The Oaks holds no fears for trainer, John Sargent, after the win of his filly, Kirramosa, when she finished full of running to take out the Wakeful Stakes at Flemington.

She came from last, at the top of the straight, to win going away; suggesting the extra 500 metres of the Oaks should not bother her in the least.

There was never any intention of running her in the Wakeful Stakes, but the filly had done so well in the stable from her previous Sydney run, she was in need of another run before her classic engagement.

Kirramosa’s win was the first for young Tommy Berry, he gave the filly ample time to get balanced and settle down, she did the rest.

The Wakeful Stakes has always been a fairly reliable guide to the Oaks, the last filly to win the double was Brazillian Pulse three years ago and Faint Perfume the year before, when coming from an impossible position.

There will be no fancy prices bet about Kirramosa when she steps out later in the week, she started at $9.50 in the Wakeful Stakes, she is now favourite for the Oaks at $3.40.

Kirramosa is by Alamosa, a son of O’Rielly, he won the Toorak Handicap for Mick Price.
