Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted Monday at 03:03 AM Journalists Share Posted Monday at 03:03 AM Magic Time overhauls Amenable to claim the 2024 Group 1 All Aged Stakes at Randwick. Photo: Bradleyphotos.com.au Grahame Begg is confident that star mare Magic Time is primed to go back-to-back in the Group 1 All-Aged Stakes (1400m) at Randwick on Saturday. The five-year-old resumed in style with victory in the Group 2 Expressway Stakes (1200m) earlier this prep and has since added a third in the Group 1 Canterbury Stakes (1300m) and a solid sixth placing in a high-class Group 1 TJ Smith Stakes (1200m). “She ran very well,” Begg told Racing.com of her TJ Smith run. “She drew barrier one and it probably wasn’t the right gate for her.” A dual Group 1 winner, Magic Time claimed last year’s All-Aged Stakes and added the Group 1 George Ryder Stakes (1400m) to her resume in the spring. Begg believes she’s in even better condition this time around. “Her form is very good,” he said. “She won a Group 2, ran third in a Group 1 and got beaten a length-and-a-half in an extremely strong edition of the TJ Smith.” Victory on Saturday would see Magic Time claim a third Group 1 win at 1400m – a distance that clearly brings out the best in her.
