Gai & Adrian TV 17th January 2024

The Gold Coast is under lights tonight, and the weather's playing ball for the rescheduled $14.5M Magic Millions raceday.

Gai's Tip Sheet

TUESDAY 20TH JANUARY – NEWCASTLERail Position: +3M EntireNOCTUA (Race 4, 3.05pm, 1600m, J Van Overmeire, 57kg)Noctua took good improvement from her first-up run to finish a close third at Kembla most recently. She’s got further scope for improvement stretching out in trip to the mile here, and Jean will be positive from barrier 12 to try and get her forward into a prominent position towards the head of the field as she’ll be suited by a genuinely run race. It’s quite a competitive field for the level but she’s got more to offer, so with even luck in running we expect her to be competitive. FORMAT (Race 4, 3.05pm, 1600m, A Hyeronimus, 57.5kg)Format ran an encouraging race first-up at Newcastle. We knew 1350 metres would be on the short side for him and the leaders didn’t go very hard which resulted in it developing into a bit of a sit and sprint contest. However, he fought on very gamely in the straight and he wasn’t beaten too far at the line. He’s taken plenty of improvement from the run and his recent trackwork has been excellent, so we’re confident there’s a lot more to come from him second-up. He’ll relish stretching out to the mile and the expansive track at Newcastle is another big tick. Adam will be positive on him to try and go forward from barrier 3, and if he’s able to enjoy a smooth run in transit we’re confident he’ll take plenty of catching. MOSTRO (Race 8, 5.30pm, 1400m, R Bayliss, 59.5kg)Mostro is delighting us ahead of his return. We desperately wanted a provincial grade Benchmark 64 race over 1400 metres for him following his recent second trial, but originally there wasn’t one. Therefore, when this race was added to the program this week it was a no brainer and it seems as though plenty of other trainers were in the same boat as it’s a large and competitive field. However, he’s in great shape and he improved enormously from his first to second trial to win nicely at Canterbury. He’s continued on an upwards trajectory since then, and he’s a very happy gelding. 1400 metres on the expansive track at Newcastle is ideal for him first-up, and he’s run well on soft and heavy surfaces previously so the rain affected track doesn’t concern us too much. Regan knows him well and he’ll be positive from barrier 10 to try and ride him as close to the pace as possible, and whilst he’ll improve with race fitness and as he stretches out over further he’s forward enough to do himself justice and we expect him to be right there at the finish.
