The daughter of Zoustar brought up her second Group 1 in the Newmarket Handicap and she's been competitive in two subsequent efforts, which includes a last start second in the All Aged Stakes.

Giga Kick ($5) resumed with a third-place finish in The Goodwood on May 15 and the Kingsford-Smith Cup appeals as a second-up option for the Clayton Douglas-trained galloper.

The five-year-old won his only prior Queesland attempt when successful in 2023 Doomben 10,000 and that followed a 1400m victory when taking out the All Aged Stakes.

Benedetta ($9) recorded a fifth-place finish in the All Aged Stakes and she arrived to that 1400m feature off a runner-up to Schwarz in the William Reid Stakes.

The Jason Warren-trained mare was again competitive last start via a fourth-place finish in the Doomben 10,000.

The 2025 Kingsford-Smith Cup will now run alongside the Queensland Derby and Queensland Oaks and as part of the Eagle Farm program on Saturday, June 7.
