2025 All-Star Mile Tips

2025 All-Star Mile Best Bet - Mr Brightside

The nine-time Group 1 winner has contested three editions of the All-Star Mile, which includes a win in 2023 and as a $2 fav, he was second to Pride Of Jenni in 2024.

Another Wil benefitted from a softer run when defeating Mr Brightside first-up in the CF Orr Stakes and that Ciaron Maher-trained galloper is his main threat here.

It was only a narrow winning margin second-up in the Futurity Stakes, although he settled outside of a leader who dropped right out and Pericles (box-seat) was also plain.

Mr Brightside is still Australia's premier miler, while his two spring victories last campaign were both recorded at Group 1 level and over the Flemington 1600m.

2025 All-Star Mile Value Bet - Atishu

Her last win came at Group 1 level, where Atishu was successful over this track/trip via the Empire Rose Stakes and she backed that up with a second behind Via Sistina.

With decent Flemington stats (four wins and three placings from 10 starts), Atishu will have her fair share of admirers here and she was a second-up winner last autumn.

That Blamey Stakes triumph was over this track/trip and that followed a big defeat on return in the CF Orr Stakes, so there's room to improve off her Apollo Stakes run.

Atishu was still fair in her February 15 resumption, with that event producing the trifecta of last Saturday's Verry Elleegant Stakes and that form should hold up here.
