Chris Munce will get the chance to become the most successful jockey in Queensland Oaks history when he partners New Zealand filly Miss Keepsake in the Group One feature at Eagle Farm.

Munce currently shares the honour of three Queensland Oaks wins with former champion jockey Mick Dittman and the late Andy Tindall.

He joined the pair with his latest Queensland Oaks triumph on the Peter Moody-trained Vouvray in 2004 after earlier successes aboard Zagalia in 2003 and Giovana (2000).

Munce has ridden Miss Keepsake at her past two wins at Caloundra and is not concerned about the daughter of Keeper stepping up in distance and class to Saturday's filly's Classic.

Miss Keepsake is on her maiden trip to Australia and is a $17 chance in fixed odds betting markets with TAB Sportsbet behind the $3.60 favourite Dariana who is attempting to break trainer Bart Cummings' Queensland Oaks hoodoo.

Cummings' only win in the Queensland Oaks was with Round The World in 1987.

Miss Keepsake has started only six times for three wins and Munce believes she's in with a strong hope.

"I think she's an improver," Munce said.

"She's only been to Caloundra in restricted grade but she's very tough."

Miss Keepsake's trainer Andrew Scott is thrilled just to see his filly make the Queensland Oaks line-up.

"We're over the moon," Scott said.

"It was the plan coming over here to work our way through the grades out of town."

Miss Keepsake hasn't yet met the class of her Oaks opposition but Scott is optimistic about her prospects.

"She's fit enough, bright enough and she's handling the trip well," he said.

"Her last run at Caloundra was against a reasonably strong field.

"You'd say she shouldn't have won with the run she got in that race, but she was good enough to hold them at bay."

Scott holds no fears about her handling the 2400m journey, despite Miss Keepsake never having raced over that distance.

"There's no concern with the trip, she'll run it out, a few won't," he said.

"She's got a real staying pedigree and has the right attributes. It's just whether she's good enough."

Miss Keepsake has thrived on dead and slow tracks since arriving and Scott will be satisfied if the current dead track conditions prevail on race day.

Trainer Mike Moroney's confidence with Doomben Roses winner Marheta soared after the filly drew perfectly in barrier three.

Moroney, who won the Oaks with Eskimo Queen in 2007, is also sweating on a scratching to enable first emergency Our Tigress to sneak into the starting line-up.

"The alley is going to assist Marheta getting the distance and she's trained on well since the Roses," Moroney said.

"Mark Zahra wasn't sure about her getting the trip after she ran second in the Gold Coast Bracelet but after winning the Roses he thinks she'll handle it.

"Our Tigress will definitely get the journey if she can get a start. She had a bad barrier and was caught wide when she was beaten by Miss Keepsake at Caloundra last start."
