Race 5 Magic Millions Fillies & Mares (SW + P) 1300m
Tip #1 Invincibella $4.60 (Best Bet)
This class mare has won $2.5 million in prizemoney, she competed in Group 1 and Group 2 races in the spring and gets an easier assignment here.
Even with the 60kgs at the set weights conditions, she looks well suited.
Over the 1300m distance range, she has 4 wins from 9 attempts and has 2 wins from 3 starts at the tricky Gold Coast track.
Hugh Bowman will partner her again and really seems to get the best out of this mare, having saluted on board her on three occasions.
Race 6 Magic Millions 3YO Guineas (SW + P) 1400m
Tip # 2 Alligator Blood $1.75
Alligator Blood should tear the field apart again.
Only bad luck from barrier 11 can beat him this time. Jockey Ryan Maloney, who is a star in Queensland racing, should provide a good enough steer to get the job done.
This David Vandyke trained gelding could well and truly prove to be one of the country's best horses over the coming 12 months.
Race 7 Magic Millions 2YO Classic (SW) 1200M
Tip # 11 Gotta Kiss $14
The feature two-year-old Magic Millions event is a wide open race.
Team Snowden have a big hand in this year's edition with four horses engaged, and they will be hard to hold out.
The stable saddles up the $6 equal favourite Aim, who looks a great chance. The colt has notched up two wins from two career starts, both over the 1200m distance.
He beat King's Legacy by 1.9 lengths in his debut run, and that runner went on to win impressively in his next start.
In his following race, Aim then defeated another stablemate, Stellar Pauline, comfortably by 4 lengths at Randwick.
The other Snowden runner is Nitrous, who is long in the market at $26 and comes here off back-to-back wins in Sydney and Canberra.
A number of the horses in the field have yet to race over the 1200 metres, with Farnan and Gotta Kiss amongst that brigade.
However, that hasn’t been an influencing factor in recent history as three of the past four winners were untried at 1200m prior to winning the big race.
I liked the way Gotta Kiss hit the line to beat dual winner Lady Banff over 1000m last start at Eagle Farm, where she ran a sizzling 32.86 seconds in what was the fastest last 600m sectional for the day.
The Steven O’Dea filly is great each way value at the current quote of $13 and is my top tip.
King's Legacy and Aim are the main dangers.
