OPEN MARKET FOR QUEENSLAND OAKS

■ The Bjorn Baker-trained filly, Renaissance Woman, is a clear favourite with Neds Betting for the Queensland Oaks to be run on June 3, over 2200 metres at Eagle Farm.

She won the Gold Coast Bracelet over 1800 metres in good style on May 6, at her second run after a spell, and did it in good style.

Baker has a high opinion of his staying filly, a former New Zealander.

In the Bracelet, one of the biggest disappointments was the run of one of the fancied runners, in Wolverine.

Wolverine , a consistent performer prepared by Kris Lees, failed to flatter, when unplaced behind Renaissance Woman.

On the next line is the John Sargeant-trained filly, So Dazzling, who ran a good second behind the New Zealand filly Pennyweka in the Australian Oaks over 2400m metres at Randwick in April.

Before racing in the Sydney classic, she won the New Zealand Oaks over 2100 metres. She will be hard to beat here, and she has that touch of class.

Another who ran a good race, also in the Australian Oaks was the consistent Sydney filly, Fireburn.

She is a talented filly who always gives of her best, and she just missed a place in the Sydney classic.

Another New Zealand filly that has ability is Sakura Girl, trained by Ben Foote, having had seven starts for two wins and two seconds. Reports are that she has a bit of ability, and could surprise here.

Yet another from the Shaky Isles is one with leading New Zealand trainer, Tony Pike, in Cheval D’Or, who won in good rhythm, at Pukeohe, being by Almanzor.

The Irish bred filly, Premise, with John O’Shea at Hawkesbury, shows a lot of promise running a good third behind Pennyweka in the Australian Oaks at Randwick on April 8 over 2400 metres. She will have no worry with the trip here.

The Chris Waller-trained filly Super Chilled, failed to run on in the Princess Stakes over 1615 metres at Doomben on April 22, and would need to show something here.

One that does impress is the Ciaron MaherDavid Eustace-trained New Zealand bred filly, Affair A Suvre, who made it a hat-trick of wins with a brilliant victory in the Australasian Oaks at Morphettviille over 2000 metres.

This was on top of her good win in the Port Adelaide Guineas on April 15 over 1800 metres. She will be hard to beat here.

Another top Queensland trainer, Tony Gollan, gives his filly a big chance, here after her good third behind Street Gossip in the Princess Stakes at Doomben back on April 22.

Madame Odette wasn’t far away in second spot, and has worked well since.

She has had only six starts for two wins, and now a second to her record.

The Victorian based filly, Starianne, is showing promise after a big run when fourth, not far off the placegetters in the Australasian Oaks at Morphettville on April 29.

She is prepared by leading Victorian train-
