The Peter and Paul Snowden-trained colt Aim came firmly into calculations for next month's Magic Millions 2yo Classic (RL, 1200m) on the Gold Coast with an impressive performance in winning here. Advancing in class after his promising win on debut in a 2yo maiden (1200m) at Rosehill on December 11, he again settled back in the field and was still eighth (on the rails) nearing the home turn, as he improved between runners. He eased into clear running shortly afterwards, raced to the front at the 200m and then drew away to score by four lengths. His stablemate Stellar Pauline, settled in seventh place one off the rails, commenced her run on straightening and kept running on well to take second, albeit without looking likely to trouble the winner. Hinchbeast was ridden for pace and soon went to the front. He then set a good tempo, was overtaken at the 200m, and then held on quite well to take the minor placing, just in front of the David Payne-trained filly Jemss who ran nicely from the tail of the 10-runner field to finish (7.2 lengths) fourth in a sound debut.
