Magic Millions 2YO Classic Tips

Proven stakes and Group status winners also do well in the Magic Millions tips each year and those with winning form over a similar distance the right-handed way of racing are also worth tipping.
The fillies have dominated the recent Magic Millions Classic results with seven wins from 2017 – 2025 – and 11 of the past 16 as of 2025 – and so looking at the in-form summer fillies is another good tip.
Coolangatta (2022), Skirt The Law (2023), and O’Ole (2025) are the last fillies to win.

- To Win: #9 La Bella Boom ($6 at time of publish) – BET NOW
Top-class field of two-year-olds engaged in the rescheduled MM Classic but have landed on the consistent La Bella Boom to beat home the boys for Eagle Farm horseman Tony Gollan. Gollan won this race two year’s back with Skirt The Law, and this nicely bred daughter of his former stable star Spirit Of Boom looks to be right up to this. She is proven at the 1200m having won at this distance at Doomben back in November and was huge fresh last start. In easier company over 1100m at the Sunny Coast she saluted by nearly three lengths. This is tougher but think she is up for the challenge from barrier 10 with master hoop Craig Williams in the saddle.
