Oaks Day

Australian stars are embracing the “chic” dress code at Kennedy Oaks Day, stepping out in a string of demure ensembles.

Anyone appearing trackside at Flemington must also abide by a string of traditions and “style no-no’s” – this is inherently important for the VIP guests inside the prestigious Birdcage enclosure who are “expected to maintain a suitable standard in keeping with the dignity” according to the VRC. While fashion critics were not fans of the 38-year-old’s Gucci slip dress – one even declared her arrival in the gown as the “day Melbourne Cup died” – Kate hasn’t let that dampen her race day spirits. Kate Waterhouse, the daughter of racing royalty Gai Waterhouse, has once again opted for a pink number following her controversial “Barbiecore” cocktail dress at Tuesday’s Melbourne Cup. The model child of Channel 9 journalist Richard Wilkins posed in a standout two-piece adorned with the word “GOD” across his chest. Oaks Day, also known as “ladies day”, is the penultimate event in the Melbourne Cup Carnival which sees racegoers choose sophisticated and “classy” outfits rather than Australian stars are embracing the “chic” dress code at Kennedy Oaks Day, stepping out in a string of demure ensembles.

The Group 1 Kennedy Oaks (2500m) headlines Thursday's nine-event card at Flemington. Race-by-race analysis, tips and best bets here.

She was good in two runs prior and won the Listed Talindert Stakes (1100m) down the straight. [She's Extreme](https://www.punters.com.au/horses/shes-extreme_878043/)shouldn't be too far away from barrier one, while Foxy Cleopatra and Renaissance Woman will probably drift back. Torogene (14) can get pretty stirred up pre-race, as she did when scratched at the gates on Bendigo Cup day. Right You Are (14) battled on well for 4th behind Saint Bathans last start and meets him 3kg better at the weights in this. [Holbien](https://www.punters.com.au/horses/holbien_580417/)will come across from out wide to look for the lead. She finished 3rd in the G3 Matron Stakes over this route two-back and won her other start here. She has no issue with rain-affected ground and McDonald jumps back aboard here (has won 3 from 4 on the Waller mare). Climbing Star (12) looks well-placed with only 52kg on her back. [Roots](https://www.punters.com.au/horses/roots_858432/)and Princess Rhaenys will drift back for cover from wide barriers. Charm Stone (2) was sound here on debut and will be better for the experience. The rise from 1600m to 1700m looks suitable third-up and the wide gate might not necessarily be a disadvantage. The track was rated a Soft 7 on Wednesday and is unlikely to improve a great deal.

Two days after winning their first Melbourne Cup, Ciaron Maher and David Eustace will be back at Flemington searching for another group 1 win when they ...

She’s actually put on a little bit of weight since her run the other day and J-Mac was full of praise for her. Tommy Berry jumps back on board the Anthony Cummings-trained filly. She’s a horse in really good form.”

Ladies love a floral frock with frills and ruffles providing a flirty, floaty feel. It’s a day that racegoers can embrace beauty, romance and wonderment. Christian Wilkins ensured all eyes were on him, with the son of TV star Richard Wilkins turning heads in a floral peplum dress with the word 'God' emblazoned across the front, along with a Matador-inspired hat and leather boots. Melbourne model and Josh Daicos' girlfriend Annalise Dalins opted for a blue thigh-high split that was a slightly racy choice for conservative Flemington, while Nikki Phillips narrowly missed the mark with her statement-waisted Mariam Seddiq dress Making an appearance in both best and worst dressed was supermodel Nicole Trunfio, who first wowed in a stunning tweed pink mini suit that was a tribute to the late Chanel designer, Karl Lagerfeld, but later changed into a neon-form fitting pink outfit, complete with elbow-length gloves and a floor-length satin coat.
