In contrast to the drama surrounding Fake Love and Readily Availabull in the Magic Millions Classic, trainer Desleigh Forster is delighted with Apache Chase ahead of the Magic Millions Guineas (1400m).
“His work on Tuesday was fantastic and he looks super,” Forster said.
“He’s got the one gate and it’s really up to Taylor (Marshall) and him now. We can’t do any more than what we’ve done.”
Apache Chase has an unblemished record in races at 1400 metres and beyond winning three times including his latest appearance when he claimed the Group Three Vo Rogue Plate (1400m) at Eagle Farm on Boxing Day.
“We were very confident going into the Vo Rogue especially getting out the 1400 metres on the big track at Eagle Farm,” Forster said.
“The further he goes the better this horse will be.”
Forster is confident racing at the Gold Coast for the first time will not prove a problem for Apache Chase.
“He’s pretty adaptable and not much seems to worry him,” she said.
“He jumps and puts himself in the race and cruises along at a good tempo.”
Apache Chase is at $14 with TAB fixed odds for the Guineas with the Tony Gollan-trained Isotope a $2.50 favourite.
