Australasian Oaks

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, $500,000 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.

Best Australasian Oaks bookmakers

The Australasian Oaks is a group one race which has an entire day in South Australia dedicated to it, so as you would expect the bookmakers come nice and early to the party for this one.

The runners that will nominate for the race are usually pretty cut and dry given the criteria for entry, so online bookmakers are able to get their prices in pretty quickly for all-in markets.

Tote prices and other Fixed Odds markets tend to open when the race is two to three days away.

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 eight 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.

2021 Australasian Oaks result

Recent Australasian Oaks winners

• 2022: Glint Of Hope claims Group 1 Glory
  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.
• 2020: Toffee Tongue Breaks Her Maiden In Fine Style
  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.
• 2019: Jenni Shows She is The Princess Of The Australasian Oaks
  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.
• 2018: Coffey registers first G1 win with Sopressa
  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.
• 2017: Egg Tart wins glorified match race
  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.
• 2016: Abbey Marie wins with ease
  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.
• 2015: Delicacy wins it for the west
  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.
• 2014: May’s Dream salutes as a short-priced favourite
  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.
• 2013: Maybe Discreet wins snail’s paced Oaks
  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.
