Magician can do the trick

Magicain should open his account in the tipperaryraces.ie 2-Y-0 Maiden on today’s flat card in Tipperary, which is subject to an 8am inspection.

Aidan O’Brien’s colt went close against Mouteab in Dundalk last time an, if he copes with today’s heavy ground, the Galileo colt should land the nap.

Ninth behind Mooqtar on his debut in Leopardstown, Magician came home well in the Dundalk race, will stay this extended seven furlongs well and sets a decent standard.

The Pat Shanahan-trained Scotland Forever which ran loose before finishing fifth to Gift From heaven in Fairyhouse, might chase Magican home.

The O’Briens, Aidan and Joseph, might initiate a double with 88-rated Quadriga in the five-furlong opening Tipp Races A Long Way No Longer 2-Y-0 Maiden.

This Acclamation colt has shown plenty of speed in each of his three starts, failing by only a head to Yulong Baoju at Dundalk, when subsequent winner Three Sea Captains filled third position.

And, last time, he made most of the running before finishing over six lengths sixth to Karamaya in a six-furlong Curragh maiden.

Dropping back to five furlongs shouldn’t be a problem and he will hardly get a better opportunity to get off the mark.
