Latest Odds & Tips for the TAB Everest 2025
So the Hong Kong superstar, Ka Ying Rising, is over and ready to try to climb the Everest 2025. He remains a very very short favourite at about $1.60 which given he is the best sprinter in the world on ratings should be no surprise but… that looks an unattractive price given the quality of the field which he will be up against.
Joliestar has come back in top class order for trainer Chris Waller and Jimmysstar is showing improvement with each run in this campaign. Currently at about $11 if there is a decent tempo to this year’s renewal we can expect to see him charging him late.
Briasa and Lady Shenandoah along with Private Harry, Angel Capital and Overpass have all been confirmed for the race. Stay tuned to find out what the final field will be in the coming week as slot holders finalise their runners.
The 2025 Everest Draw & Latest Odds
Sydney is ready for this year’s $20 million TAB Everest (1200m) at Royal Randwick, after the barrier draw went off in a cracking drone show over the Harbour.
While Hong Kong star Ka Ying Rising landed gate 7 and firmed straight in from $1.75 to $1.60 there’s one runner we have identified that’s really shaping as the value play – War Machine.
Drawn in barrier 4, the Stradbroke winner looks perfectly placed to enjoy the genuine tempo expected up front. The 1400m form under his belt is a big tick, and with a clean jump and the right run, he should be going very close.
Another fancied runner Jimmysstar, who’s got a bit of a task from gate 11 drifted out to $10 after the draw, having been $7 second fav. Elsewhere, Chris Waller’s team of three have drawn to get every chance – Angel Capital (3), Joliestar (5) and Lady Shenandoah (6) all slotting in nicely. Joliestar was tightened into $7.50 and clear second favourite.
Tempted, the lone 3YO in the race, will jump from barrier 1 and carries just 51kg. Magic Time was the most unfortunate horse and is out in the carpark in barrier 12.
All in all, it’s shaping up as a ripping edition of The Everest – but if you’re looking beyond what we expect to be a very short favourite, War Machine looks like the one ready to pounce should the star from Hong Kong have any chinks in his armour.
