Eagle Farm Race 7

Magic Millions Digital Plate (C1)

Stake: $44,080

SWAG (11) rates well but has an awkward gate to contend with. There was a stack of merit in his 3L defeat from a wide gate in a rich Magic Millions Maiden Plate at the Gold Coast, followed by an easy short-priced Maiden win at the track, where he led all the way over 1400m. Ben Thompson stays aboard and he can take the next step with average luck in running. PROMINENT LAD (6) is third-up and brings close-up placings from The Sunshine Coast and Doomben last time. Steps up to the mile and KWT replaces the 3kg apprentice. Has an inside barrier and will get every chance to post his second win. POSSIBILITIES (12) built on her easy Maiden win with a 1L defeat over this trip in stronger at Doomben. Has an inside gate and a bounce isn't out of the question. BACKSTAGE (1) peaks off three narrow defeats and gives every sign the step up to a mile will suit. Has the 3kg claim for a gun apprentice and will likely present late.

Last start came home strongly from last on the turn; 4th of 12 at Gold Coast Cl1-Sw on January 23 over 1400m, 0.8 len behind Vorkuta carrying 60kg at $26. The start before that won by a neck at this track Mdn-Sw January 7 over 1200m defeating Cliodhna Maeve with 58.5kg at $17. Not keen on his chances.
