Some early Magic Millions joy is about to come the way of central Queensland hobby trainer Julie Green.

Green, who prepares Mundi Gully, a $35 outsider for Saturday's Magic Millions Classic (1200m) at the Gold Coast, is bracing herself for the biggest moment of her life and it has nothing to do with the chance of winning a $2 million race.

Green's daughter Zoe, 18, was due to give birth on Wednesday which is the reason why the proud grandmother-to-be has decided not to be at the gala Magic Millions meeting on Saturday.

The trainer's husband, Graeme, said not even a blast of dynamite would drag his wife away from being by their daughter's side in Rockhampton Base Hospital when the big moment arrived.

"Mum is pretty well stuck to me at the moment and she isn't letting go," Zoe Green said.

"At this stage she's not going down for the Magic Millions but if the baby comes soon then maybe she can catch a late flight.

"But I've got a strange feeling the baby will come on Saturday and we'll miss the race."

Green, who has been training for only a few years, has a small team of four horses in work and supplements her income working at a Big W store.

Ironically, Green's work commitments at Big W prevented her from watching Mundi Gully win the Mackay Magic Millions last month.

The Shamardal colt's victory convinced Green and owners Ron and Bev White, who run a cattle property at Marlborough in central Queensland, to send the youngster south to take on the nation's best two-year-olds in the Magic Millions Classic.

Mundi Gully had his first taste of racing in the big smoke when he finished second on debut at Eagle Farm in October last year before returning home to score by almost seventh lengths at Yeppoon 17 days later.

The youngster was then given a six-week let-up before claiming the Mackay feature before returning to Brisbane to finish eighth to Military Rose on a slow track in the Listed BJ McLachlan (1200m) at Doomben on Boxing Day.

Graeme Green is overlooking the out-of-character Brisbane performance when Mundi Gully was slow out of the barriers.

"It was unlike him. It was the horse's fault and no-one else's," he said.

"He just bobbed his head at the wrong time and then went through the worst part of the track on the inside."

Mundi Gully had no luck in Tuesday's barrier draw coming up with gate 18 but the Greens hope it could prove a blessing in disguise.

"He's a big horse who likes plenty of room," Graeme Green said.

"He's a free-strider so the outside barrier might not be that much of a disadvantage.

"We think he's going to be a very exciting late two-year-old and three-year-old next season."

Mundi Gully has been ridden in all his four starts by battling bush jockey and former Brisbane apprentice Dennis Whitmore.

Connections never contemplated taking Whitmore off for a more fashionable rider.
