The money has come for the fillies to go back-to-back in the 2025 Golden Slipper on Saturday with Tempted firming into favouritism for the world’s richest race for two-year-olds.
A capacity line-up of the season’s top juveniles will face off at Rosehill Gardens in the lucrative $5 million Group 1 Golden Slipper Stakes (1200m) this weekend and it is the James Cummings trained Reisling Stakes winner Tempted who sits top of the markets at Ladbrokes.
Original Golden Slipper odds on the final field had the Chris Waller colt Wodeton as the early favourite before a move on Godolphin’s classy daughter of Street Boss.
Tempted, to be ridden by two-time Golden Slipper winning jockey Blake Shinn from barrier one, is the new $5 Slipper favourite with the fillies having beaten home the boys last years with Lady Of Camelot (2024).

- #8 Wodeton ($5.50 at time of publish)
- #13 Tempted ($5 at time of publish)

Skyhook ($7) is the other best fancied with the Gerald Ryan & Sterling Alexiou trained son of Written Tycoon drawn midfield in gate eight with Kerrin McEvoy to ride.
Runner-up in the Skyline Stakes two back, Skyhook was enormous last weekend at the Slipper track and trip dominating the Group 3 Pago Pago Stakes by 3.24 lengths.
He is on the quick turnaround now fit and ready to fire again chasing a double last completed by Shinzo (2023) just a couple of years ago.
The other single-figure Golden Slipper hopes at time of publish are the undefeated Rivellino ($9.50) for Kris Lees and the early market mover Marhoona ($13 into $9.50) form Michael Freedman.
Rivellino is a colt by sire of the moment, Too Darn Hot, who is drawn a treat in gate three with Hugh Bowman coming aboard the Inglis Millennium – Skyline Stakes double winner.
Marhoona meanwhile is the filly to get behind if you want to follow the money trail with the progressive daughter of Snitzel in gate six with Damian Lane replacing Jason Colett aboard the last start Reisling Stakes runner-up.
The 2025 TAB Golden Slipper runs as Rosehill Race 8 at 4:35pm (AEDT).
