Trainer Mike Moroney has declared lightly-raced Brazilian Pulse the best filly he has trained after she scored a gut-busting win in the VRC Oaks at Flemington.

The daughter of Captain Rio was Moroney's fourth Oaks winner but his first at Flemington, completing a hat-trick of Cup carnival features for him after a Melbourne Cup with Brew in 2000 and the Victoria Derby with Second Coming (1997) and Monaco Consul (2009).

Moroney doubted Brazilian Pulse's ability when she first arrived at his Flemington stable earlier this year but she has confounded him with her development in only her first preparation.

The Oaks was only her sixth race start and her fourth win.

"I think she's the best (filly) I've had," Moroney said.

"She has got everything."

Moroney said the only other filly he had trained to compare with her was Happyanunoit who went on to win three Group One races in America.

"It is hard to compare the two but I think this filly, long-term, could be better," Moroney said.

"She is very, very good."

Moroney's past Oaks winners were Our Heavenly Body (1989 SA Oaks), Alacrity who beat stablemate The Lions Roar in the 1996 NZ Oaks, and Eskimo Queen (2007 Queensland Oaks.

Brazilian Pulse backed up after winning last Saturday's Wakeful Stakes (2000m) at Flemington and is the 34th winner of the Wakeful-Oaks (2500m) double.

She highlighted her ability to chase down her opposition when she took the Oaks field up to the leader Sasa who made the pace from the 1600 metres when the speed slackened.

Jockey Craig Williams had Brazilian Pulse placed second more three lengths away but she had claimed the lead rounding the home turn and sustained a strong run to the post.

Danny O'Brien-trained stablemates were the only challengers but she beat both of them off to score by three-quarters of a length from Shamrocker with Placement two lengths away third.

"I was certainly worried when they swung for home and she got to the front a long way out," Moroney said.

"It was a very, very tough win."

Moroney said Brazilian Pulse was a quiet and sensible filly and her temperament, as much as anything, won her the race.

"She is a lovely filly and is very mature for her age," Moroney said.

"She has been asleep in her stall all day and I watched her behind the barrier and she stood there and never moved a muscle."

Brazilian Pulse cost $26,000 as a yearling and is the 24th Group One winner Moroney's brother Paul has purchased.

Among the filly's owners is Rupert Legh, who has owned a number of top gallopers including 1999 Caulfield Cup winner Sky Heights, and John O'Neill who owned 2003 Caulfield Cup winner Mummify.

For Moroney the VRC Oaks was the race that got away from him 23 years ago when Concordance was his first Australian runner.

She finished seventh to Sandy's Pleasure after trying to lead all the way as the $4.50 favourite.

"My first Australian experience was here in this race in 1987 and I went home with my tail between my legs," Moroney said.

He said Brazilian Pulse would now be spelled and most likely start her autumn campaign in Melbourne in the hope that she can train on and give him his first AJC Australian Oaks win in Sydney.
