Memsie Stakes 2025 Preview

The Memsie Stakes 2025

The Memsie Stakes 2025 is shaping up as a blockbuster edition of this iconic Group 1 sprint—a cornerstone of the Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival.

With a $1 million purse and a rollcall of elite talent from top Aussie stables, this 1400m race has been a launchpad for Cox Plate, Caulfield Cup, and even Everest hopefuls in recent years. Can a rising star overthrow the established champions this season, or will proven performers rule the roost once again?

When is the Memsie Stakes 2025?

The 2025 Memsie Stakes is set to take place at Caulfield Racecourse on Saturday, 30 August 2025. Run at weight-for-age over 1400m, the race opens the first Group 1 contest of the new racing season in Victoria and always attracts a top field.

Who Won Last Year’s Memsie Stakes?

Pride Of Jenni produced a stunning front-running ride to capture the 2024 edition of the Memsie Stakes, holding off a fierce late challenge from Mr Brightside and I Wish I Win in a thriller at Caulfield. The win added another prestigious Group 1 to her impressive record and underlined her versatility at the top level.

Race Analysis

Barrier draws are always critical at Caulfield—inside gates suit on-pace runners, while those drawn wide need luck slotting in. Track pattern monitoring is a must on the day.

Punters may prefer to side with proven Group 1 gallopers, but any market movement toward the lightly-raced Veight could hint at stable confidence. For value seekers, Attrition presents appeal at long odds after a strong autumn.

Latest on the Memsie Stakes 2025

It is shaping up to be a brilliant renewal of the Memsie this year with Fangirl, Antino and Another Will are all vying for favouritism in the early market. Tom Kitten, Mr Brightside and Treasurethe Moment are also prominent  in the betting having been supported.

There is no doubt that Mr Brightside will have his fans come raceday and with 9 Group 1s to his name you can be sure that the Hayes-trained runner will be as honest in the run as he always is. His first up record is also bloody impressive so don’t dismiss the geldings chances, if you’re playing in the exotics you must include him in your numbers.

Tips for the Memsie Stakes 2025

The experts at pickabookie.com.au have gone for Fangirl trained by Chris Waller. The mare has been the  model of consistency over the last couple of seasons and having been scratched from competing against Via Sistina in the Winx Stakes last weekend the mare is set to make her season return in this race. That move has certainly been  due to the heavy going in Sydney but with an exceptional first up record and a proven Group 1 winner if the ground remains good or soft she looks the standout runner in the race.
