$10 million. 17 runners. Two words each. This is your ultimate cheat sheet for Saturday’s blockbuster at Royal Randwick.
From the red-hot and undefeated favourite Autumn Glow to the international raiders and smokey outsiders, we’ve summed up the winning (or losing!) hopes for every horse in this year’s Golden Eagle 2025 field in just two words because sometimes less is more when you’re chasing a winner.
Read on for the Races.com.au team’s exclusive two-word 2025 Golden Eagle form guide.

This weekend the Sydney punters will be cheering home the seventh winner of the world’s richest race for four-year-olds, but will it be Chris Waller‘s Epsom Handicap winning mare Autumn Glow finishing on top like the markets suggest?
She’s short at $2.10 through Ladbrokes.com.au to extend her flawless career to eight straight and is drawn for a good run in gate nine with four-time Cox Plate winning hoop James McDonald aboard for the ride.
So, can she do it? Or is there an upset Golden Eagle result pending from the likes of the runaway Silver Eagle hero Linebacker?
Contenders or pretenders? We’ve boiled down every runner in the Golden Eagle field to just two words so you can cut through the noise and get straight to the heart of the race.
