Magic Million 2YO Classic favourites Assail and Clevadude have met with contrasting fortunes in yesterday’s barrier draw.
The Clarry Connors-trained Sydney filly Assail has drawn the inside barrier (Barrier 1) and has tightened her grip on favouritism for the $2 million race on Saturday, whereas Melbourne raider Clevadude has drawn out in barrier 18.
A field of 16 with five emergencies has been declared for the Gold Coast feature.
