Magic Millions Cup 2024 Runner by Runner
1. Tamerlane (16)
Classy runner but does look well placed in this field and gets the services of Shinn. Has to contend with a wide draw but lots of the main chances in this race are in the same boat. Top 3 chance.
2. Far Too Easy (21)
Will need a stack of luck from out there but is the class runner of the race and is going along very well. Major player against this lot.
3. Loch Eagle (15)
Good bounce back to form last start and well placed here to go back to back. The booking of Nash is ideal.
4. Eleven Eleven (12) – scratched
5. Zarastro (20)
Super wide draw so will need an extremely good ride but has been ultra consistent to date and has had an outstanding prep. One of the main chances in this and will prove hard to beat yet again.
6. Irish Songs (14)
Can’t have.
7. Revolutionary Miss (10)
Has come back well this prep, in form and can win again. Good chance in this winnable race.
