Alan Bailey isn't getting too excited about including the Magic Millions Classic on his resume when talented youngster Five O'Clock lines up in the 1200-metre Gold Coast feature on Saturday.

Bailey would love nothing better than to win the $2 million race for the first time on his home track, particularly for close friend and part-owner Ken McDonald.

McDonald and Bailey formed a syndication company, Blue Horizon, many years ago and own a majority share of the Dane Shadow gelding with well-known racing identity Arthur Harris.

"I've known Ken for 15 years or more and he deserves to win a race like this," Bailey said.

"He's from Brisbane and is into resource recycling but I don't know much about that.

"Ken and I have been trying for a few years to win the Magic Millions but the best we've had was a few placings.

"Ken's put a lot of money into racing and has between 40 and 50 horses in work all the time.

"Any race he wins he deserves but a Magic Millions would be nice."

Bailey has had a similar long relationship with top jockey Glen Colless who has won a host of major races for the veteran trainer.

"Glen's never won this race either and it'd be nice if he could win it too," Bailey said.

Unfortunately, Bailey's confidence isn't high because of the waterlogged track which remains a heavy (10).

Five O'Clock is an $18 chance in latest Magic Millions markets with Karuta Queen the favourite at $2.90.

Five O'Clock has been one of Brisbane's consistent two-year-olds with two wins and two placings from four starts and easily qualified with earnings of $74,000.

His form suggests he can handle wet tracks after being placed on a heavy (8) at Eagle Farm last month.

"He's not that effective in the wet and I'd much prefer him on top of the ground," Bailey said.

"He only ran third in the heavy that day because he was better than the others."

Bailey is concerned with the waterlogged Gold Coast track despite aeration work to help improve three bad areas concerning stewards.

Course manager Steve Andrews breathed a sigh of relief when predicted rain at the Gold Coast failed to eventuate in the past 24 hours.

"There was no overnight rain and the track is coming back quite well," Andrews said.

"There are three areas stewards are concerned with but we've been able to do some aeration work.

"We were able to mow the track on Wednesday and Thursday and we've given it another trim today."
