Crown Oaks Betting Tips

Australia’s biggest fillies’ race of the year receives a great deal of attention from the media, and is bet on by hundreds of thousands of punters in both Australia and the rest of the world. This translates into the Crown Oaks offering some of the biggest betting pools in Australia.

Fillies participating in the Crown Oaks have generally followed a long path to the race, leaving numerous clues as to their form and ability along the way. Calling the race accurately is facilitated by the fact that the Crown Oaks field does not compete under weights, and form is therefore a more reliable predictor of the race results.

Crown Oaks Tips

The Caulfield Thousand Guineas is the primary trial race for the Crown Oaks. Over 50% of recent Crown Oaks winners placed in the Caulfield Thousand Guineas before winning at Flemington Racecourse. Any horse that finishes in the top 3 at Caulfield is therefore worthy of a punt if entered into the Crown Oaks
Racehorses without a win in at least one group one race rarely go on to win the Crown Oaks. Previous group one wins in the 3-year-old season is therefore key to Crown Oaks success
The Crown Oaks tends to produce strong antepost favourites ahead of race day. Finding good value can therefore be quite challenging, which means that making use of a quality odds comparison service can be of great assistance when betting on the Crown Oaks
