The Australian Oaks is set to be a thrilling battle for the 2400m crown.
Treasurethemoment, who claimed the VRC Oaks last year, will look to add the ATC Oaks to her impressive resume.
She’ll be challenged by a strong contingent, including the New Zealand Oaks quinella of Leica Lucy and Dubai Goldrush.
Belle Detelle, who narrowly won the Adrian Knox Stakes, may back up for this Group 1, while Aeliana, who dazzled in the Australian Derby, is another potential starter with James McDonald likely to take the reins.
This race will test the staying ability of the fillies, and the competition is expected to be fierce as the best 3-year-old fillies go head-to-head over the 2400m journey.
