Classy New Zealand filly Bright Blue Sky has just snuck into the final field for Saturday’s $2m Magic Millions 2YO Classic (1200m) at the Gold Coast.

The Jamie Richards-trained juvenile has banked $50,177 in her two starts to date with that sum proving enough to gain a start, scraping in as the 16th runner of the field.

Caulfield Cup-winning jockey Brett Prebble remains in Queensland and is set to partner Bright Blue Sky, who will take on the likes of standout two-year-old Coolangatta and Annabel Neasham’s Soaring Ambition in Saturday’s feature.

Coolangatta remains the dominant $1.70 favourite ahead of Russian Conquest at $7.

Neasham just missed out on having two runners in the rich event with Swiss Exile the first emergency while Peter and Paul Snowden’s Revolutionary Miss is also on the outer as third emergency.

The father-son training partnership, who won the race in 2015 edition with Capitalist, still have a strong hand with Russian Conquest and Miss Hellfire both in the final line up.

Eagle Farm trainer Les Ross is set to have three runners with Mishani Warfare, Mishani Spartan and Mishani Persuasion all in the final field while Spanish Angels is his fourth acceptor and is second emergency.
