Stoutly-bred filly Fashion Black will attempt to win next month's Queensland Oaks after successfully graduating to city class with her second victory at Sandown.

The three-year-old won her maiden 2-1/2 weeks ago at Bendigo and impressed trainer Danny O'Brien with how well she handled Wednesday's heavy track, landing the Deck The Halls Hcp (1700m) by 1-1/4 lengths from Third Day and Tad Of Class.

"She is out of an (unraced) Zabeel mare so we have always had a good opinion of her as a staying sort of filly," O'Brien said.

"She was still short of her best distance today but given she can handle the wet it means we can look at Queensland.

"If she had failed today I wouldn't be going but you know you are going to probably get softer ground up there.

Fashion Black has raced five times and will have her sixth start in the Group Three Doomben Roses (2020m) on May 22, two weeks before the 2400m Oaks.

A $180,000 Karaka yearling in New Zealand, she is by of Bertolini, a brilliant sprinting son of Danzig, while her grand-dam Arletty was successful to 2000 metres and a four-time Group winner.

O'Brien said it was all still ahead of Fashion Black.

"She has come on really well since she won her maiden the other day and I think there is a good future in front of her as she steps out in distance," O'Brien said.

Meanwhile, Cranbourne trainer Doug Harrison has high hopes three-year-old Tan Tat Brav will be his next star after resuming from injury to land the All American At Arrowfield Stud Hcp (1000m).

The well-bred son of Falbrav and the Nureyev mare Tamari, who is a half-sister to two Group One winners, cost $360,000 as a yearling but has been limited to just three starts to date.

Last July he won his race debut at Bendigo by seven lengths and was beaten a half-length by good city performer True Persuasion at Moonee Valley before going amiss when getting ready for the spring carnival.

Diagnosed as a grade three roarer, he had a throat operation and at the same time had a bone chip operation on a knee forcing him off the scene until now.

Harrison said it wasn't his preference to run Tan Tat Brav at Sandown on a muddy track with 59kg and was relieved that he held on to win by a half-length from Dad Knows Best and Alkhafif.

"We had to find somewhere to run him and there weren't many options," Harrison said.

"He got through it and he's done a good job.

"He's had a few issues and with wind operations you always wonder whether they are going to come back but he has."

Harrison said the Listed Creswick Stakes (1200m) at Flemington would be his next and final winter target on June 12.

"He is a quality horse and you would hope he would be up to the spring," Harrison said.
