PRICE ADVANTAGE HISTORY
Pride of Jenni’s front running effort in 2024 came with a Betfair Starting Price of $4.78, which was better than best tote by 13.5% post commission.
Mr Brightside is looking to win it again this year, but his 2023 crown was at a good price of $6.50 on the exchange which edged the corporate average by 2.4%.
Before that it was veteran Zaaki who saluted in 2022 as favourite with a marginal edge on price evident.
SPEED MAP
Average speed expected here with Rise At Dawn leading comfortably.
Flying Trapeze may go forward to sit outside the leader. Another Wil in the trail and Mr Brightside in the 1×1.

For punters looking to get involved, smart, well-researched All-Star Mile tips can be the difference between backing a winner and missing the mark.
Held annually at one of Melbourne’s premier tracks — whether it’s Flemington, Caulfield, or The Valley — the All-Star Mile draws a mix of elite milers, public favourites, and rising stars. This makes for an intriguing blend of form lines and racing narratives that can be difficult to unpack without the right racing tips. With big crowds, heavy media coverage, and unpredictable pace scenarios, relying on gut feel isn’t enough — you need data, insight, and expert analysis.
At Betfair Hub, our team of analysts provides detailed All-Star Mile tips and predictions designed to help punters cut through the hype. We look at key factors like weight-for-age performance, recent form, track conditions, barrier draws, and likely race tempo to offer a complete picture of how each horse stacks up.

Finding the best bets in a race like the All-Star Mile requires a strategic approach.
