Goddess to bounce back
It's another big Group 1 day at Eagle Farm this week, with the Queensland Oaks attracting a high-quality field.
Plenty of young 3YO stayers have made the trip North, with an array of form-lines present from the recent SA Carnival and the Sydney Autumn Carnival.
I'm siding with a classy filly who may have timed this preparation to perfection.

Track Conditions
The Eagle Farm track is currently rated a Good 4 with the rail out 2m for the entire circuit.
Fine conditions are predicted for the remainder of the week, with partly cloudy periods on Saturday.
Historically, midfield and run on profiles are set to be well suited.
As always refer to the early races for a good guide on track bias.

The Map 
-
There will be a number of runners who can apply pressure early and possibly give themselves their only hope to make it a true staying test.
-
Nyota (9) looks the most likely to charge out early and take it up at genuine tempo.
-
Aravene (6) and Pioneer Lass (3) will both be looking to use their good draws to punch up, and should be right up there in the early stages and throughout.
-
Key chance Gypsy Goddess (22) is a natural back-marker, hence the wide draw is of no huge concern, provided she can slot in or find the moving line when ready to charge late.
Lay of the race – Barb Raider $7.50
Won well here last start in the traditional lead up The Roses.
On that occasion, she did appear "blessed" in the run and seemed to receive all favours when traveling just in behind the speed.
Forced to launch from gate 11 here, I doubt she will have the charmed run this time out, and whilst the mugs will chime in, she looks a great Lay to my eye.
The big model teams to be severely against her late in betting and she could start much longer odds.
Avoid.
Best Racing Tips 
I'm with Gypsy Goddess who looks to have timed her run to perfection after missing the gruelling SA Carnival.
She was targeted at the Sydney 3YO features when high up in the market.
She enters fresh after a 4-week freshen-up, followed by the one lead up run into this event.
Honeycreeper is stacked with ability and is another who dodged the SA carnival following an ATC Oaks campaign in Sydney.
She was hard in the market for the ATC Oaks where not all went her way after being hampered at the start.
Given more luck here she could jump up out of the ground.
Belle Savoir was good behind Barb Raider in the Roses last start when she stormed home from well off the leading division.
Aravene has done everything right winning her past two, the latest at Rosehill which is a different form line for this race.
The market has been very keen on her recently and this must be respected.
