Getta Good Feeling now has all bases covered ahead of her push for a breakthrough Group 1 victory.

The Danny O’Brien filly pulled barrier five for the Australasian Oaks (2000m) this Saturday at Morphettville.

Adelaide’s program includes this Group 1 with 16 in the field and four emergencies standing by.

Billy Egan sticks with Getta Good Feeling from barrier three should emergencies remain out, following her campaign wins at Flemington and Caulfield under his ride.

The trainer avoided the Anniversary Vase (1600m) on April 11 at Caulfield, preferring a trial at Geelong recently.

“She trialled really well,” O’Brien said.

“She has come back very well this prep. Both starts she has won, and this was always her target for the autumn.

“We specifically didn’t get ready for Sydney because we wanted to have a crack at this, at 2000 metres, and everything’s gone to plan.”

O’Brien considered but ultimately skipped a Caulfield run for Getta Good Feeling, aiming to bank an extra start later on.

Eagle Farm’s Group 1 Queensland Oaks (2200m) June 6 offers a future option in Brisbane.

“She’s fit and well, and I’m sort of half minded that if she won the Oaks, in Adelaide, that we’d take her up to Brisbane, for the Oaks up there,” O’Brien said.

“I thought I’d rather have another run up my sleeve for later, rather than get another one into her now.

“She won the Wakeful (Stakes 2000m) and run third in the 1000 Guineas (in the spring), so four of our last five have been very, very good runs, and she’s a very classy filly.

“She got 2200 (metres) in the VRC Oaks (over 2500m) and the Queensland Oaks is 2200 and that is why we thought this as well.

“Plus, it gave us a bit more time to give her a proper break after the spring when we decided that we wouldn’t try and get to Sydney.”
