In depth
Verdict
Gizzit has lost his way and has no form on ground this quick. The lack of a recent run is a worry for both Faith Jicaro and Carobello so this looks a straightforward task for STAR PRESENTER, who was beaten off this mark over 2m4f here last time but should be woken up by the fitting of headgear.
