The Golden Slipper is one of the most sought after two-year-old races and takes place at Rosehill card on Saturday.

Tempted heads a competitive market for the 2025 Golden Slipper, but who will win the $5million prize?

2025 Golden Slipper Tips

Best Bet - Wodeton

Did he have his chance in the Todman Stakes? Yes, although you could've sworn that Wodeton finished alongside the ambulance if going off the post-race commentary.

That runner-up finish got the Coolmore colt into the Golden Slipper and there's no doubting that he'd be a short market elect here had he launched a fortnight ago.

Admittedly, the confidence levels aren't as high after the brilliant debut and unlucky Silver Slipper tilt, but we regularly see those Chris Waller runs before a grand final.

Winkers go on Wodeton for his Golden Slipper assignment and while it's perhaps a year that lacks an absolute standout, he's still the number one seed.

Next Best Bet - Rivellino

Rivellino is an undefeated youngster who completed a hat-trick in the Skyline Stakes and Skyhook (Pago Pago winner) was runner-up in that March 1 event.

At his second start, the Kris Lees-trained colt defeated three subsequent winners when taking out the Inglis Millenium and Within The Law was among those.

That's the only defeat for Within The Law (won her three other starts) and with Rivellino ticking the 1200m box last time out, there's isn't too many knocks.

Wide barriers have forced their hand via the last two appearances, where Rivellino has been ridden colder, but there's more options here from gate three.

Value Bet - Military Tycoon

It's not an ideal set-up, with Military Tycoon attempting a Golden Slipper second-up at start three and she's going from 1000m to 1200m for this feature tilt.

Connections had to have a throw at the stumps, especially given the lack of quality in this Golden Slipper field and the Ciaron Maher-trained filly is flying.

Thomas Stockdale was swinging off the juvenile in her first summer hit-out before taking out her second heat and she backed that up with a slick fresh win.

Military Tycoon is still untapped and Ciaron Maher could've taken some much softer options over the autumn carnivals, so there's clearly an opinion of this girl.
