Australasian Oaks

Group One Betting Guide
Date: Saturday, April 26, 2025
Location: Morphettville Racecourse – Adelaide, South Australia
Prize Money: $1,000,000
Distance: 2000m

THE Australasian Oaks – also known as the Schweppes Oaks – is a group one race held at Morphettville for three-year-old fillies at set weights over the distance of 2000m.

Held in late April or early May, close to $550,000 goes to the winner of the Australasian Oaks.

The race is not an event international runners target, given the prize money is not enormous and the specific nature of the conditions, but the best local and interstate fillies battle it out for Group 1 glory.

Betting on the Australasian Oaks

The Australasian Oaks brings out the best three-year-old fillies from South Australia and the rest of the county, but form lines are imperative when picking a winner here.

The Port Adelaide Guineas has been a great indicator of form leading into the Australasian Oaks for the local horses held three weeks prior to the Australasian Oaks, but punters need to take into account the preparations of the interstate raiders.

Another strong form race to follow into the Australasian Oaks is the Group 3 Schweppervescence Stakes held a fortnight earlier over 1800m and has provided four of the past 10 winners of this race.

In the period between 1983 and 2021, just seven Australasian Oaks winners have saluted at a double figure price, highlighting just how well the market can predict this race. Media Award was one of the double figure prices saluting at a massive $61.

2024 Australasian Oaks result

3rdCoco Sun (+130)

Recent Australasian Oaks winners

  • A perfect front running ride from Mark Zahra has seen Vibrant Sun ($6.50) lead every step of the way to take out the Group 1 Australasian Oaks at Morphettville for trainers Mick Price & Michael Kent Jnr. The daughter of The Autumn Sun was coming off an impressive victory in the Group 3 Alexandra Stakes, where she came from off the speed to run over the top of the leader late, which led many to believe that she would get 2000m at her first attempt. Zahra took his filly to the front to lead from Pulchritudinous ($7.00), and they put a good space between themselves and the rest of the field, which was led by Coco Sun ($8.00) as they hit the home straight. However, as Tim Clark shook up his mount on the outside of the leader, Zahra was saving the winner for one final sprint, and she let down strong to eventually pull away with 200m to go. Private Legacy ($17.00) and Coco Sun flew home and put in a lunge on the winning post but just missed as Zahra got absolutely everything out of Vibrant Sun, recording a win by the barest of margins.
  • Ciaron Maher & David Eustace and John Allen have combined with Affaire A Suivre to take out the Group 1 Australasian Oaks at Morphettville over the fast finishing She’s Fit and Jennilala. After taking out the Listed Port Adelaide Guineas last start over 1800m, this three-year-old filly was one of the favoured runners, jumping as the second favourite at $8 with online bookmakers, and she proved it with a very strong finish over the top of the leaders in the final 100m of the event. This filly was given the “visitors draw” of barrier 16 of 16, however, Allen didn’t panic and just let her settle out wide, before making a sustained run from the 600m mark and even with all those factors against her, Affaire A Suivre proved too good at the end of the 2000m Group 1. This daughter of Astern has now won a Listed race and Group 1 race in back-to-back starts in her second racing preparation and has given Ciaron Maher & David Eustace and John Allen their first victory in the race.
  • Having only missed the placings once from her previous eight starts, the Trent Busuttin & Natalie Young-trained Glint Of Hope claimed the Australasian Oaks under a peach of a steer from Daniel Moor. Having settled midfield along the rail, Moor and Glint Of Hope needed luck at a crucial time for a run to appear. Appear it did, with the majority of the field looking to fan wide, Moor stuck to the rail and got up underneath Barb Raider and managed to keep kicking in the home straight to hold off Barb Raider and race favourite My Whisper in a dramatic three way go.
  • On the back of a peach of a ride from Damien Thornton, Toffee Tongue broke through for her maiden success in the Group 1 Australasian Oaks of 2021. Having gotten away nicely from barrier three the Chris Waller-trained filly had seemingly found a nice spot on the rails. However with plenty of speed drawn to her outside she was quickly shuffled back to the second half of the field in a tricky spot along the rails. As her rivals made their moves prior to the home turn, Thornton opted to not go around any runners and take a rails run which proved to be the winning move and it handed Thornton his maiden Group 1 success. The win would have been even sweeter, considering Thornton had to do two weeks of quarantine prior to the ride due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
  • On the back of consecutive victories in Melbourne, David Brideoake sent Princess Jenni to Adelaide for the Australasian Oaks, where she was sent around as a well backed $3.30 favourite. Thanks to a well timed ride by Damien Oliver the High Chaparral filly showed her class to pull aways from her rivals and claimed her maiden Group 1 success at only her fourth start.
  • Fan favourite Harry Coffey teamed up with Sopressa heading into the Australasian Oaks, and when the Weir runner loomed up to stablemate Think Bleue in the final 200m a victory looked assured. The horse withstood a late charge from Sheezdashing and Miss Admiration to win both the horse’s and Coffey’s maiden G1.
  • The 2017 Australasian Oaks was set up to be a math race between the Darren Weir-trained Kenedna and the Chris Waller-trained Egg Tart. It was Egg Tart who proved victoroius on the back of a patient steer from Kerrin McEvoy. Having been near last along the rails when entering the home straight McEvoy had to thread the needles in a few gaps throughout the straight whilst Kenedna stuck to the rails. With 50m to go it looked to be Keneda’s Oaks, but Egg Tart launched late to claim victory on the line in dramatic fashion.
  • Abbey Marie was a $7 shot in the betting heading into the 2016 incarnation of the race, but was not completely discounted in the market. Abbey Marie settled midfield and was produced into the straight, and the filly did the rest.
  • Delicacy is a name that a lot of Western Australian punters would have recognised heading into the 2015 running of the Australasian Oaks, but unless you are a hardcore form-follower, you might not have known the gun filly. The display it put on to come from midfield and win by more than a length hard held showed what was to come for the West Aussie product.
  • May’s Dream came into the Oaks as a short $3.20 favourite, and the exciting filly justified the odds, but not in the fashion most were expecting. The She’s Archie product found a gap very late in the piece and hit the front in the final stages of the race to just hold on by less than a head.
  • They say it does not matter how you get there, it just matters that you are first past the post, which is an apt way to describe Maybe Discreet’s win in the Australasian Oaks. In what was the slowest running of the race in almost 20 years, the filly led the field at the turn and quickly gapped its rivals to win as a $6.50 shot.
