Kiwi filly Sancerre should sneak into the field for next week's Group One Queensland Oaks after her impressive win at Ipswich on Wednesday.

Sancerre earned $11,050 for her victory to take her total prize money to $25,382 which in most years would put her well down the list for qualifying for the Oaks.

"They can run 18 from the 2400 metres and when you take out those with less prize money and those who have indicated they won't start she should just make it," Brisbane Race Club racing manager Bart Sinclair said.

Sancerre, the $2 favourite, lived up to her big reputation when she beat Generis Heart ($3) by three lengths with a neck to Sam's Town ($4.20) in the Schweppes Handicap (2200m).

Cambridge trainer Tony Pike has been playing catch up with Sancerre in his bid to get her into the Oaks (2400m) field on May 31.

Sancerre is bred to be a good-class stayer being by top sire O'Reilly out of the mare Vouvray who won the Queensland Oaks in 2004.

Pike hoped to get enough prize money to make the Oaks field by running Sancerre in a Listed race at Riccarton but she was rated unlucky when fifth.

He then decided to get Sancerre into the field through Australian provincial racing because she also would not have made the field for races such as the Doomben Roses.

Sancerre won at the Sunshine Coast at her first run in Australia.

Jockey Vin Colgan was impressed with her Ipswich win.

"She wasn't at home on the tight Ipswich track but she was too good for them," he said.
