- #9 Polymnia
Glen Thompson’s classy Manhattan Rain filly Benagil ($3.10F) franked the form from Sydney coming off a Group 1 Vinery Stud Stakes second to go one better and salute for the punters in the 2025 Australasian Oaks results.
Jockey Mark Zahra gave her a perfectly timed ride, cruising up wider out at the 300m before racing up to take the lead a furlong out from the line and drawing away for an impressive 1.29 length victory.

Run over 2,000 metres, the Australasian Oaks is a Group 1 race taking place at Morphettville Racecourse in late April or early May each year as part of the Adelaide Autumn Racing Carnival. It is held on Robert Sangster Stakes Day.
The weight-for-age feature offers $1 million in prize money as of 2024 and is open only to three-year-old fillies.
Group 3 Auraria Stakes (1800m) is the key lead-up into the Australasian Oaks and Sopressa (2018) was the last filly to do the double.
Fillies may also contest the Australasian Oaks off a Group 1 ATC Oaks (2400m) run in Sydney, with Toffee Tongue (2nd in 2020) the last winner to come out of that race.
The Group 1 Queensland Oaks (2200m) in Brisbane over the winter is good target for Australasian Oaks graduates. Egg Tart (2017) was the last filly to complete the Australasian Oaks – QLD Oaks double, while in 2022 Barb Raider ran second in both events.
The best fillies out of the Australasian Oaks may go on to take on the colts and geldings in the Group 1 South Australian Derby (2500m), a race the 2024 Australasian Oaks third placed Coco Sun went on to win.
