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.
