Early season two-year-olds will step out this Thursday, 2 October, at the Caulfield Spring Trials presented by Magic Millions, with 800m 2YO heats following the opening trial for Group performers at 7:30am on the Caulfield Heath.
Among the youngsters are Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale graduates Senza Nome ($18K buy and Ballarat jump-out winner for Andrew Noblet), Commit ($90K purchase for Mick Price & Michael Kent (Jnr), Face The Wild ($150K buy for Tony & Calvin McEvoy), and Adelaide graduate Got Tickets ($50K for Emma-Lee & David Browne) - being aimed towards the Listed Magic Millions Debutant Stakes (1000m) at Schweppes Caulfield Social on Wednesday, 15 October.
All eyes will be on Marbles, a $675K Gold Coast Yearling purchase for Sheamus Mills with Mick Price & Michael Kent (Jnr) - the same combination behind Group 1 winner Charm Stone. By Snitzel out of Sanity (a Lonhro mare and half-sister to the dam of Caulfield stakes winners Barber and Manicure), Marbles shapes as a major prospect and is also eligible for the Magic Millions Racing Women’s Bonus.
