The Brisbane Carnival makes its way to Eagle Farm as the 3 year old fillies take centre stage in the Group 1 Queensland Oaks and Luxbet bookie Tristan De Luca takes a look at the market.
“An open race sees two Kiwi fillies; Quintessential ($5) and Miss Artistic ($5.50) as the current top picks in the market. They are closely followed by Scorpio Queen ($8), Dowager Queen ($11) and the Corey Brown ridden Angel of Mercy ($6.50). However, there is no doubt that the form horse going into the race is Invest at $9.50 who is coming off a win in the Group 1 Australasian Oaks at Morphettville a month ago and a last start win in Doomben Roses – the traditional lead-up to the Queensland Oaks. Local hopes come in the form of the Patinack Farm owned Pretty Pins ($31)”
“The Group 2 Queensland Guineas sees the Peter Snowden traine d Mental all the rage at $1.90 after an impressive win in the Fred Best Classic at Doomben 10 days ago. Victorian visitor Amah Rock ($9) will be hoping to turn the tables after running second to Mental in that race. It’s another Snowden runner, Free Wheeling ($4.40) and two-time Group winner Shopaholic ($11) rounding out the others in the market. Again the local hopes are confined to the roughies with Morning Captain ($31), Emmalene ($21) and the Magic Million Guineas winner, Punch On at $51”
