Tips for The Galaxy 2025

The Pickabookie.com.au pick for the race is, the Joe Pride-trained runner Dragonstone who has a very good second-up record and despite a wide draw he could push forward and go better than the market expects. So, the 6-year-old is the value bet on the card and considered a good each-way bet at 70-1.
