they come and she is drawn to get all the favours from barrier 1. Remarque goes well fresh and commands respect in this field having already challenged some of these in the past and come out on top. Cracking race and plenty of tempo engaged.

1. Giga Kick (7)

Class runner who resumes and has J-Mac in the saddle. Impossible to knock, may just be the only query is that it is off a decent break. Market should be telling late.“

2. Private Eye (6)

Class runner with a strong strike rate and flies fresh. Has the finale to beat these and drawn well.

3. Aft Cabin (3)

Can’t have.

4. Bella Nipotina (1)

She has the fitness on this lot and maps for the run of the race from barrier 1. Big chance to take this out off the back of such a good prep.

5. Remarque (4)

Didn’t come up last prep but fires fresh and has the ability to be winning this.

6. Bandi’s Boy (10)

Can’t have.

7. I Am Me (2)

Loaded with upside and drawn well. Place hope in this.

8. Dragonstone (11)

Prefer others.

9. Red Card (12)

This looks too tough.

10. Moravia (5)

May find these too slick.

11. Way To The Stars (9)

Can’t have.

12. Le Melody (8)

Prefer others.
