The Magic Millions 3YO Guineas is run over seven furlongs at the Gold Coast, with this $3 million set weights and penalties event one of the majors on a stacked card.

Previously, we have seen stars such as Gold Edition, Alligator Blood and Pierata both take out this event, so although it's a restricted affair, this race is generally of a very high standard.

Tuileries heads the betting with Betr for the 2025 Magic Millions 3YO Guineas, where $5.50 is available for the favourite.

2025 Magic Millions 3YO Guineas Tips

2025 Magic Millions 3YO Guineas Best Bet - Bauhinia

Despite spotting her rivals a start on a tight-turning circuit, Bauhinia launched from the rear when taking out the Magic Millions 3yo & 4yo Stakes at Wyong on December 11.

Bauhinia was returning after rounding out her first campaign with unlucky sixth in the Group 2 Silver Shadow Stakes and that Randwick tilt had followed a slick breakthrough win at Newcastle.

Although she has drawn out for this feature attempt, Bauhinia is likely to settle off the speed irrespective and we'll know by Race 5 if the backmarkers are figuring on this program.

The daughter of Hellbent has completed a tick-over trial since her brilliant fresh triumph and she could be the one ready explode second-up via her first try over seven furlongs.

2025 Magic Millions 3YO Guineas Next Best Bet - Yes Lulu

Given Yes Lulu was at the end of her first prep via her only previous try over 1400m, I'm willing to forgive that Flemington performance and she's furnished in her second campaign.

After getting her maiden out of the way second-up following a Group 3 fresh tilt up the straight, the Ciaron Maher-trained filly impressed when successful at Caulfield last month.

Yes Lulu came from back in the field via a race that otherwise suited the on-speed brigade and that form was franked on January 1 when Miraval Rose (third) won a Group 3 at Flemington.

All three of her older siblings have saluted at 1400m+, which includes Dandruff (2400m winner) and Jack The Lad (1600m Listed winner), so the seven furlongs appears fine on breeding.

2025 Magic Millions 3YO Guineas Value Bet - Dawn Service

We were happy to oppose Dawn Service via his Randwick return on December 21, where the three-year-old was disappointing via fifth-of-eight finish and he was a big drifter in the market.

While he was always likely to improve from that fresh run, with that effort a blowout ahead of the Magic Millions, it's also worth noting that a slow recovery was detected post race.

The son of Justify was a big improver second-up following a debut third, where the colt ran very good time in a Hawkesbury romp and he then ran into a smart Autumn Glow at Rosehill.

The first foal from Sunlight (three-time Group 1 winner), Dawn Service was a stakes winner over this trip in Melbourne last prep and he hasn't been out of the money in four tries on soft ground.
