Rookie trainer David Pfieffer will dedicate a Magic Millions Trophy victory by Graceful Anna to his late mentor Tony Wildman if the filly is successful at the Gold Coast on Saturday.

Pfieffer has been training for only two years and has 10 horses in work at Warwick Farm in Sydney.

Graceful Anna became Pfieffer's first black-type winner when she won the Group Three Vo Rogue Plate at Doomben on Boxing Day.

Pfieffer learnt his trade under the astute tutoring of Wildman who lost a long battle against cancer in June 2008.

"I worked for Tony for 15 years and he taught me everything I know," Pfieffer said.

"I brought horses to Queensland for Tony for many years and saddled up Cinque Cento when she won the Doomben Roses and ran second in the Queensland Oaks and Charmview when she won the Winter Stakes.

"When Tony first got diagnosed with cancer a few years ago I was in Brisbane with a team for him when he decided to pull the pin and go home."

Pfieffer was working for Sydney trainer Graeme Rogerson when Wildman made a brief recovery from his illness.

"At one stage Tony and I spoke about forming a training partnership together but I went to work as a foreman for 12 months with Rod Craig," he said.

"I owe Tony a lot and if we happen to win on Saturday I'll dedicate it to him."

Pfieffer believes Graceful Anna has peaked at the right time for the Magic Millions Trophy and expects her to be sitting just off the speed despite drawing awkwardly in barrier 10.

"It's not the best draw but we have to deal with it," he said.

"She is very good out of the gates and there doesn't look to be much speed in the race.

"She'll give a ton of cheek if she can get to the lead in the straight."

Trainer Anthony Cummings is hoping his promising filly Tallow can also overcome a wide barrier to give him a winner with his first Magic Millions Trophy runner.

"She's settled in perfectly and I was really pleased with her work on Tuesday," Cummings said.

"The alley (16) isn't the best but she's fit and healthy and is ready to run a big race.

"If she gets the right breaks she'll be very competitive.

"I'll leave it to Corey Brown how to ride her from the barrier."

Tallow is a daughter of super stallion Street Cry, the sire of Melbourne Cup winner Shocking and top performer Whobegotyou.

She was stakes-placed as a juvenile in the Listed Keith Mackay (1200m) on the Kensington track in Sydney last April before scoring a brilliant win at Warwick Farm in her comeback last month.

Tallow, who is owned by Magic Millions co-owner John Singleton, booked a trip to the Gold Coast following her narrow victory over 1400 metres at Randwick on December 19.
