2025 Magic Millions Maiden Plate Tips
Stay tuned for our insider Magic Millions Maiden Plate 2025 Tips on the summer showdown this January.
- To Win: #12 Volatile ($4.40 at time of publish) – BET NOW
Race favourite and market mover in the first Volatile is trained by Peter Snowden and has been solid without success. He looks well-placed to run a strong race in the Magic Millions Maiden Plate to kick off the card at the Gold Coast this Saturday. In his second start, he finished third in the Inglis Golden Gift despite encountering traffic problems in the straight. Importantly, the form from that race has proven strong, with six subsequent winners emerging. Volatile has had a lengthy break since that run, allowing him time to develop and mature. His recent trial win was impressive, suggesting he’s ready to produce a career-best performance. With Tommy Berry in the saddle, Volatile should be able to settle just off the pace and unleash a strong finish.
