This year’s renewal shapes as another quality contest, featuring an outstanding mix of proven stakes winners and emerging sprinters stepping into Group 1 company for the first time.

Below are our best bet, value play, and roughie selections for the 2025 Coolmore Stud Stakes.

2025 Coolmore Stud Stakes Tips

2025 Coolmore Stud Stakes Best Bet - Tentyris

Mark Zahra is arguably the best big-race jockey in Australia, and it’s been a good spring for the gun hoop, having ridden doubles on each of the past three Saturday Melbourne programs.

He sticks with Tentyris following a second-up Gothic Stakes triumph, where the Godolphin colt produced the race-fastest closing sectionals to arrive late.

This youngster looks to be peaking at the right time, having resumed with a solid blowout effort up the straight for third in the Danehill Stakes, a race where the quinella came down the fast lanes.

Tentyris held his form deep into his first campaign, which culminated with a stylish Randwick success at start four before heading to the paddock.

2025 Coolmore Stud Stakes Value Bet - Skyhook

Skyhook felt the pinch in the fast-run Golden Rose dominated by Beiwacht, with both the freshen-up and drop in distance looking positives here.

He should’ve finished ahead of that rival over this journey when third in The Run To The Rose, taken out by Tempted — who was runner-up in The Everest.

He’s been at his most effective when tracking opposition in slowly run races, which was evident first-up when saluting at Rosehill.

For a galloper still putting it all together, Skyhook hasn’t done much wrong and was doing his best work late in a straight-track jump-out on October 24.

2025 Coolmore Stud Stakes Roughie - Legacy Bound

The forgotten horse could be Legacy Bound, a gelding who created an impression with back-to-back wins in his first campaign in April.

He made it a hat-trick when recording a workmanlike win here over 1100m on resumption in September before contesting the Group 2 Danehill Stakes.

In the worst part of the straight on the October 4 program, there was still merit to his performance, finishing just 0.3 lengths behind Tentyris.

Getting to 1200m is a positive in the Coolmore Stud Stakes, with both autumn victories coming over this trip, and he looked sharp winning an October 20 jump-out.
