'TDN Rising Star' Capitalist (Aus) (Written Tycoon {Aus}) remains on course for the A$2M Magic Millions Jan. 9 despite missing an intended trial at Randwick on Tuesday morning. The Peter & Paul Snowden trained colt is favorite for his next big test on the back of two impressive winning starts including last time out in the Wyong Magic Millions Classic Dec 17. Alleviating fears that all may not be well with the colt co-trainer Paul Snowden explained to racing.com, ''He had a temperature just a tick or two above what is normal, but he's still licking the bin and feeling good. He could have trialled and if he wasn't the hot favorite for a $2 million race, then he would have had a spin around, but we just decided to err on the side of caution because of the big stakes that are up for grabs.” Snowden is not concerned with missing the trial and feels time is still on his side to get the colt to the race in peak condition. ''We've got plenty of time up our sleeve as he won't leave to go to the Gold Coast until next Wednesday,'' added the trainer.
