Eighty Eight Days is only a lightly raced six year old gelding who has managed four wins from seven career race starts.
In fact, he has finished outside the top two just twice in his short career and although this is his first time racing in the city, he can make the step up in grade on exposed form.
James Cummings has taken his filly Honeycreeper to the Apple Isle in search of an Oaks victory and he is every chance at taking out the race.
The daughter of Teofilo was placed in her first three runs this prep before breaking through at Sandown last start over 1600m.
She will appreciate the step up in distance at this stage in her prep and she is clearly the horse to beat.
Scott Brunton has three runners in the Magic Million 3&4 year old race and First Accused is his best chance.
The four year old has been an incredibly consistent performer throughout his career, finishing outside the placings just once in 13 career starts.
He comes into this race off the back of a nice win at Hobart and if he holds his form, he will be tough to beat.
Ubriaco has been working through the grades well and comes into this race after back to back wins.
The last of those two wins was at this track and distance and although he is being asked to carry the big weight, the apprentice will give some weight relief.
