This Better Than Ready colt rose to fame last spring, claiming an upset victory in Randwick’s $1 million Group 2 Callander-Presnell. He followed up with a close second in the Group 3 Vo Rogue Plate at Doomben, cementing his form heading south. Top jockey James McDonald takes the reins from barrier seven, giving Chrysaor a strong chance to conquer the Gold Coast.

His last-start victor, Cifrado, also looms large at $6.50. Damien Thornton guides the Encryption gelding from one closer the fence in barrier six, setting the stage for an exciting rematch.

Undefeated Sydney Bowler ($6.50) adds another layer of intrigue, aiming to extend his winning streak to four under Jason Collett from wider out in gate 16. His recent commanding victory at Randwick showcases his potential.

Rounding out the single-figure fancies are Robert Heathcote’s in-form Queenslander Abounding ($7.50) aiming to upset the boys and Royal Tribute ($7.50) who is the early market mover from Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott stables fresh off a Gosford Guineas win.

With a diverse field featuring rising stars, proven contenders, and exciting form lines, the Gold Coast Magic Millions 3YO Guineas promises a thrilling battle. Don’t miss the action as these hopefuls battle for glory at 4:20pm (AEST) on Saturday.
