There should be a bit of pressure with Sir Sway and Press Down pressing forward in advance of Sghirripa and Watchme Win. What a mouth-watering edition of the The Goodwood at Group 1 level with the addition of GIGA KICK (7). Last sighted in the G1 Champions Sprint when beaten 2.5L, only beaten a lip the start prior in The Everest. Possesses a formidable first-up profile and has worked well leading into this. Obviously the one to beat. AMEENA (12) was luckless when resuming in the G1 Robert Sangster, forced back to the inside and flashing late to just miss. Back in great order and gets in well at the weights. Expect her to be charging hard again. SGHIRRIPA (3) is a talented type on his day and represent one of the few on-pace runners engaged. Kept fresh. Suspect they burn across from the wide alley and give some cheek. Can find the frame at huge odds. CHARM STONE (1) arrives off a career-best performance, winning the Sangster. Drawn better this time but will be hoping they unexpectedly tear along early doors, for her to launch late. RESERVE BANK (8) has gone to a new level since arriving in SA. SUGGESTED PLAY: Giga Kick to win. Each-way saver Sghirripa.
