2YO Magic Millions Classic

The big one, the Magic Millions 2YO Classic and it features a boom horse and many future stars. Ric Chapman previews the entire race

1. Zip Lock (3)

J: M Harley T: Chris & C Munce

All the chat is about the odds on pop and in the musings this bloke has been forgotten. But, he shouldn’t because he can win this. To date, he is unbeaten, can run home hard, has the perfect draw to sit behind the speed then unleash and he is in a stable that is on fore. Will get out and look the winner at some stage. Huge threat.

2. Tornado Valley (5)

J: E Brown T: C Maher

Victorian who will strip a whole lot better after chasing home Zip Lock last start. Hits the line well. Got back and seemed lost last start but rallied impressively late for 2nd. Has a stakes win to his credit in Victoria and he can make his presence felt in this. Real tough, grinding type.

3. Itchintogo (11)

J: R Maloney T: T Gollan

Smashed a weak field leading all the way last start. Knows how to win but may not get to the front early from this gate. Still, he’s on the quick back-up, is very fit and can run home hard. Will be thereabouts.

4. Warwoven (6)

J: R King T: B Baker

Being talked about as the Luskin Star of his era. And the money has flown in for him. Has raced twice, has won twice and done so with powerful late strides in a dominant fashion. Drawn well enough, is strong and ready to go bang.

5. Unit Five (9)

J: T Stockdale T: C Maher

One start one city win. Looks smart. Has won both his jump outs and his only barrier trial as well so he knows what winning is like. Up from Victoria and this is his first race in Qld so that’s a concern, but he does feel talented.

6. Knightsbridge (8)

J: J Mcdonald T: G Waterhouse & A Bott

One of 4 Gai and Adrian are saddling in this and he does seem smart. Accelerated when he heeded to last start when resuming to win in town. Up in class here but is progressive and Jay Mac has the ride. Place show.

7. Shiki (10)

J: T Clark T: G Waterhouse & A Bott

Smart and looks very hard to beat. Some will question her ability to run the trip but I suggest if Tim Clark rides her off the pace and she finds cover, she will sprint very hard late. Looked smart running a time that was 4 lengths faster than Itchintogo last week. Respect her.

8. Lumbini (16)

J: C Williams T: G Waterhouse & A Bott

Not helped by this horror draw but probably drops back looking for cover anyway. Won here on debut comfortably then ran home gamely when easily beaten into 2nd spot by the boom horse Warwoven last start. Not keen.

9. By Choice (4)

J: J Melham T: G Waterhouse & A Bott

Nicely drawn but this is hard. Led all the way to win on debut at randwick in handy time but was always well back last start when beaten 3 lengths last week by Shiki. Not keen.

10. Masvingo (12)

J: J Collett T: B Baker

Maiden after 3 runs but is better than most maidens. Gives the impression she will love this trip. Gets back generally, although last start at Randwick she was driven forward from the gate and weakened in the final 75m. Should get back and will be making ground late.

Very handy although still a maiden after 2 starts. Saying that, she gets back and charges home and will love this trip. Probably going to get too far back in this though.
