Magnatear, Cool Jakey and Run Harry Run to take up the running at a decent tempo. The $2 million Magic Millions Cup. YELLOW BRICK (1) resumed with a strong win in the QTIS last time out and looks to have come back in good order. Has only missed a place once in four spins around this circuit and has a bit of class over most of these. Can go back-to-back to start the campaign. GETAFIX (18) is a three-time winner over this seven-furlong journey and is drawn to get all the favours from the inside alley. Brings Sydney formlines to the table and a strong showing would not surprise. The very well-related NEED SOME LUCK (4) (half to 6xG1 winner Chautauqua) may have suffered from the dreaded second-up syndrome two back before returning to winners' stall at the latest effort. Shapes as a key player. COOL JAKEY (9) next best from the astute Pride barn. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning towards Yellow Brick.
