| The really interesting runners in Willie Haggas' The
Magic Of Rio. The Leicester notes cover how the early debut for Waffle
might indicate a better type. Mr Haggas is an even later starter with his
2yos than Noseda normally. Until this year he had a total of 3 runs
before June in 2002-7. He has already run one filly in 2008 with Danehill
Destiny a taking winner of the Newmarket maiden that Fasliyanne ran in.
Like both Noseda & Chapple-Hyam the earliest debuts for Haggas include
a mix of ready & usable types along with the best he has. His earliest
runner in 2003 was Majestic Missile (2yo Group winner), 2005 Sharplaw Star
(Queen Mary placer) & 2006 Conquest (Group 2 winner) and Group winner
Enticing was the third out. None of those started before mid June. On that
basis we can assume Danehill Destiny is Queen Mary bound. So, why is The
Magic Of Rio out this early? If she's any good she could win this first
go but it seems more likely she's a precocious 75-82 type in the longer
term like his first runners last year.
