The Everest Form Guide
The Everest 2027 form guide will assess each runner’s recent performances, track and distance record, barrier draw and suitability to the expected track conditions.
With the race run over 1200m at Randwick, previous performances over the course and distance will be an important consideration.
The autumn’s TJ Smith Stakes, another Group 1 weight-for-age sprint over 1200m at Randwick, can provide an early indication of potential contenders. Spring lead-up races, including The Shorts and the Premiere Stakes, will also help assess horses targeting The Everest.
The complete 2027 form guide will be available closer to race day, once the field and barriers are confirmed.
