SA Fillies Classic Tips 2026
Our exclusive 2026 SA Fillies Classic tips will be detailed here the week of the race and a full betting preview published on the Neds Blog.
The SA Fillies Classic is a Group 3 South Australian thoroughbred event held on The Goodwood Day in May at Morphettville Racecourse during the popular Adelaide Autumn Racing Carnival.
The set weights race is open only to three-year-old fillies and currently offers $170,000 in prize money.
A genuine stamina test, the event takes place over the same track and trip as the Group 1 South Australian Derby (2500m) that is held the week before.
The South Australian Fillies Classic was inaugurated in 1951 as the South Australian Oaks (1951-2008).
It was renamed ahead of the 2009 edition and has undergone a host of distance, scheduling, and Group status changes.
From 1980–2004 it held Group 1 status but has been a Group 3 event since 2007.
The 2025 SA Fillies Classic is already stacking up as a strong form race, with runner‑up Chase Your Dreams franking the profile by charging into third at her next start in the Group 1 Queensland Derby.
