Ambers Waltz favourite

Ambers Waltz Millions favourite

01/08/2010 05:14:08 AM

Saturday's $2 million Magic Millions Classic (1200m) is expected to be one of the most open runnings of the race in years, with Sydney filly Ambers Waltz holding favouritism at $4.50.

John O'Shea's filly may be drawn awkwardly in barrier 17 but punters favour her to overcome that and register another feature race win for Melbourne Cup-winning hoop Corey Brown.

Toowoomba flyer Spirit of Boom has also been well supported after his emphatic win last week and is second favourite at $5.50 despite the low profile of its trainer Tony Gollan and jockey Kristy Banks.

Leading Sydney trainer Gai Waterhouse has two horses in the race, with both Brightexpectations ($10) and Extreme Mover ($21) at generous odds.

The Gillian Heinrich-trained Military Rose is the only other horse under double figures at $6.

Punters may be a little wary of what looms as a difficult race to back a winner, especially after Phelan Ready scored at massive odds last year.

In the $1 million Magic Millions Trophy (1400m) for three-year-olds, another Toowoomba-trained horse, Love Conquers All ($4.50) holds favouritism, ahead of local hope Shoot out and Sydney filly Graceful Anna.
