In-form Robl sets sights on Millions

Friday 10 January 2014, 12:52pm

A treble of midweek winners at Randwick has provided Peter Robl with a confidence boost ahead of Saturday's lucrative Magic Millions carnival.

Robl made a clean sweep of the final three races at Wednesday's Randwick meeting with wins aboard New Divide, Jacinta and Our Cellardoor.

He has six rides at the Gold Coast on Saturday, headed by the Tony McEvoy-trained Bring A Ring in the Magic Millions Guineas.

"It's always good to be going into a meeting like the Magic Millions full of confidence and in good form," Robl said.

"I'm doing that so hopefully we can carry it into Saturday."

Robl will partner Bring A Ring for the first time but he has a good gauge on her form.

The three-year-old finished third to Robl's mount Forget Maybe two starts ago and the jockey holds that galloper in high regard.

"Her form is exceptional going through Forget Maybe, the Anthony Cummings horse that just beat her, and she is in form," Robl said.

"She might lack the brilliance of a few others but she's tough, Tony said she's well, and she will give a bold sight."

Bring A Ring built on her Rosehill placing behind Forget Maybe to score a narrow but determined last-start win over the Guineas distance.

Robl was booked for the Peter Moody-trained Pink Perfection in the Magic Millions Classic but the filly was named second emergency and will remain in Sydney to run at Warwick Farm

His remaining rides include Kaypers for Greg Bennett in the Magic Millions Stayers Cup (1800m) and the David Payne-trained Queen's Elect in the Magic Millions Cup (1400m).
