Trainer Tony McEvoy is not too concerned after his brilliant filly Sunlight drew a double digit barrier for the 2018 $2m Magic Millions 2yo Classic (1200m) at the Gold Coast on Saturday.

Sunlight draw barrier fifteen out of twenty-one in the original draw but is likely to jump from gate twelve when the field is reduced to sixteen runners with three of the five emergencies drawing inside of her.
The Tony Gollan trained Ef Troop was also out of luck at the barrier draw, coming up with the eighteen marble, but could jump from thirteen while David Atkins’ two year old Jonker coming up trumps with barrier three and looks likely to move into two at start time.
