Futures betting is now open even before the weights and fields have been announced for the 2011 Australian Oaks on Doncaster Mile Day at Royal Randwick, Saturday April 16th.
Brazilian Pulse has got out of the gates best and is listed as favourite with Luxbet for the $550,000 Group 1 Australian Oaks to be run over 2400m.
She’s currently a $6.50 favourite to claim the race ahead of 93 other horses which still have a chance of making the final field.
In her first race this year the Michael Moroney trained filly ran second in the Group 2 Kewney Stakes over 1400m behind Do Ra Mi.
She’ll be good for the run though and will certainly benefit by the big 1000m jump in distance.
Do Ra Mi is also towards the top of betting but punters aren’t quite as confident and you can still get $15 about the three-year-old filly on Luxbet.
Some of the other big contenders for the 2011 Australian Oaks include:
Shamrocker – This filly shocked the Group 1 Australian Guineas field by storming home to a big win at massive odds over the 1600m trek. The Danny O’Brien horse will be nowhere enar those odds again and is currently $9 with Luxbet.
Southern Speed – This filly was unbeaten when taking out the Group 3 Mitty’s vanity over 1400m but had horrible luck in the Australian Guineas with a seventh placing actually a decent result. Deserves better luck at the barrier draw this time and is currently at $11 with Luxbet for the race.
Rose Of Peace – Also at $11 with Luxbet this Gary Portelli trained filly came third behind Parables in the Group 2 Surround Stakes very 1400m and is another who looks like enjoying the longer trip.
Pinker Pinker – Won a Group 2 and Group 3 back to back this year and has already made plenty of punters very happy. She is surely paying overs for the Australian Oaks at $15 on Luxbet.
As you can see at this early stage there is plenty of value on the betting markets with no shortage of returns available to punters willing to take a bit of a gamble.
