Queensland Oaks 2024: Scarlet Oak favourite in full field
The time-honoured Group 1 Queensland Oaks (2200m) is the headline act on Saturday afternoon at Eagle Farm in Brisbane, Australia, with a capacity field of 18 fillies set to stake their claim on the A$700,000 prize.
The Chris Waller barn has five runners engaged, with The Roses (2000m) winner Scarlet Oak opening as a +210 favourite with online bookmakers despite drawing out in barrier 15.
Molly Bloom is one of 10 runners coming through that same race, with the daughter of Ace High placed on the second line of betting at +400.
The Waller pair of Ahuriri and Mare Of Mt Buller have both garnered early support and round out the chances at single figures at +800 apiece.
The Andrew Foresman-trained Moonlight Magic (+1000) is the only runner attempting the one-week backup from last Saturday’s Group 1 Queensland Derby (2400m), with the New Zealand raider finishing 10 lengths away in second place.
Jamie Kah is set to reunite with Good Banter (+2500) for the first time since conquering the Group 3 Adrian Knox Stakes (2000m) at Randwick on April 6 and looks to get every chance from barrier five.
Meanwhile, the likes of Tutta La Vita Miss Jolene and Amazonian Lass all have strong claims despite their +1800 odds with online betting sites.
The 2024 Queensland Oaks is shaping up to be a terrific contest and is scheduled to get underway at 4pm local time.
