Good luck to Magic Practitioner in his upcoming barrier trial and to Joyful Winner and Couldn't Care Less (standby starter) on Sunday. Both are 9 and this could be the swansong for either or both.
Couldn't Care Less is extremely low rated but, well, I couldn't care less.
Can't find the Taipa race but here's one of Joyful Winners great runs... he even beat Silent Witness here...
The Group 1 Queen's Silver Jubilee...
