The wins of Hang and Amanaat at Ipswich on Wednesday took Currie to fourth in the metropolitan premiership with 10 winners and both are headed to Saturday racing.

In the meantime, Currie has a strong hand on Saturday at Doomben with Cantbuybetter(Open Hcp), With A Promise (Open Hcp), Girl In A Million (Three Year Old), Now You See (Class 6 Plate), and High Africaine (Benchmark 75).

Currie has rewarded apprentice Michael Murphy with the rides on Girl In A Million and Now You See.
