Saffie Joseph’s yard has been in fine form at Gulfstream and NEWYORK GIANT should find life easier in this company judged on his best efforts at the latter track. Esor was no match for the winner when returning a losing favourite here last month but remains one to consider while King Shawn and Starship Fonzy have both been gelded since last in action with the former less exposed and making most appeal of that pair. Exclusive Donald is a Florida-bred newcomer to note.
