<h1>Goodwood 2025 Qatar Nassau Stakes Betting Predictions: Whirl is Edging The Betting</h1> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The premier racing meet on Day 3 at the Goodwood Festival on Ladies’ Day is the 2025 Qatar Nassau Stakes.</p> <p>The race is scheduled to take place in the early hours of the morning, with horses going to post at 01:05 AEST.</p> <p>It is the headline Grade 1 race of the day, and is open to elite fillies and mares aged three or older. It routinely pits the best classic generation three-year-olds against top-class older females and is always a highlight of the British summer flat-racing season.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>2025 Qatar Nassau Stakes: Betting Preview</h2> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The 2025 Qatar Nassau Stakes is run over a distance of 1m2f (2,000 meters), with five horses currently scheduled to compete:</p> <p><strong>1. Running Lion</strong> - William Buick, John &amp; Thady Gosden</p> <p><strong>2. See The Fire</strong> - Oisin Murphy, Andrew Balding</p> <p><strong>3. Bedtime Story</strong> - Jockey unknown, Aiden O’Brien</p> <p><strong>4. Cercene</strong> - Gary Carroll, Joseph Murphy</p> <p><strong>5. Whirl </strong>- Ryan Moore, Aiden O’Brien</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>‘Whirl’ is a 3yo filly from the Aidan O’Brien yard who comes in off a commanding win in the Group 1 Pretty Polly Stakes. She was just beaten in the Oaks at Epsom (2nd) but bounced back in style last time. As a three-year-old, she receives a 9lb weight allowance from older rivals, which could be decisive.</p> <p>Andrew Balding’s 4yo ‘See The Fire’ finished a close 2nd in this race last year and has since underlined her class with an easy win in the Middleton Stakes at York and a fine 3rd in the Prince of Wales’s Stakes at Royal Ascot. She brings top older-middle-distance credentials, making her a strong candidate to win the 2025 Qatar Nassau Stakes.</p> <p>The other three have been solid in Grade 1 races this season, which makes this five-horse race very interesting for betting opportunities and value.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>2025 Goodwood Qatar Nassau Stakes: Betting Prediction</h2> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>‘Whirl’ is the leading favourite in the <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/horse-racing/international/goodwood/race-4-9461023">2025 Goodwood Qatar Nassau betting odds</a> at Sportsbet, although ‘See The Fire’ is a close second. Indeed, ‘Whirl’ has the slight edge as three-year-olds have had a major recent advantage, especially those who bring strong Epsom Oaks/Pretty Polly or Classic-winning form.</p> <p>In addition, the 9lb allowance for three-year-old fillies versus older mares can be a big advantage in this race, which makes it difficult to overlook the O’Brien-trained filly.</p> <p>However, while her form is good, so is that of ‘See The Fire’. The four-year-old is extremely consistent and proven at this level over both course and distance. If ‘Whirl’ has a race in which she underperforms, then there is every possibility that the Balding-trained mare can use her experience and take control of the race if she gets off to a good start.</p> <p>Cercene has a win in her last race, winning at Royal Ascot, so could be worth a punt with an each-way bet.</p>
