J-Mac to dominate: Gannon's Oaks Day plays (06/11)
Mick Gannon • November 6th, 2025 10:00 am
Leading form analyst Mick Gannon from TheGreatTipOff and SENTrack & RSN has provided his best bets for the weekend of racing.
Gannon has targeted Flemington on Oaks Day and he believes James McDonald is set for a big one.
Race 1, No.12 - FULL HAO
Drawn ideally for a determined J-Mac and maps to lead midfield with cover settling off a strong tempo.
Arrives here third-up for Chris Waller who always have them ready to peak at this set-up.
Her best is more than enough to take care of this field and I expect to see it today.
Race 2, No.5 - GETAFIX
Is yet to produce his best this prep, but third-up at peak fitness with a few key switches looks likely get him close to his best.
He draws a gate this time after settling at the rear from the widest barrier, this time I expect him to land a few pairs closer in the run last start.
Look for J-Mac to peel four wide on turning for home before letting Getfaix rip down the middle of the track. If he can recapture close to his form from last prep, he'll blow them away.
Race 5, No.8 - POISON CHALICE
Whilst numerical stats point to him not relishing this track and trip, his career peak figure has come at the Flemington mile when racing in the Group 2 Blamey.
He draws ideally in a middle barrier and will be ridden positively likely to land forward of midfield in the running line.
The big jockey switch from Murtagh to McDonald suggest he's flying and the stable have targeted the race. Expecting a big run from him in a very winnable race.
