The beautifully bred Heidilicious is Queensland Oaks bound after landing her first metropolitan win at Sandown on Sunday.

The John Sadler-trained Zabeel filly, a sister to 2010 VRC St Leger placegetter Sherpa Tenzing, is from the same family as highly successful racehorse and stallion High Chaparral.

Sent out $2.35 favourite in the Jeannie King Hcp (1600m), Heidilicious was nicely placed in the one-out and one-back position by James Winks.

She sprinted home to score by a half-length from What A Beauty ($5.50) with another Queensland winter aspirant Saint Angers ($2.80) 1-1/4 lengths away third.

A $NZ165,000 yearling at the Karaka Premier Sale, Heidilicious has won twice and finished in the placings at her other two starts.

Raced by the Rosemount Stud Syndicate and Nigel Austin, Heidilicious' rider sported the same red and white colours German-bred sprinter Anteros, prepared by Mark Young, carried to victory at Caulfield on Saturday.

The Sadler stable notified stewards the filly would be ridden closer to the lead on Sunday in the field of six.

"Fantastic, she put the writing on the wall first up and it was good to see that she went on with it today and hit the line nicely," stable manager Troy Corstens said.

"We did notify the stewards that we were going to ride her closer than that but it didn't quite work out the way we wanted it to. She sat in behind them."

The stable is having a great run since opening up its Flemington operation in December with a strike rate of around 42 per cent in the metropolitan area and 36 per cent overall.

"Things are going very well and we've just got to hope they continue. We have some really very nice horses and the stable has put in a stack of work," Corstens said.

"The way the place is run it's unbelievably professional.

"It's developed like the way AFL teams have become very professional over the last 20 years and we're trying to do the same."

The Group One Queensland Oaks (2400m) is at Eagle Farm on June 4.

The stable mood altered when it was denied the chance to land a double the heavily backed Under The Hat who was scratched at the barrier from the Ahern's At Highways After The Last Hcp (1500m).

Backed from $4.60 to $3.20, Under The Hat got a back leg over the partition on the side of the barrier and was withdrawn.

Sadler was unhappy the four-year-old wasn't given the chance to prove his fitness by being trotted around behind the gates.

"Jake (apprentice Jake Noonan said he was OK but they only let him trot up ten metres before taking him out," the trainer said.
