Wheelhouse charged home to score an eye-catching win here on the Gold Coast last week, and the Magic Millions Open looks a lovely race for him.
The Chris Waller-trained gelding has returned some bold effort recently, and finished second in the Listed Ladies Day Vase and a talent-rich BM88 race at Randwick before saluting here last week.
He’s rock-hard fit, will relish the conditions and with even luck, he can record a lucrative win.
Krone is just the best horse in the Magic Millions Fillies & Mares in my opinion, and she can return to winning form.
Krone has always shown plenty of ability, but she went to another level under the care of Tony Gollan last year, winning the Group 1 Coolmore Classic most notably.
She strips fitter for a fair first-up run for fifth in the Nudgee Handicap, Timmy Clark rides and I think she’ll take plenty of beating.
The Magic Millions Snippets has drawn a typically strong field of sprinters, but I am keen to have something on the resuming Fituese.
Fituese has been a standout for the John Thompson yard since making her debut, and she picked off plenty of good races.
She takes her place in this field with an impressive fresh record of 4:3-0-0 and she has trialled extremely well in the lead-up to her return.
Eleven Eleven is a Magic Millions specialist and I am eager to stick with him in the Magic Millions Cup.
Eleven Eleven recorded the biggest win of his career when awarded the Magic Millions 3YO Guineas two years ago, and he returned last year to win this race.
Greg Hickman just gets them going at the right moment for success on the Gold Coast, and he’ll prove tough to beat again.
