While Ka Ying Rising is clearly the one to beat, there's no hurry to climb into the short early odds this far out with the Hong Kong champion and the main Australian chances are also well found.

2025 The Everest Tips


2025 The Everest Value Bet - Skybird

Her autumn ended after a brilliant return victory in the Black Caviar Lightning, where a pectoral injury was sustained.

Instead of an Adelaide and/or Brisbane campaign, connections have opted to spell Sky Bird with the 2025 spring in mind.

The Mitchell Freedman-trained mare looked a star in the making early, with a hat-trick to open her account over the spring of 2023.

While Skybird saluted over a mile at Group 2 level as a three-year-old, she's likely to focus on the sprinting caper going forward.
2025 The Everest Roughie - Nadal

Keeping Nadal to sprint trips is the key, with the 1400m of the Supernova being one run too many in December.

A return to firmer ground had the four-year-old improving after a half-length loss to open his spring campaign in a strong BM78.

Nadal won two of his next three starts (arguably should've been a hat-trick) and his brilliance was on display at 1100m-1200m.

He received a big ratings spike when taking out The Meteorite at Cranbourne and the son of Xtravagant does have X factor.
