Greytfilly will undergo a refresher course in the barriers after a luckless defeat at the Gold Coast on Tuesday.

For the second time in a row, Greytfilly was slow to leave the barriers before finishing strongly to dead-heat for second to Magic Millions aspirant Global Dream in the Hot Tomato Ladies Day Handicap (1200m).

Greytfilly was also slow to jump at her previous start at Doomben but trainer Robert Heathcote isn't panicking and is confident the filly can make the necessary improvement before the Magic Millions on January 12.

"We'll do some work with her at the home to get her to come out of the barriers cleanly without driving her mad," Heathcote said.

Greytfilly was having her first start in blinkers which jockey Ryan Wiggins said contributed to her tardiness.

"Today was always going to be the test to see how she'd jump with the blinkers but hopefully we can sort that out," he said.

"Coming to the turn I thought she'd only run sixth at best but she just flew home and probably wins in a few more strides."

Chief steward Allan Reardon said no action would be taken against Greytfilly because the ground she lost at the start was less than the winner Global Dream, who was also racing in blinkers for the first time.

Global Dream's trainer Tony Gollan was relieved the filly's Magic Millions position has been confirmed with her prizemoney boosted to $44,000 which places her 15th in the order of entry.

"I thought she'd be in the first four but she blew the start hopelessly and was back second last," Gollan said.

"It was a great ride by Glen Colless to pilot her through the field and she'll only improve."

Global Dream has firmed from $81 to $41 for the Millions following her win while Greytfilly has eased from $14 to $18.

Wyong Millions winner Assail and the undefeated Clevadude are the joint $3.50 favourites for the Millions with B J McLachlan Stakes winner Missy Longstocking on the third line of betting at $12.
