Giga Kick, Imperatriz set for McEwen Stakes standoff

Giga Kick is set to compete against six contenders in the anticipated Group 2 McEwen Stakes (1000m) this Saturday in Melbourne, Australia.

After emerging victorious in the Group 1 Doomben 10,000 (1200m) on May 13, the Clayton Douglas runner took a break from racing and is now set to return to the track.

Among Giga Kick’s formidable opponents will be the Kiwi mare Imperatriz, who recently showcased her skills by triumphing in the Group 1 William Reid Stakes (1200m).

With Imperatriz coming off three Group 1 victories in her last campaign, this promises to be a thrilling contest worthy of top-tier status.
