Michael Freedman‘s flying Sydney visitor Apocalyptic is a dominant favourite heading south and chasing back-to-back Group 1 wins for the punters in the Thousand Guineas 2025 on Caulfield Cup Day.

A dozen of the season’s top middle-distance fillies face off in a good edition of the Group 1 $1.5 million Thousand Guineas (1600m) over the Caulfield mile this weekend with Apocalyptic fresh off her Princess Series three-peat looking to extend her picket fence.

The bonny daughter of Extreme Choice remains lightly raced with all the upside and has already bagged two Group 2 victories along with an elite level win over the distance further north this campaign.

She barely broke a sweat saluting in the Group 1 Flight Stakes at Randwick on Epsom Day a fortnight ago and looks to have plenty left in the tank as she chases a rare double.

Global Glamour (2016) was the last filly to win the Flight Stakes – Thousand Guineas double, and the money is firmly on Apocalyptic to be the next.

Hoop of the hour Mark Zahra comes aboard in place of Tommy Berry and from gate four they will land in a lovely spot making the favourite hard to beat.

Apocalyptic pays $2.10 in the latest Thousand Guineas odds at Ladbrokes.com.au, and the last favourite to salute in the race was Flit ($2.35 in 2019).

The danger occupying the second line of Thousand Guineas betting this spring at $5.50 and the only other single figure hope is Ole Dancer for Peter Moody & Katherine Coleman.

Jumping from barrier five with Blake Shinn continuing associations, the Ole Kirk filly is a two-time winner from four starts having her maiden Group 1 run on the weekend.

She comes off the Melbourne form lines having placed second in a photo thriller in the Group 2 Thousand Guineas Prelude at Sandown on September 27 and looks set to enjoy the step up in distance now.

The Thousand Guineas Prelude winner Ferivia meanwhile looks at a generous price to do the double for the first time since Irish Lights (2009) paying $14 for Saturday’s feature.

The Phillip Stokes trained daughter of Astern is well bred and drawn a dream in gate three for the Group 1 Lachlan Neindorf sticking aboard.

Putting together a lovely record now she comes in a three-time winner from five starts including her Group 3 Quezette Stakes victory over My Gladiola first-up in mid-August.

While the Prelude hasn’t always proved true for the big grand final, the fact she carted 58kg to victory and drops now to 56kg against a small field is favourable, and she’s every chance to make up late ground and challenge.

Another coming off a lead-up run looking to keep the turf triumphs coming is the Danny O’Brien trained Getta Good Feeling.

The daughter of So You Think ran down the front running Just A Journey to claim Flemington’s Group 2 Edward Manifold Stakes (1600m) on Turnbull Day and looks a genuine chance to go back-to-back now sticking at the same distance from gate two with Billy Egan in the saddle once more.

Three-time Thousand Guineas winning trainer Chris Waller chases another win in the event which he last won in 2023 with Joliestar – a key contender to take on Hong Kong superstar Ka Ying Rising in Saturday’s $20 million The Everest – and he saddles-up one of the other best in the markets with Karinska paying $11 for an upset.

The Spirit Of Boom filly has won just one of her seven starts to date but put the writing on the wall for a good run having gotten out to a suitable mile distance in the Flight Stakes to run out of her skin for third at 25/1.

The 2025 Thousand Guineas is set to run as Caulfield Race 7 at 3:45pm (AEDT) on Saturday’s 10-race Melbourne card.
