Best VRC Oaks 2019 Tips

Australia’s leading Group 1 race for three-year-old fillies is the VRC Oaks.

Run over the long 2500 metres distance at Melbourne’s Flemington Racecourse on Oaks Day, or Ladies Day as it has become commonly known among the fashionistas, is traditionally held on the third day (Thursday) of the Melbourne Cup Carnival.

In a history running parallel to the prestigious Melbourne Cup, the VRC Oaks was first run way back in 1861. The Oaks was originally run over the imperial 12 furlong distance, before being extended to the current 2500 metre distance in 1973. Prizemoney for the event has been raised the a very healthy $1 million for the 2019 version of the race.

This year’s VRC Oaks best chances to score yourself a potential return are;

• Best Bet – If she runs out the journey, Flit (Bet Now: $12.00) could win. Without genuine stayer’s pedigree, however, there is enough stamina in her bloodlines for her to potentially run out the 2500 metres of the Oaks. Do that, and Flit could have too much class for the other runners.
• Best Value Bet – Moonlight Maid – (Bet Now: Win $4.20 Place $1.80).Lightly raced, but class filly that enjoys the wide open spaces of Flemington as evidenced by her victory in the Group 2 Edward Manifold Stakes.

• Best Outsider/Roughie – Song Brocade – Good each way shot (Bet Now: Win $19.00 Place $5.50) Filly worth an each way punt for her brave effort when fifth behind Gamay in the Ethereal Stakes. Ever improving and the Oaks 2500 metre distance should suit her.
