Monaco Playboy out to end losing sequence

Thursday 5 February 2015, 1:43pm

Two-year-old Monaco Playboy is set to end the worst losing run trainer Trevor Miller has ever suffered at Doomben on Saturday.

Monaco Playboy gave Miller his fifth second during January when he flashed home to be runner-up to boom filly Tibrogargan Miss over 1000m at the Sunshine Coast on Australia Day.

The gelding was tightened at the start and was pushed back in the field but made up six lengths on the winner in the final 300m.

"I don't have a big team these days but I can't remember ever having such a drought for winners," said Miller, who has trained more than 800 winners alone at his home base Caloundra.

Miller is hopeful Monaco Playboy can end his run of outs in the Coca Cola Amatil Handicap (1200m).

"The two-year-olds in Brisbane are getting up to 1200 metres and that will suit a lot who have been disadvantaged at 1000 metres," he said.

"I have no doubt the extra distance from the Sunshine Coast will suit him."

He said Monaco Playboy had the ability to be closer in the run in Saturday's race.

"In all his jump-outs and trials he has shown us he can muster early speed so I would expect him to be closer on Saturday," Miller said.
