2025 Rose Of Kingston Stakes Tips
Stay tuned for our insider Rose Of Kingston Stakes 2025 Tips on the mares’ only event at Flemington this Turnbull Stakes Day.
- To Win: No. 2 Miraval Rose ($7 at time of publish) – BET NOW
MIRAVAL ROSE (2) is starting to get a little love from the punters and firm in the markets for the Rose Of Kingston Stakes, and I’m happy to follow the money on this talented Grunt mare. Grahame Begg’s five-year-old gets up to 1400m now third-up and fit with a good record over the distance (4:2-0-1). After a third to subsequent Group 1 Sir Rupert Clarke fourth placegetter Angel Capital in the Listed Chautauqua Stakes, she got her confidence back with a good win in a mares’ only SW+P clash at Caulfield over 1200m. Coming back from 57kg to 56kg, up to her pet trip and drawn barrier two with Jordan Childs sticking with. She’ll likely pop straight to the front and after boxing on well last time out I think she can go back-to-back now.
2025 Rose Of Kingston Stakes Field
The Rose Of Kingston Stakes field usually attracts some very well experienced mares out of lead-up races including the Group 3 How Now Stakes (1200m) or Group 2 Let’s Elope Stakes (1400m) the month before.
Life Lessons (2nd in 2023) was the last Let’s Elope Stakes graduate to back-up and win the Rose Of Kingston Stakes.
The Rose Of Kingston Stakes 2025 field and barrier draw will be released by Racing Victoria on the Wednesday of race week and will be listed in full below once out.
The 2025 Rose Of Kingston Stakes final field features a smart line-up of potential Empire Rose Stakes bound mares including Miraval Rose coming off a lead-up win at Caulfield and progressive Fastnet Rock four-year-old On Display racing third-up and fit.
