Saluter to floor Guineas punters Jockey Damian Browne drives Saluter to victory in the 3yo Magic Millions feature on the Gold Coast. Picture: Luke Marsden Source: The Courier-Mail JASON McLachlan set his sights on today's big Gold Coast meeting immediately after his triumphant afternoon at this year's Magic Millions and he believes Saluter can again slip under the guard of punters in the Guineas. Saluter floored favourite backers when he fended off Sizzling to win the Magic Millions Guineas in January. He meets the Kelso Wood-trained colt, who is drawn considerably better, 1.5kg worse today, but McLachlan isn't running away from the challenge. McLachlan is also expecting a big fresh run from stable pin-up Phelan Ready in the Prime Minister's Cup. "I picked this day out for both of them from the day of the Magic Millions," he said. Both of them are going well. Saluter won a 1000m jumpout beating Phelan Ready up here (at the Sunshine Coast) recently and they gapped the rest. McLachlan is frustrated by another tricky draw for Saluter but he should be able to work across with likely leader Rocky King and find a nice spot near the speed. They are all saying it's a two-horse race between Sizzling and Academus. Well, anyone in racing knows there's no such thing as a two-horse race," the trainer said. I have a healthy respect for Sizzling but my bloke is building a pretty handy record himself. He's been in the money nearly every start in his life, except for when he strikes a wet track. He keeps putting in and people still underestimate him. He will roll forward again and I'm sure he's going to give a big sight. McLachlan feels the slight weight relief to 57kg is significant for Phelan Ready. "He's not the biggest horse so that 2kg can make a big difference," he said.
