Tony Gollan is following a proven formula with Itchintogo in the Magic Millions 2YO Classic (1,200m) at Gold Coast on Jan 17.
Six of the past 15 winners of the A$3 million (S$2.58 million) Listed feature have raced on the seven-day backup, despite only accounting for just 16 per cent of the total runners.
Itchintogo, who was an A$60,000 purchase at the 2025 Gold Coast March Yearling Sales, was an easy 4.6-length winner of the Gold Nugget (1,100m) at the Gold Coast on Jan 10.
It was a run that Gollan said he needed to have.
