The Magic Millions in January could be on the radar for talented mare Poster Girl during the Queensland Summer Racing Carnival.
							
The training partnership of Chris Munce and son Corey are yet to decide a summer target and will be guided by the four-year-old mare's performances after she makes a low-key return against her own sex in a Class Three over 1200 metres at Eagle Farm on Tuesday.
A daughter of Alabama Express, Poster Girl was given her chance to prove she could stay during the winter when aimed at the Group 1 Queensland Oaks.
But she beat only four home behind the Kris Lees-trained You Wahng in the Queensland Oaks after finishing ninth behind star Queensland filly, Philia, in the Queensland Oaks lead-up, the Group 2 The Roses.
"We tried her as a stayer in the winter for the Queensland Oaks but she had an up and down preparation after she had a couple of incidents which knocked her around a bit," said 30-year-old Corey Munce.
"I think she'll definitely run 1600 metres but we'll play it by ear and see how she goes each run before deciding what race she'll aim for if she runs on Magic Millions day.
"She's got loads of ability and she should improve after each run this campaign."
Poster Girl will go into her first-up assignment hardened by three recent barrier trials including her latest second behind the Tony Gollan-trained Time Of My Life in a 1000-metre hit-out at Eagle Farm last Tuesday.
"Her first two barrier trials were a bit below par so we gave her another trial," Munce said.
Munce is hopeful for a forward showing from Poster Girl who will clash with stablemate Southern Charm who did her early racing with Sydney's Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott.
"I don't think Poster Girl is a sprinting type but she does go well fresh and has won first-up over the distance," he said.
"She's got to start off somewhere but she's got a bit of weight to carry."
Poster Girl showed she was above average in her two-year-old season when she won on debut at the Sunshine Coast.
She later booked a start in last year's Magic Millions Classic after finishing second to the Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott-trained Storm Boy in the Group 2 Bruce McLachlan.
Storm Boy went on to win the $2 million Magic Millions Classic with Poster Girl finishing a brave sixth.
Meanwhile Munce is delighted with Southern Charm who has started six times since coming north and won at her second start for the stable at Ipswich in April.
She had two barrier trials before starting her current campaign with a last start ninth to Pre Eminence in a 1000-metre Benchmark race at Eagle Farm on October 18.
"She's going well and we got a good reaction when we trialled her recently with blinkers recently," Munce said.
"She raised the bar in the winter and was only a small margin away from getting Black-Type.
"Going to 1200 metres with blinkers on and a good draw are all positives for her." Munce said.
