Pre-race favourite Assail has been scratched from the Magic Millions with a foot abscess.
The Clarry Conners-trained filly had been the best supported runner in Saturday’s $2 million race at the Gold Coast with Clevadude now heading the market.
Conners told Sky Sports Radio the abscess was found on Saturday morning.
The Magic Millions is the richest race of the Australian summer and is restricted to graduates of the sales company.
