Due to the postponement of the last seven races on Magic Millions Day last Saturday, the remaining races will be run and won on Friday night at the Gold Coast Turf Club. The Magic Millions 3YO Classic is scheduled for race five on the program, with a full field of 18 expected to clash in the 1400m contest.
The track was rated as a Heavy 8 on Tuesday afternoon, and with rain forecast on Thursday and Friday, it is expected that the surface will only improve slightly. There is a chance of an upgrade into the Soft range on raceday.
2025 Magic Millions 3YO Guineas odds
The Peter Snowden-trained Tuileries has opened as the $5 favourite with horse racing bookmakers, leading the market over Sntizanova, who sits on the second line of betting at $6. The only other runner that is marked in single figure is Bauhinia, who is rated a $9.50 chance. Bittercreek ($10), Street Chase ($12), and Cosmic Fire ($13) all should be considered at each-way prices, following strong performance last start.

The three Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott representatives, Catoggio, Dawn Service, and Shangri La Express, will contest the lead in the 2025 Magic Millions 3YO Guineas. Cosmic Fire, Zoubaby, and Street Chase will attempt to settle in behind the top three from their inside to middle gates. Bittercreek, Give Me Space, and Bauhinia will appreciate a fast tempo as they will settle towards the back of the field from their wide barriers.

Magic Millions 3YO Guineas 2025 preview & form
Tuileries has been impressive in both of her victories after getting herself out of trouble to finish off strongly over 1250m and 1300m. The Peter Snowden-trained filly has a brilliant turn of foot, and that has been on full display in those two victories at Canterbury and Randwick. Barrier 23 seems to be the only possible problem for Tuileries, but if she can navigate a clear path, she can win again.
Much like the top selection, Snitzanova is on a winning streak after claiming victories in the Group 3 Spring Stakes and Group 2 Sandown Guineas in her last two starts. The Ciaron Maher-trained filly proved too strong for her rivals at Sandown over 1600m, and dropping back in trip to 1400m should be no problem for her. Snitzanova will map better than most of her market rivals, and that could be pivotal to her winning chances.
Bauhinia and Bittercreek are two more chances that will make their prescence felt behind a strong tempo, with both of them likely to settle toward the back of the field and finish off strongly.
