The Group 1 Australasian Oaks (2000m) headlines the action at Morphettville on Saturday afternoon, with a capacity field of 16 set to line up in the $1 million three-year-old fillies’ feature.

The Glen Thompson-trained Benagil has been installed as the $3.60 favourite with horse racing bookmakers and appears poised to peak after a bold runner-up display behind Treasurethe Moment in the Group 1 Vinery Stud Stakes (2000m) at Rosehill on April 1.

The daughter of Manhattan Rain will disengage from barrier 13, with Melbourne-based hoop Mark Zahra set to make the trip to Adelaide to take the reins.

Movin Out is on the second line of betting at and is on the one-week backup after dispatching her rivals in the Mornington Guineas (1600m) last Saturday.

The Stephanos filly is yet to be tested over 2000m, however, the New Zealand import does boast a minor placing at Group 1 level across the Tasman, finishing third in the Group 1 New Zealand 1000 Guineas (1600m) at Riccarton Park on November 16.

A bone-dry track should allow her to be a major player as Ben Melham sticks aboard from barrier one.

The pair of Cinch and Polymnia can’t be split at the t as they continue to be big drifters after opening at $6, drawing barriers 15 and 14 respectively.

You can get double-figure odds about every other runner, including the Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott-trained pair of Too Darn Lizzie and Phenom, both of which have been listed at .

The 2025 Australasian Oaks is race seven on the Morphettville program and is scheduled to get underway at 4:07pm local time.
