Aloisia Heads Australian Oaks 2018 Nominations

Aaron Purcell’s highly-rated filly Aloisia is one of the headline 2018 Australian Oaks nominations taken this week ahead of ‘The Championships’ Day 2 showdown.

Official entries for all the major Royal Randwick races scheduled for April 7 and 14 closed on Monday, including those for Group 1 $1 million James Boag’s Premium Australian Oaks (2400m).

The ATC Oaks nominations drew 148 three-year-old fillies, up 20 from this time last Sydney Autumn Racing Carnival.

Futures Australian Oaks betting at bookies around the country currently have Azamour filly Aloisia as the early favourite despite her mid-field sixth to Pinot at Flemington last start in the Group 1 VRC Oaks (2500m) back in November.

She was the beaten odds-on favourite in the Melbourne Cup Carnival clash having earlier defeated one-time Derby favourite Cliff’s Edge by three and a half-lengths in her lead-up start in the Group 2 Moonee Valley Vase (2040m).

Still, the punters are tipping her to return to form this time in including being tested over the mile and a half again in the Australian Oaks.

The VRC Oaks winner Pinot was a notable omission from the Australian Oaks entries, but the training duo of Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott are still in the mix with 11 nominees.

Co-trainer Waterhouse has won three previous Australian Oaks, most recently in 2010 with Once Were Wild.

The best of the VRC Oaks graduates looking for a win in the Sydney equivalent this autumn are the Tony McEvoy-trained runner-up Bring Me Roses, Mick Price’s third placegetter Hiyaam and the fourth-placed Luvaluva prepared by John Sargent.

Bring Me Roses also holds a nomination for a shot against the older mares in the Group 1 $1 million Queen Of The Turf Stakes (1600m) on the same day and is also entered for the lucrative Group 1 $4 million Queen Elizabeth Stakes (2000m).

Premier Sydney horseman Chris Waller meanwhile prepared the 2013 ATC Oaks winner Royal Descent and has five nominees for 2018 led by the ultra-consistent Unforgotten who won three on the trot in Sydney last time in.

Last year’s Australian Oaks winner was the NZ Oaks champ Bonneval (2017) prepared by Murray Baker & Andrew Forsman.

Baker & Forsman are back this autumn looking for successive wins in the race with the currently unraced duo of Marcellina and Milseain.

Other notable ATC Oaks nominated fillies this season include Lindsay Park’s lightly-raced Earth Angel, her well-bred stablemate Rimraam who has form around the top of this crop in the spring and the untapped Kris Lees-trained Yulong Xingsheng.

The ATC Australian Oaks first acceptances close on Tuesday March 13, 2018.
