Trainer Bevan Laming continues to be in awe of Ringa Ringa Rosie as the Queensland filly steps up her preparation aimed at the VRC Oaks.

Ringa Ringa Rosie booked a trip south for her Oaks mission at Flemington on November 4 with a brilliant comeback victory at Doomben eight days ago.

Laming admitted even he was surprised with the filly's win at her first start since finishing second to Pressday in the Group One TJ Smith (1600m) at Eagle Farm on June 12.

Laming had some concerns prior to her win that she had been working too keenly and wasn't as relaxed as in her previous preparation last season as a two-year-old.

Her winning time of 1:09.76s impressed Laming the most.

"She's always shown a lot of potential but I didn't think she was forward enough to run that time," Laming said.

Laming paid the aptly-named Ringa Ringa Rosie the ultimate accolade by declaring her the best filly he's trained and possibly the best galloper, after she recorded her third win from eight starts.

Ringa Ringa Rosie is a daughter of Bradbury's Luck and was named by Laming's wife Jenny after the nursery rhyme and former Olympic skater Steve Bradbury.

Bradbury won gold at the Salt Lake City winter Olympics in 2002 after his four rivals all tumbled leaving the Australian as the last man standing to claim victory.

The nursery rhyme has the line, Ringa Ringa Rosie, ...they all fall down.

Laming has booked Ringa Ringa Rosie on a flight to Melbourne this week where her next assignment will be the Group Three One Thousand Guineas Prelude (1400m) at Caulfield on September 18.

"Her next run will be in the Guineas Prelude," Laming said.

"I'd like her to run in the Prelude to get her used to Caulfield which is a tricky track.

"She might go straight into the Thousand Guineas after that or I can give her another run if I think she needs it."

The Group One Thousand Guineas (1600m) is at Caulfield on October 13.

Laming believes Ringa Ringa Rosie won't reach her full potential until next autumn.

"She's quite exciting now but she'll be even better next autumn when she develops more," he said.

Laming has no doubt Ringa Ringa Rosie will handle the VRC Oaks. journey.

"I'm very confident she'll run 2500 metres. There's a fair bit of stamina on her dam's side and she even looks a stayer now," he said.

Ringa Ringa Rosie's grand-dam, La Caissiere, finished second to Look Aloft in the Group One Queensland Oaks (2400m) at Eagle Farm in 1984.
