2025 Superlative Stakes Betting Odds at Newmarket racecourse

Saturday, 12 July 2025

There are ten runners lining up in the Superlative Stakes on Saturday, with this being a competitive Newmarket encounter. This is a seven furlong encounter and Italy has been installed as the strong favourite to record a victory. This two-year-old affair will feature inexperienced runners although the Aidan O’Brien is regarded as the class act.

Perhaps there is value outside of the favourite. Saba Desert won on a debut and should be in the shake-up for Charlie Appleby, while Dorset is another O’Brien-trained charge who has run twice this term and could benefit from that experience. Wild Desert and Venetian Lace are other horses trading at single figure odds.

2025 Superlative Stakes Betting Tips

Italy is the horse who could be all the rage for the bet365 Superlative Stakes. We’ve only seen the two-year-old race once this season and that resulted in a victory by just under a length. However, it was an encounter that the Aidan O’Brien-trained charge was expected to win considering that the runner was sent off as the 4/9 favourite.

It's not an awful lot of form to feed off and the same applies to Saba Desert who is the second favourite for this race. Charlie Appleby’s charge was the 4/7 favourite when running at Sandown Park in the middle of June, with the horse winning a maiden stakes over seven furlongs on that particular occasion and there could be more to come.

Dorset has the benefit of having run twice this season, with Aidan O’Brien having seen his charge turn out twice at the Curragh in his short career. On the first occasion, the 5/1 poke was able to finish second behind short-priced favourite Amadeus Mozart, with that coming before a relatively facile success in a maiden race over seven furlongs.

Wild Desert is a Godolphin horse with solid credentials and can’t be readily dismissed. There was a victory at Haydock Park that came towards the end of May, with that coming before a disappointing second place at Newmarket last time out. Sent off as the short priced favourite, the horse was unable to oblige with a victory but could bounce back here.

City Of Troy laid down a marker when recently claiming a victory at The Curragh in early July, with Ryan Moore riding this 6/4 favourite to a win by two and a half lengths. Over seven furlongs on good ground, there was plenty to like about this charge’s performance although we’re not sure it justifies the horse being such a short price.

Great Truth was able to make quite a statement when scoring in a race at Leicester at the end of June, with the Godolphin runner claiming a victory by five and a half lengths. Sent off as the 8/11 favourite, the horse demonstrated a strong turn of foot and is now among the favourites for this Newmarket encounter over seven furlongs.

Mountain Bear looks a more attractive proposition from an each-way point-of-view, with the runner last seen winning at the Curragh when scoring in an eighteen-runner encounter. The horse was sent off at odds of 4/1 when winning over six furlongs on good ground, with Ryan Moore giving the horse a tremendous ride on that occasion.

Haatem is one of the few runners who has an official rating and Richard Hannon has seen his horse produce some smart performances, with the runner having performed solidly in the Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot a few weeks ago. Finishing in fifth place at odds of 28/1 implies that the horse has solid credentials and the runner might be able to perform well.
