Giganticus, Artimino and Burning Incense look the most likely winners on paper and Giganticus gets the nod. Gelding looks to have made a racehorse of Barry Hills' charge and he ran well at Ascot in spite of attempting to carry a penalty for his Bunbury Cup success. Artimino has been sent off as favourite for big handicaps with alarming regularity. A mile is probably just beyond his stamina reserves so today's seven furlongs should suit. Burning Incense has conversely graduated from six furlongs. The hold up performer will be running on when others have cried enough. Partners In Jazz isn't the most frequent winners but has optimum conditions this afternoon. Ingleby Arch may have preferred more rain while Mac Love appears to have taken some time to come back to form since his travels out to Dubai. Countdown has done his winning against weaker opposition and the percent call is that of opposition. Giganticus is open to improvement and we side with him accordingly.
