Chris Scholtz reviews Sydney barrier trials at Randwick (April 18), Warwick Farm (April 21); Rosehill (April 28) and Randwick (May 1).
RANDWICK May 1
A Grass – 14 Heats; Soft 7
Gun sprinter GIGA KICK was the star of the show winning his open heat like the class act we know him to be.
GIGA KICK (Clayton Douglas): A perfect trial from the crack 3YO to prepare him for his Brisbane assault. Craig Williams allowed him to find his legs in the first 200m of his 1045m heat, settling second last some nine lengths from the leader before allowing the gelding to slide forward four wide from the 700m. Williams sat quietly as GIGA KICK made up the ground easily and it was a pleasure to watch him work through his gear under no pressure for a aloft win. It wasn't the fastest heat over the distance (63.34) but he reeled off a quick last 600m (34.73). There were some nice trials behind him with QUANTICO closing off fast for second and SINAWANN taking the eye with a big surge from the rear, going through the line better than any rival including the winner.
"Giga Kick out wide has claimed them all."

MARTIAL MUSIC (Anthony Cummings): An impressive piece of work by this lightly raced 3YO to win his open heat over 737m against some well performed rivals in fast time (42.85; 33.87). Was keen to run and easily maintained a good margin over the chasers with plenty in hand.
