2025 The Galaxy Tips
2025 The Galaxy Best Bet - Private Harry
One of the most exciting sprinters in the country is the unbeaten Private Harry, who was freshened-up and aimed for The Galaxy after his Sunshine Coast success.
The form through that event has stood up through Lady Of Camelot, Arabian Summer and El Morzillo, while Private Harry has won two trials leading into this.
Although he has tactical speed, the Nathan Doyle-trained colt doesn't have to lead and I suspect that he could be even more dangerous on firmer ground.
Russian Revolution (2017) was the last three-year-old to win The Galaxy, but the youngsters do have a good overall record in this race (19 wins from 52 editions).
2025 The Galaxy Next Best Bet - Commemorative
The main knock is an inside draw for Commemorative, as the monster Godolphin mare does appreciate galloping room and she didn't get that space first-up.
There's always been a spruik for Commemorative and the penny might be starting to drop with the four-tear-old, who bounced back second-up at Randwick.
Coming back in distance isn't a huge negative, given she was kept at this journey via her last three efforts in 2024 and a high pressure 1100m should suit.
As an X-factor runner who carries just 51kg in The Galaxy, Commemorative has to be a contender and she just needs clear air to give this a serious shake.
2025 The Galaxy Value Bet - Lady Laguna
She almost won the George Ryder Stakes on this card last year and Lady Laguna was in career best form at the time, with a Group 1 Canterbury Stakes win the highlight.
With her previous/early form lines pointing more towards the sprinting caper, I wouldn't be so sure that 1100m would be too sharp for this return attempt.
Three of her seven wins have come in the 1000m-1100m range and while her spring was a little disappointing, she was mainly contesting strong WFA races.
Tommy Berry sticks from the most recent trial, where Lady Laguna wasn't knocked about late and from barrier three here, she can stalk the leaders throughout.
