Two scratchings from the final field of 16 are needed if second favourite Intencion is to gain a start in the $1 million Magic Millions Guineas.
The Tony Vasil-trained colt just failed to gain the necessary prizemoney to book his place in the Guineas field when he finished a close second at Randwick on Saturday.
The three-year-old is second emergency after a field of 16 plus five reserves was finalised on Tuesday.
The barrier draw for Saturday's Magic Millions Guineas (1400m), as well as the feature $2 million Magic Millions Classic, will take place on Wednesday.
Intencion went to Randwick on Saturday in pursuit of victory but was denied by the Matthew Dale-trained Unanimously when beaten by a head over 1400m.
His total prizemoney haul of $54,050 wasn't enough to sneak him into the top 16 for the Magic Millions Guineas but on Tuesday the colt was being floated to the Gold Coast in the hope of still gaining a start.
"He's on his way there," Vasil's racing manager Sam Doran said.
"He went to Sydney on Saturday to try and win to get the prizemoney to elevate him into the field. As it turned out his second placing boosted him up the order to be second emergency."
The Gerald Ryan-trained Top Drop remains favourite at $4 with TAB Sportsbet ahead of Intencion at $5.
Magic Millions Wyong 3YO Stakes winner Torio's Quest is next in line at $6.50.
Top Drop and stablemate Schiffer, one of the leading contenders for the 2YO Classic, were floated to the Gold Coast from Sydney on Monday night and arrived early on Tuesday morning.
