Autumn Glow heads the EliteBet market at $2.50 for the 2026 Champions Mile after establishing herself as one of Australia's premier weight-for-age performers.
While she tasted defeat for the first time when stepping up to 2000m in the Queen Elizabeth Stakes, a return to the mile is expected to see her firmly back in her comfort zone.
Sheza Alibi is on the second line of betting at $4.60 after a sensational autumn campaign that culminated in a dominant Doncaster Mile victory carrying just 49kg.
The daughter of Saxon Warrior continues to improve with every preparation and shapes as one of the most exciting gallopers in Australia heading into the spring of 2026.
Autumn Boy and Pride Of Jenni share the third line of betting at $8.
Autumn Boy is a dual Group 1 winner, having claimed the Caulfield Guineas and Rosehill Guineas, while the four-time Group 1 winner Pride Of Jenni remains one of the country's most exciting front-runners and is capable of producing her best over the mile.
Ceolwulf, Jimmysstar, Mr Brightside and Treasurethe Moment are all quoted at $11, underlining the depth of the early betting.
Ceolwulf is a dual King Charles III Stakes winner who claimed last year's Champions Mile, Mr Brightside has long been among Australia's elite milers, Jimmysstar is a three-time Group 1 winner, while Treasurethe Moment has showcased her versatility since winning both the VRC Oaks and Australian Oaks as a three-year-old.
With a host of proven Group 1 stars and emerging talent already prominent in betting, the 2026 Champions Mile is shaping as one of the standout features of the Melbourne Spring Carnival.
