KEY POINTS:
Former Pukekohe-trained filly Rathsallagh confirmed Queensland Oaks plans with a stunning win at her Australian debut at Cranbourne on Wednesday.
The daughter of O'Reilly hadn't won in nine starts before, but could not have been more impressive when storming home from the back to win the Brave Chief Handicap (1600m).
Her trainer Russell Cameron said: "Our aim is take her to Queensland for the Oaks and from what I saw today I am quite happy to be heading that way."
Cameron was a prominent Victorian trainer five years ago before moving to Macau where he trained briefly before basing himself in New Zealand. He moved back to Melbourne a month ago.
