The Sydney Autumn Carnival has already been nothing short of extraordinary, with both local legends and international superstars lighting up the trac, but the action is far from over. Saturday’s showdown features some of the biggest races of the year, including the much-anticipated TJ Smith Stakes and the iconic Doncaster Mile. With the excitement heating up, it’s clear that 2025’s edition will be one to remember. As it stands, the Doncaster Mile is anyone’s race, with a wide-open field, setting the stage for some unpredictable and jaw-dropping moments.
Tom Kitten is one to watch, holding a well-deserved spot among the early favourites. This rising star has proven he’s in top form, with his narrow defeat to Mr Brightside in the Futurity Stakes and a stunning victory in the All-Star Mile. Though he faced a setback in the George Ryder, finishing fifth after being too far back, he’s fit, primed, and ready for a big performance. With Ben Melham aboard, you can expect nothing less than a game-changing run. Will the mile distance suit him? Absolutely and he’ll have every opportunity to shine. SKY Racing form expert Brad Gray previews the feature in the video above.
