The 2025 Magic Millions 3YO Guineas along with six other Magic Millions races were abandoned due to heavy rainfall and have been rescheduled for Friday night on January 17 under the lights at the Gold Coast.
Ciaron Maher‘s flying filly Snitzanova is set to jump favourite in the rescheduled Magic Millions 3YO Guineas 2025 field this Friday evening at the Gold Coast as part of a special twilight Magic Millions Night card at Aquis Park.
One of Queensland’s biggest race meetings, the summer spectacular that is Magic Millions Day at the Gold Coast was set to feature 10 events last Saturday but only the opening three were able to go ahead.
Seven races were subsequently abandoned and will now take place on Friday night including the $3 million Magic Millions 3YO Guineas (1400m).
Updated Magic Millions 3YO Guineas odds online through Ladbrokes.com.au have Snitzanova as the firm favourite as she chases a fourth win on the trot.
She sits as the firm $6.50 top elect and looks tricky to bet against especially at a still attractive price.
Maher is a star trainer, and this is a star young filly.
The well-bred daughter of Snitzel is going great guns having won her past three on the trot interstate.
A Group 3 winner two back at Newcastle in the Spring Stakes she stepped up in grade and saluted again beating home the boys in the Group 2 Sandown Guineas over the mile in the mud back in November.
She hasn’t raced since, or trialed, so that is the only query.
But Maher knows what he is doing, and this filly has been kept fresh for a big resuming run.
The 1400m is ideal, Daniel Stackhouse continues associations, and the favourite gets the run of the race from a good gate where other exciting hopes have drawn out near the carpark.
Despite a full field, just two other runners are currently under double figures in Magic Millions 3YO Guineas betting to upset Snitzanova with Bauhinia ($8.50) out to overcome a wide alley and the Peter Snowden trained Tuileries ($6.50) drawn the outside barrier.
Three of the past four Magic Millions 3YO Guineas winners jumped from barrier 10 or wider.
Hellbent filly Bauhinia, to be ridden by Tommy Berry, hails from the Rosehill stables of Lee & Cherie Curtis and was last seen winning the Wyong Magic Millions 3YO & 4YO Stakes on December 11.
While gate 18 of 18 will be a tough ask for Tuileries, Snowden’s progressive daughter of So You Think comes in with the confidence of back-to-back wins at her latest two starts.
Snowden has prepared two of the past four champions saluting with Aim (2020) and King Of Sparta (2021) who he trained in partnership with his son Paul.
His other runner this year is King Of Roseau racing second-up as a $21 shot.
Bittercreek ($10) will carry the 58kg topweight with the son of Snitzel last seen running second to Friday evening’s favourite in the Sandown Guineas over the spring.
The Barry Lockwood trained Give Me Space is also being kept safe at $14 despite drawing far out with the in-form gelding coming off a last start upset in the Group 3 Vo Rogue Plate at Eagle Farm on December 28.
The rescheduled 2025 Gold Coast Magic Millions 3YO Guineas is set to run as Race 5 at 7:45pm (AEST) on Friday evening’s seven-race card.
