The Magic Millions race day, postponed last Saturday due to heavy rain, returns this Friday night for a special twilight meeting at the Gold Coast. One of the rescheduled highlights is the $2 million Magic Millions Cup 2025, a handicap race promising an exciting clash of talented sprinters and middle-distance runners.

Moravia Seeks Redemption

Michael Freedman‘s Moravia remains a narrow favourite at $6.00 in Magic Millions Cup odds online through Ladbrokes. The Snitzel gelding will be looking to bounce back after a disappointing second-place finish last weekend. With a step up in distance to 1400m and jockey Tommy Berry in the saddle, Moravia has a good chance to return to winning form.

Charm Stone a Strong Contender

Charm Stone, trained by Price/Kent Jnr, is another horse to watch at $6.00 in Magic Millions Cup betting this year. The I Am Invincible mare comes into this race fresh after a tough run in Group 1 company. Drawn well in barrier two with Damian Lane riding, Charm Stone presents a serious threat.   

Redford Aims for Repeat Upset

Redford, who caused a major upset last weekend at 20/1 odds, is a potential spoiler again at $8.00. The Snitzel gelding has been in good form and could relish the return to 1400m.

Other Runners to Consider

Abounding, trained by Rob Heathcote, offers value at $9.50 despite a wide barrier and a hefty weight. The mare has a proven record at the Gold Coast, having won the Magic Millions 3YO Guineas here last year. Perfect Thought, with Craig Williams up for John Sargent, is another interesting contender at $9.50. This So You Think gelding comes in with a weight advantage and good recent form.

Open Race with Plenty of Intrigue

With several horses holding legitimate winning chances, the 2025 Magic Millions Cup is shaping up to be a wide-open race. The rescheduled Friday night format adds another layer of excitement, making this a must-watch event for racing fans.

Key Factors to Consider:

  • Horse Form: Recent performances and preferred racing distances will be crucial.
  • Barrier Draws: Gate positions can significantly impact a horse’s chances.
  • Jockey Ability: Top jockeys like Tommy Berry and Damian Lane can make a difference.

The 2025 Magic Millions Cup is scheduled for Race 4 at 7:05 PM (AEST) on Friday night.
