Traditionally run at Eagle Farm over the mile and a half (2400m), this year’s $500,000 Group 1 Treasury Brisbane Queensland Oaks field face off in Doomben Race 7 over 2200m.

Five of the fillies in the mix are currently under double-figures for the win in Queensland Oaks betting at Ladbrokes.com.au including the Chris Waller-trained favourite Egg Tart ($3.40).

A winner of her past five starts on the trot, this daughter of Sebring races for the first time since her Group 1 Australasian Oaks (2010m) win in Adelaide on May 6.

She beat a number of these same rivals in that race and Waller is confident she will go well fresh over this distance.

The danger looking at the Queensland Oaks odds online is the Australasian Oaks runner-up Kenedna ($4.80) who enjoyed a subsequent win in the Group 2 The Roses (2000m) at Doomben a fortnight ago.

To help you sort the genuine contenders from the pretenders below we look over the major Queensland Oaks form facts, historical data and betting statistics.
