Held on Day 2 of Sydney’s ‘The Championships’, this season’s $1 million Group 1 James Boags Premium Australian Oaks (2400m) originally drew 119 nominations.
There are now just 56 three-year-old fillies vying for a spot in the capacity 14-starter Australian Oaks field including Jameka who shoots for the VRC Oaks – ATC Oaks double during her three-year-old season.
She has had two runs this time in, both in Melbourne, the daughter of Myboycharlie last seen running a credible fifth to Palentino when taking on the boys in the Group 1 Australian Guineas (1600m) at Flemington.
Jameka sits top of the pre-field Australian Oaks odds at Ladbrokes.com.au at $7, equal with Risque who also ran in the Australian Guineas finishing only a half-length third over the mile.
The David Hayes & Tom Dabernig-trained Kiwi import won her Australian debut prior to that in Caulfield’s Group 3 Kevin Hayes Stakes (1200m) and is a Group 1 winner back in NZ having won the 1000 Guineas last November.
Lindsay Park’s Hayes & Dabernig have a total of three Australian Oaks first acceptors with Risque joined by High Chaparral filly Sacred Eye and the stable’s Group 1 Thousand Guineas (1600m) winner from the spring Stay With Me.
Stay With Me is an $11 Australian Oaks hope after she ran two lengths away fourth to Le Romain in last weekend’s Group 1 Randwick Guineas (1600m) at the track, but she is yet to step out further than a mile over her 10 start career.
Also paying $11 in all-in Australian Oaks betting this Sydney Autumn Racing Carnival are the John O’Shea-trained Ambience and Honesta for John Thompson.
Street Cry filly Ambience won the Group 2 Wakeful Stakes (2000m) on Derby Day last season before her Crown Oaks third and returned on February 27 when second last crossing eighth to undefeated stablemate Ghisoni in the Group 2 Surround Stakes (1400m).
O’Shea and Godolphin also paid the ATC Oaks first acceptance fee for Teofilo filly Asinara and Seltzer who are both as yet untested in black-type company.
Honesta was a perennial runner-up in the spring placing second four times on the trot including in the Group 1 Flight Stakes (1600m) at Randwick and Flemington’s Crown Oaks over further.
She ran first-up in the Surround Stakes also but was unplaced when sixth in her third start at Randwick.
Other early fancies for the Australian Oaks this season include the Stephen Marsh-trained New Zealand raider Sofia Rosa ($13) who has won four from eight to date and who has previous Sydney race experience, and Sailing By ($15) for Caulfield horseman Mick Price.
