Magic Tips Preview
The nation’s top mile event boasts a field packed with rivals ready to challenge, with champion LEGAL EAGLE running for new owners this season.
LEGAL EAGLE impressively extended his unbeaten mile record to seven wins, showing strong form and determination.
His old rival CAPTAIN AMERICA pushed him close in their last meeting, closing the gap neatly, and remains a serious contender in peak condition.
Stablemate SAIL SOUTH had a breakthrough season, clinching the Champions Cup, and finished a strong third in this same race last year behind MARINARESCO.
However, SAIL SOUTH seems to be outpaced by LEGAL EAGLE and CAPTAIN AMERICA based on recent performances.
GOLD STANDARD is still making a comeback following a significant setback but adds depth to the competition.
AFRICAN NIGHT SKY is an exciting newcomer at this level and definitely worth watching.
