Early preview: Everest to be climbed

■ Another of Australia’s biggest races, the Everest, will be run on October 14, at Randwick over the 1200 metre trip, clashing with the Caulfield Guineas at Caulfield on the same day.

Two top Victorian gallopers, Giga Kick and I Wish I Win, are the logical favourites given their outstanding lead ups to the big race.

Before nominations, Neds Betting has Giga Kick on top, just ahead of I Wish I Win.

The Clayton Gallagher trained Giga Kick is producing some incredible runs, especially at three-years-of age.

He showed in the Doomben 10,000, what he was all about with a brilliant come from behind win to beat the good Sydney horse Overpass.

I will talk about Overpass shortly, with his great form too.

Back to the other top Victorian, I Wish I Win, with one of the great trainers, in Peter Moody.

The four-year-old son of Cox Plate winner, Savabeel , like Giga Kick, is taking all before him too.

He put in a magnificent run to easily beat a class field in the time honoured T.J.Smith Stakes, at Randwick on April 1 over 1200 metres.

The field on that occasion was first class, with other competitors like Nature Strip, Lost and Running, Private Eye and Mazu.
