Magic Millions (Bm74)

The case leans on its trainer form, class and late speed. It has 1 win from 4 starts at Scone over 1700m, won its last start by a nose at Randwick, and has 3 wins from 5 starts on good ground. Its career strike rate of 36% (4/11) and S I Singleton's form at 27% above expectation across the last 100 runners add support, and the barrier 3 draw should give it a soft run. The main thing to watch is the first-time blinkers.

Recent form and trainer form both support it. D J Hatch/Zac Wadick are striking 111% above expectation over the last 100, and it was placed last start, beaten half a length. Its career strike rate is 25% (3/12). Class is the concern, so it will need to step up against this company.

It owns the quickest recent time figure in the field, at 3.6 lengths a km under the track average. Cameron Crockett is in form at 31% above expectation across the last 100 runners, and trainer form and late speed back it up. Recent form and age and sex are concerns, though the barrier 2 draw should give it a soft run. The main thing to watch is the first-time winkers.

It is among the quickest recent time figures in the field, at 3.1 lengths a km under the track average, and the barrier 1 draw should give it a soft run. Age and sex, class and running style are concerns that temper the case, so it must show it can handle a step up in company and its running style.

T J Wicks/Anna Roper are striking 126% above expectation over the last 100, and late speed is a positive. Class, age and sex, and jockey form are concerns that hold the case back. The main thing to watch is the wide barrier 5 of 6 to overcome.

Its recent speed and trainer form are positives, but its fresh record and fitness weigh on the case. It is winless first-up (0 from 6), though it has struck once into the prep with 1 win from 4 starts second-up. It is resuming today from a wide barrier 6 to overcome, which is the main thing to watch.
