Ascot Race 6 - Magic Millions Plate
JUST TOO FLY (6) is a son of Justify on debut for the Luke Fernie barn who trialled like a good horse in his only public outing. He showed good speed in that outing, so suspect they may push forward from the outside alley. Can make an immediate impression. DON'T DOUBT RUPERT (5) is another on debut, this time for Team Casey. He showed plenty of speed and fight to win his most recent trial and he is likely to be prominent from the inside barrier. Looks to have some class about him and should be right in the finish. CASTLE ROAD (1) scored a dominant win on debut for backing that effort up as the $1.18 favourite last time out. This looks a stronger event of paper and he is giving plenty of weight away to his rivals today. Hard to knock winning form though and he'll go close. DO I FEEL LUCKY (2) can build on the solid debut effort behind CASTLE ROAD.

Looking to keep his unbeaten record intact. When well in the market on debut, favourite; won by 2.75 len at this track 2yo Swp December 7 over 1000m defeating Do I Feel Lucky carrying 57kg at $5. Last start favourite; scored a big 3.5 len win at this track 2yo W/Speed Pln December 21 over 1000m defeating Golden Opera carrying 57.5kg at $1.18. Hard to knock on recent form an should get his chance again.

Gelding by Time To Reign facing the starter for the first time. Has looked handy in his trials leading into this. Ran 3rd in a Belmont Park trial over 1000m on December 9. Has shown some ability and looks capable of performing well at debut outing.

Gelding by Winning Rupert making his first appearance. Recent trial form has been pretty solid. Won trial at Belmont Park over 1000m on December 23. Showed plenty of speed in his recent trial and will take catching.

Luke Fernie trained two-year-old colt lining up for debut. Comfortable trial winner. Looks to have plenty of class about him and will take beating.

Was well in the market at debut, 2nd in a small field at this track 2yo W/Speed Pln on December 21 over 1000m, 3.5 len behind Castle Road with 54kg at $5. Looms as a serious contender.

Lining up for just third start. At very big odds at debut, 6th of 13 at this track 2yo Swp on November 9 over 1100m, 7 len behind Talkanco with 55kg at $101. Second-up 3rd in a small field at this track 2yo W/Speed Pln on December 21 over 1000m, 4 len behind Castle Road carrying 54kg at $15. Lightly-raced with room to improve but looks tested in this company.

Two-year-old filly (Pierata - Prim And Proper) has trialled on two occasions leading into today's race. Was second in a 400m barrier trial on December 30 at Lark Hill. Monitor betting moves.
