Racing and Sports Form Analyst Alex Steedman provides a Timeform recap of the Kingsford-Smith Stakes Day meeting at Eagle Farm on May 25.
Kiwi Raider The Bostonian maintained his unbeaten record in Australia by taking out the Kingsford-Smith Cup (1300m).
The Bostonian will now look to become the first horse since Thorn Park in 2004 to claim the Kingsford-Smith Cup - Stradbroke Handicap double since Thorn Park in 2004 and the first horse ever to claim all three of Queensland's Group 1 sprint features after resuming with success in the Doomben 10,000.
Connections of Strasbourg are expected to pay the late entry fee for the J.J Atkins Stakes next fortnight after he claimed the Group 2 BRC Sires' Produce Stakes (1400m) while his stablemate Military Zone is surprisingly off to the spelling paddock after an impressive win in the Group 3 Fred Best Classic (1400m).
