Can David Hayes and Corey Brown combine to win the 2YO Magic Millions Classic with Mrs Gray? Well, it's a major talking point. Both Hayes and Brown have yet to taste MM success. Hayes has trained five 2nds and a 3rd while Brown has been a minor placer three times. Mrs Gray is expected to just make the final field for the $2 million dash at the Gold Coast. DH says: ''I was told she's 16th in order of entry and that means she just gets into the race...I think she's going to be a pretty good chance

DH says: ''I was told she's 16th in order of entry and that means she just gets into the race...I think she's going to be a pretty good chance getting to a high-pressure race over 1200 metres.' Mrs Gray, by Hayes' 2007 Magic Millions runner-up Husson Lightning, is still a maiden after three runs.

Karuta Queen's owner Glenn Williams is one step closer to capturing the rare Magic Millions 2YO Classic and 3YO Guineas in successive years after his crack galloper Safusa produced a slashing trial win at Rosehill on Friday. With Williams electing to keep Karuta Queen on ice for an autumn campaign, he and partner Viive look to have a handy replacement in the Gold Coast Magic Millions 3YO Guineas in Safusa who staked his claim with an all the way win in the Wyong Prelude on December 22.
