Australian Cup Day (30 March, Saturday)
Can Fillies / Mares turn the tide?
| Year | Fillies / Mares running in the Australian Cup | Finishing Place |
|---|---|---|
| 2023 | CAMPIONESSA EL PATRONESS LUNAR FLARE STEINEM |
6 7 9 10 |
| 2022 | DUAIS SHE'S IDEEL |
1 11 |

| 2020 | MISS SISKA | 8 |
| 2019 | SHILLELAGH | 2 |
There was no lack of filles or mares running in the Australian Cup in the past 5 years. However, only DUAIS claimed the title. She is even the sole Australian Cup winner in her own sex after MAKYBE DIVA in 2005. It is interesting to see if the two high class mares PRIDE OF JENNI, who beat MR BRIGHTSIDE twice in the Kennedy Champions Mile and All-Star Mile, and the G1 Champions Stakes winner ATISHU can be another.
No worries for wide draws
| Year | Australian Cup Winner | Barrier |
|---|---|---|
| 2023 | CASCADIAN | 10 |
| 2022 | DUAIS | 8 |
| 2021 | HOMESMAN | 14 |
| 2020 | FIFTY STARS | 13 |
| 2019 | HARLEM | 4 |
Breaking from out wide seems not an absolute disadvantage for the Australian Cup. In fact, 3 of the last 5 winners including CASCADIAN, HOMESMAN and FIFTY STARS were from a double-digit barrier. There are only 9 starters for the Australian Cup this year with defending champion CASCADIAN and former Melbourne Cup Champion VOW AND DECLARE from the widest barrier 8 and 9, but that may not be a big problem for them.
