The Moonee Valley Fillies Classic is a Group 2 mile race for three-year-old fillies run and won at The Valley in late October each Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival.

The event forms part of the bumper Cox Plate Day program and offers $300,000 in total prize money.

The fillies in the field face off at set weights and the Moonee Valley Fillies Classic serves as a potential lead-up to the Group 1 VRC Oaks (2500m) at Flemington during November’s Melbourne Cup Carnival.

Formerly run in the autumn as the Moonee Valley Oaks, the last filly to win both races as a three-year-old was Special Harmony who won the 2003 Crown Oaks before coming back the next autumn to win the 2004 MV Oaks (now MV Fillies Classic).

The Moonee Valley Fillies Classic graduates may also race at Caulfield in the Group 1 Thousand Guineas (1600m) in November, a race the 2023 MV Fillies Classic winner Skybird ran third in.
