NIC ASHMAN TIP

“STORM BOY’s rating in the Magic Millions is up there with the best 2YO performances we’ve seen. If he goes near that figure on Saturday he should be winning. His stablemate STRAIGHT CHARGE tried to lead all the way on a day where no frontrunners held on last start, watch for improvement.”
