Jockey Kerrin McEvoy wasted no time breaking his Gold Coast hoodoo when he booted Queensland Oaks-bound filly Prix Du Sang to a commanding victory in the Southern Cross Ten Handicap.

McEvoy has travelled the world to notch 21 Group One wins in his stellar career but had never previously ridden a winner on the Gold Coast until Saturday's triumph.

McEvoy rode Prix Du Sang perfectly and made his move on the filly around the home turn and she stretched out to in the final stages to score a half-neck win over Humma.

Trainer Mike Moroney expects the daughter of Red Ransom to make considerable improvement after her first Australian run before she targets the Group One Queensland Oaks (2400m) at Eagle Farm on May 30.

"That's her first run for six weeks and she'll improve out of sight," Moroney said.

"I'll probably run her next in the Doomben Roses before the Oaks but I might have a two-pronged attack in the Oaks.

"I was impressed with the way Revoke won at Te Aroha in New Zealand today so she might come over as well for the Roses and Oaks."

The Group Three Doomben Roses (2020m) will be run on May 16 and is a traditional lead-up race to the Queensland Oaks.

Moroney has a fair opinion of Prix Du Sang who was bought by his brother Paul as a yearling in New Zealand.

"She's lightly framed and is not dissimilar to Eskimo Queen," he said.

Moroney won the Group One Queensland Oaks (2400m) at Eagle Farm in 2007 with Eskimo Queen.

Eskimo Queen was favourite for the Group One Queensland Derby (2400m) that year but lost her rider Greg Childs during the race.
