Ascot Race 3

Magic Millions Plate

Prize Money: $80,000

COUNTRY GOD (3) has looked impressive winning both of his Belmont trials, but they have only been over 400m which can sometimes be misleading. That being said, he has a good draw and does everything right. Hard to beat. BANNERED (2) won the second of his 3 public trials at Lark by just under a length and will be ready to run a big race on debut. Watch closely. LUANA MISS (7) has been improving in each of her 3 trials and won the last of them by a wide margin. She benefits from the fillies' allowance and has to be respected. GIRLS ON FIRE (6) was runner-up behind the second pick in her latest trial and has a reasonable draw for her debut. She will continue to improve with racing and is capable of a top 3 finish here.

C H Webster trained two-year-old gelding lining up for first race start. Comfortable trial winner. Is another with each-way claims on debut.

Colt by Playing God from City Circle on debut. Lining up after an easy trial win at Belmont Park over 400m on December 23. Good draw will assist chances. From strong yard and rates well for this.

First starter by Playing God out of Death Knock. Has a total of two trials leading in today's debut. Would rather give him a miss unless there's a hefty move in the market.

Two-year-old gelding (Microphone - Jemerica) has trialled on two occasions leading into today's race. Won a barrier trial over 1000m at Belmont Park on December 23. Looking at others unless there's a significant move in the market.
