Utilizing barrier one to secure second in the run, Magic Dancer went forward in the middle of a three-way line on the pace inside the 600m and after travelling under a nice hold turning for home she had the race in safekeeping at the 250m and was allowed to coast home over the final stages.

Awkward throughout, Our Rokkii went up three wide to force the issue at the 600m and once balanced in the straight he ran on to fill second comfortably.

Third placed Girlsarebackintown was last at the 800m, tracked up near the rail and once through a gap at the 200m she ran on nicely for third.

Enshrine was back in the field early, improved to be three wide in sixth at the 600m and she fought on tenaciously in centre track for (5.9 lengths) fourth.

Phoenix Park 2yo Classic (G3)

Age: 2yo Type: OPEN

The G3 juvenile event was solidly enough run and saw the filly Magic Dancer bolt in for Team Rogerson, who also had the favourite in the race Halleloojah that flopped badly. Magic Dancer won her debut on a bog so is showing versatility and gives her sire Rip Van Winkle a boost in New Zealand. She was sitting second and letting her male stablemate Halleloojah set the pace but when another rival challenged for the lead across the top her rider had no choice but to attack as well. The filly was in between the leading trio and then shot clear at the 200m to defeat the one that attacked three-wide for the front and forced her hand in Our Rokkii. Girlsarebackintown ran on late for third after settling down in the rear trio and should win a race this season. Enshrine also found the line late after being tightened early and settling back and she should pay a dividend soon after finishing fourth in all her starts so far. The possible G1 juvenile player in the two races held at this level in a New Zealand a season only looks like being Magic Dancer from this field. She has the added plus of being able to handle wet ground and come the autumn the tracks are likely to be rain-affected.
