Capital Commander Top Lady at Magic Millions
Capital Commander scored a brilliant win in the $200,000 Fillies and Mares Handicap at the Magic Milllions raceday at the Gold Coast.

On the turn the horse one out ran off giving Glynn Schofield a saloon passage where he was able to hook around the leader. She soon went to the lead and finished very strongly to have over a length margin at the finish. Great excitement for a very vocal group of owners.

She will now look to the listed National Sprint on Black Opal Day.
