An open Group Two. GAMING put in a good piece of work the other day and should give backers a good run for their money. Getaway Car arrives here in a very good vein of form and is the pick of the remainder.

Unbeaten in first two appearances. Built further on earlier promise when 1½ lengths second in Grade 1 at Del Mar on latest start. Put in a good piece of work the other day. Respected.

Yet to win in two starts. Better effort when ½ length second in maiden special weight at Santa Anita on debut. Hasn't an easy task on the figures.

Third of 5 first time up. Improved greatly on that when winning maiden special weight at Del Mar by 2½ lengths subsequently. Time was impressive there.
