Clayton Douglas | Clayton Douglas News 58221 Giga Kick Back Bigger Stronger

Clayton Douglas' star sprinter Giga Kick is back bigger and stronger and could return to the racetrack as soon as July, according to the Mornington-based trainer.

The four-year-old has been recovering from muscle tears to his hamstring and hip and hasn't raced since the McEwen Stakes last September.

But while Douglas has been keeping himself and his champion galloper out of the spotlight for the past few months, he says he's thrilled with the condition the striking chestnut gelding has come back in ahead of his racing return.

"He's come along really well, we're really happy with him," he said.

"He's very happy within himself too and has been doing everything right and ticking all the boxes.

"Physically, he's matured so much, he's come back in great order and (I'm) looking forward to getting him back to the races."
