| James Boag's Premium Aust Oaks G1 3F OPEN ($1,114,500), 2400m 2:36.27 | |
| Race Synopsis: Bonneval followed up her New Zealand Oaks (Gr 1, 2400m) win with an impressive staying effort in taking out a significant Oaks double with an outstanding win here. She travelled well back in tenth place, behind a solid pace before improving nearing the 600m. She went to a distant fourth on straightening, got to the front at the 100m and then raced away to win decisively. Perfect Rhyme was a handy fourth on the rails before getting along the inner at the 800m and went to a distant second shortly afterwards. She got the better of the leader (Lasqueti Spirit) and went to the front at the 200m and then fought on for a very good second in the best performance of her eight-start career. The VRC Oaks (Gr 1, 2500m) winner Lasqueti Spirit was back in eighth place in the early stages before making a move to take over her favoured front-running role on passing the 1600m. She held a big break at the 600m and then fought on well to hold third. Harlow Glow raced back in seventh place, one off the rails, went to a distant fourth at the home turn and then battled on quite well for fourth, albeit beaten 12 lengths. | |
