The path to the $2million Magic Millions 2YO Classic at the Gold Coast next month has plenty of twists and turns with the $200,000 Magic Millions Wyong Classic run this afternoon sure to shed light on who the real players may be.
On face value it looks a strong race with Breeders Plate runner up Mach Ten (Exceed and Excel) and Golden Gift place-getters Infatuation (I Am Infatuation) and Summer Loving (Exceed and Excel) all well fancied.
Fire Lane (Hellbent) won the Max Lees Classic at Newcastle on debut, while Quasimoto (Squamosa) was third on debut at Newcastle to Blanc de Blanc and Saltaire, who reversed their placings to run first and third in the $500,000 Inglis Nursery last Saturday.
Also worth a look unraced Brave Smash (Jpn) colt Hachiman from the Maher / Eustace stable.
His most recent trial was a good second to Gimcrack Stakes winner Platinum Jubilee and his sire Brave Smash has had four runners so far for smart three time Ascot winner Brave Halo, plus two metro place-getters and a fourth place-getter last Saturday at Kembla.
