• #8 Safusa from #14 Happy Hussy, #1 Biggles and #13 Playtime – Bet now at Luxbet

Based on the above the Races.com.au team believe the bookies have the odds right and race favourite Safusa, although untested at the distance, will be hard to beat.

The form of $6.50 second elect Happy Hussy also cannot be ignored and she will run a close finish while to finish off the winning Magic Millions Guineas trifecta this year we like proven 1400 metre performer Biggles.

Also, she can’t win but she does know how to place, to us Todd Austin’s Foreplay filly Playtime in barrier three is just outside of these top three and can add value to first four bets placed at Luxbet.

Whether you want to lock in our selections or your own on the Gold Coast Magic Millions Guineas, the place to go for all the hottest race odds is Luxbet.
