Peter Moody trained Fairy Oak will need to overcome barrier 21 to take out Saturdays QLD Oaks.Moody whom has had a great start to the year has now set his sights on QLD, Fairy Oak an up and coming stayer from his stable will go into the Group 1 QLD Oaks on the third line of betting although will need to overcome barrier 21 to take home the $256k winners cheque.
Fairy Oak ran a dissapointing 5th in the Doomben Roses behind Marheta but Moody feels she would have gone closer “She clipped another horse’s heel and ended up further back than was planned”. “But she hit the line well and the shift to the bigger Eagle Farm track will help her. She needs the racing room to wind up and hit her top.”
