Change Of Honour is on track for a shot at the Magic Millions, on the Gold Coast, after his win in the Sportingbet Plate at Caulfield.

On the downside the time was nothing out of the ordinary on a good track, with the second placegetter, Register, taking ground off the winner in the closing stages of the race.

In the field of seven runners Change Of Honour was the only horse that had previously raced, he had finished fourth to Too Sexy in the Magic Millions race on Ballarat Cup day.

Michael Rodd said, the horse has had an unusual race preparation, he has been working in both directions in readiness for the Magic Millions race, and he is a little confused at times.”

There was not a lot of business done on the race, the winner, Change Of Honour, shared favouritism with the third placegetter, Seriously Happy at $4.20.

The run of the race, and the most likely improver, could be Register, she was doing it all on raw talent, after racing wide for most of the trip, she made the turn awkwardly, with the race almost over before she put in her claim.

Register is about the last foal sired by Zeditave, a former outstanding sprinter, her dam, January, being by Marauding, she was bred at Newhaven Park at Boorowa, one of the great studs under the ownership of the Kelly family.
