GOLDEN GIANT (8) was a dominant winner last time over 1000m at this track, getting home by 2.5 lengths. Has been in sound form this prep with two wins from five starts. Should be hard to stop. BIG RED (5) made progress last time out, finishing a solid third at the end of 1500m at this track. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. KIRINO (3) ran well below his best last time over 1100m at this track, finishing a sound fourth at $3.70. Should be prominent from the outset. Sure to be competitive. SNOOKER (1) was returning from a break last time out and proved too classy, scoring by a nose over 1500m at this track. Second-up record is strong and is among the better chances.
