GIGA KICK is on track to defend his Everest crown with jockey Craig Williams declaring “there’s a lot more in front of me” after a jumpout win on Monday.
It was a star studded line-up of thoroughbred talent at Cranbourne’s jumpouts with STAR PATROL, MAGIC TIME, NONCONFORMIST and LUNAR FLARE all strutting their stuff.
Here’s the top 5 Key Points from the morning’s gallops on a Soft 6 track:
The Clayton Douglas-trained GIGA KICK beat WEE NESSY and MAGIC TIME OVER 800M clocking 51.16 under a strong hold
STAR PATROL beat MAHARBRA and SHE’S A CON in 51.12 albeit was asked for more of an effort
GIGA KICK will resume in the G2 McKewen Stakes at The Valley on Sept 9 with Craig Williams declaring “he is a phenomenal horse, the circumference of Moonee Valley won’t be a problem” before signaling a stern warning to spring rivals "when he came back in, his recovery was amazing and I said to Clayton ‘he did that with ease’."
Blamey Stakes winner NONCONFIRMIST defeated Melbourne Cup aspirant LUNAR FLARE and top-class mare ANNAVISTO over 1200m. The 1200m trial for ANNAVISTO suggests the Price/Kent stable will target the G1 Memsie Stakes first-up
CEST MAGIQUE might’ve been a surprise 2nd placegetter at $41 in the G1 Coolmore Stud Stakes during Cup week but the way he won a heat on Monday suggests that wasn’t a fluke performance. He cruised to victory over SUIZURO and the G1-placed STEINEM
