With the Magic Millions Carnival less than two weeks away, betting markets for the $3 million Magic Millions 2YO Classic and Magic Millions 3YO Guineas have tightened following standout performances over the weekend.
Magic Millions 2YO Classic: Gallo Nero’s Rise
Gallo Nero surged into contention with betting companies after a gritty win in the Petaluma Handicap at Randwick, slashing his odds from $16 to $6. Apocalyptic, unlucky not to win after finding trouble in the straight, finished strongly and is now a $10 chance. Memo, who placed third, holds at $7.50, while market leader Icarian Dream remains favourite at $5.
Space Rider stunned punters with a debut win at Eagle Farm, catapulting from $201 to $7.50, and Invincible Woman, fresh off a dominant Caulfield win, rounds out the single-figure contenders at $8.50.
Magic Millions 3YO Guineas: Tight Race at the Top
In the 3YO Guineas, Snitzanova ($6) leads the market after his Sandown Guineas triumph, closely followed by Tuileries ($6.50) after a dominant Benchmark 72 win. Bauhinia ($7) and Bittercreek ($9) remain well-positioned.
Magic Millions Sunlight: Lady Of Camelot Dominates
Lady Of Camelot is a clear favourite for the $3 million Magic Millions Sunlight at even money ($2), trailed by Arabian Summer ($4), Private Harry ($5), and the improving Vestas ($6).
As the Carnival approaches, these shifting markets underscore the intense competition and excitement surrounding Australia’s premier sales-restricted races.
