AQUIS GOLD NUGGET QTIS 2YO Colts and Geldings 1100m
Good speed anticipated with a large representation of first starters lining up.
Tricky race to kick off the card with all but one of these babies facing the starter for the first time. ITCHINTOGO (1) is the only galloper in the field with race experience but has looked handy in both outings to date. Saluted over this distance range last time out and winning hoop Maloney sticks in the irons. Rates the testing material. The well-related BACIAMI (2) (half to 2xG3 winner Panova) put in a better trial last time and is sure to be well-educated out of the Edmonds barn. Respect any market confidence. DRAGON MAGIC (3) placed in a recent Eagle Farm trial and Rodd stays on top for race day. A strong debut showing would not surprise. WOOTTON YOU KNOW (5) gets gun hoop Williams on board and can feature first time at the races. WRITTEN ACLAIM (6) next in line. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Itchintogo. |

AQUIS GOLD PEARL QTIS 2YO Fillies 1100m
Good pace with Shiki, Scartoon and Inhabit matching motors.
BY CHOICE (2) wasted no time getting off the mark at Randwick on debut and winning rider Bayliss follows her up the highway here. The Waterhouse/Bott stable have a strong record with two-year-olds and can go back-to-back to start the career. SHIKI (1) looked good winning the Gimcrack when at the races for the first time before being tipped out for further time to furnish. Has since just missed the frame at Randwick last time out and will have come on with that run now in the locker. Looms as the main danger. TIGRONI (6) has hit the frame in both starts to date and Lloyd sticks in the saddle. Top-three aspirations. INHABIT (7) brings SA formlines to the table and any market support must be noted. DOUBLE COOL (10) next best with McDonald on from the inside marble. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing By Choice. |

CARBINE CLUB QUEENSLAND MAGIC MILLIONS MAIDEN PLATE 1400m
Difronzo to push forward on the fence and lead a race lacking pace. The $250,000 Maiden Plate. SPANISH TREASURE (10) is unlucky to still be a maiden hitting the top-four in all four starts to date and will strip fitter second-up from the spell. Gets the services of Berry in the irons to navigate from the sticky draw and should be right there when the judge calls a halt. SNITZEL MISS (16) brings Sydney form to the picture and gets the deadly Waller/McDonald combination. Will be rock-hard fit for this and can make her presence felt. CRASH THE PARTY (12) has placed four of six overall including one over this seven-furlong journey. Include from the favourable draw. The well-related AGRAFFE ROCKET (2) (half to G2 winner Paris Dior and G3 winner Queen Of Dragons) narrowly went down at Randwick on debut and gets a jockey upgrade in the form of Rawiller. Watch for sharp improvement. HIT THE SWITCH (6) makes some appeal despite the wide draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 10,16,12,2. |

EXPERIENCE GOLD COAST MAGIC MILLIONS RISING STARS 3YO & 4YO Fillies & Mares Class 4 Plate 1300m
Mamushka to go to the lead at a genuine tempo. SOUTHERN HEIRESS (11) returned in good order with a close-up second at Randwick and will have derived a stack of benefit from that hit-out. Gets gun hoop McDonald in the hot seat and can improve enough to take this out. SCRIPTED (8) hasn't done much wrong with two wins and two seconds from four career outings with Mallyon being in the saddle for three of those efforts. Has to be included. MAMUSHKA (6) has only missed a drum once in seven career starts and will be high on confidence following that first-up victory. In the mix. YES LULU (4) will be rock-hard fit for this and must be respected out of the Maher yard. Shapes as a key runner. ALTERMATUM (10) is an honest commodity who doesn't know how to run a bad race. A must for the multiples. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning towards Southern Heiress. |

SCONE RACE CLUB MAGIC MILLIONS RISING STARS 3YO & 4YO Colts, Geldings & Entires Class 4 Plate 1300m
Fast tempo likely from Now Is The Hour going forward from out wide, with Concession joining in. The well-related NOW IS THE HOUR (5) (full to 2xG3 winner and G2 placed Inkaruna) grows a leg for hoops Jones who has three wins and a second from just four steers and has been racing very consistently this time in work. Looks the one they all have to run down. AXIUS (1) returned in fine fashion with a solid Randwick victory and Rawiller sticks in the saddle following that first-up win. Can go right on with the job now. SA galloper CASH (12) has been well in the betting in all four starts to date and where there's smoke there's fire. Include in calculations. MAYFAIR (16) is a bit hit or miss but is more than capable enough on his day. A better showing would not shock. TRUE AMOR (8) is usually thereabouts and may earn some minor money. SUGGESTED PLAY: Now Is The Hour to continue the consistent run of form. |

EXPERIENCE GOLD COAST SUNLIGHT CONSOLATION 3YO Plate 1100m
With good speed engaged, a strong tempo is anticipated. MISS FREELOVE (8) is a consistent conveyance who is yet to miss the top-four in seven career starts including placing at G3 level before the spell. Has placed two from two when first-up and should find this assignment a touch easier. Looks very hard to toss. JOHNNY (3) hasn't done much wrong with a win and two seconds from four career efforts and has revved up for this with a recent Randwick trial win. Maps ideally for this from gate three and is sure to feature in the finish. FORGOTTEN SPIRIT (11) has been right there in all four outings since joining the Gollan yard and will be rock-hard fit for this. Top-three credentials. SISSTAINABLE (9) draws poorly but is capable enough on her day. Can play a role with any luck in running. KING OF POP (1) best of the rest while fresh. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Miss Freelove. |

TAB MAGIC MILLIONS THE WAVE 1800m
Toros and Pasima to take up the running at a strong tempo.
The $500,000 The Wave. MISS JOELENE (10) was super impressive taking out the Listed Tails Stakes two back before going down by the narrowest of margins in the Listed Members Mile last time out. Boasts a win over this course and distance and has been racing high on confidence this preparation. Should be right there at the business end. SLY BOOTS (6) hit the line strongly to salute at Randwick at the latest effort and the extra furlong here will suit. Don't dismiss lightly. YOU WAHNG (12) will be better for two runs back and gets up to the right distance range now. Watch for sharp improvement. PORT LOCKROY (1) has been plying his trade in Group and Listed company of late and should appreciate the slight drop back in company here. Include from the low draw. WYMARK (3) is a last-start Caulfield winner who shouldn't be slept on. SUGGESTED PLAY: Miss Joelene to win. |

TAB MAGIC MILLIONS THE SYNDICATE 1100m
Fast pace assured with Golden Boom, Prince Of Boom and Chinqui leading the charge. The $1 million The Syndicate. PAYLINE (1) loves this distance range with three wins and a placing from five attempts and should find this a touch easier than recent Group and Listed efforts. Drawn to get a gun run in transit from gate three and his best form puts him right in this contest. GOLDEN BOOM (2) goes well for hoop Maloney who has five wins and four placings from just 12 steers. Strips fitter second-up from the break and shapes as a leading contender on best form. SPYWIRE (7) is one from one over this track and trip and should be cherry-ripe now fourth run back. In the mix. STORM THE RAMPARTS (6) next in line out of the astute Sydney barn. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Payline. |

TAB MAGIC MILLIONS SUNLIGHT 3YO Plate 1100m
Hot pace certain with Ice Kool, Swordplay and North England keen to take up the running.
The $3 million Sunlight 3YO Plate. GRAFTERBURNERS (2) hasn't put a hoof wrong this campaign stringing three wins together on the bounce and is racing in a rich vein of form. Boasts a win around this circuit, draws low and gets gun jock McDonald in the saddle. Plenty to like about his prospects. ICE KOOL (5) has put back-to-back wins together to start the career and looks to have a bunch of upside. Can bring up the hat-trick here. AKAYSHA (7) is yet to miss the top-four in seven career efforts and has tuned up for this with a recent trial placing. Draws the inside marble and shouldn't be underestimated. SAVVY HALLIE (6) is a G2 winner who is yet to run a bad race in seven outings. Has to be included. The well-related SWORDPLAY (9) (full to 4xG3 winner and G2 placed Recommendation) best of the rest in a cracking contest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Grafterburners to continue the picket fence. |

RACING QUEENSLAND MAGIC MILLIONS QTIS OPEN 1300m
Moderate tempo with Ready To Schipp leading the way.
The $1.5 million QTIS Open. YELLOW BRICK (1) resumes here but had been racing in much sterner company when last in work and should find this assignment a touch easier. Tuned up for this with two strong trial wins and the booking of McDonald in the saddle is key. Goes well first-up and should run a big race while fresh. BOOMTOWN BOSS (5) has been very competitive in all three runs this campaign and will be cherry-ripe now fourth-up. Capable of testing his rivals. JOHN RAMBO (8) is drawn to get all the favours from the inside alley and gets the reliable Gollan/Jones combination. One of the leading prospects. READY TO SCHIPP (3) has won three from four over this journey and shouldn't be underestimated. BOSSED UP (9) rounds out the selections. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 1,5,8,3. |
