The final field and barrier draw has been released for the Group 1 Queensland Oaks, which is scheduled to take place at Eagle Farm racecourse this Saturday June 2, 2012.
Top hope Invest has fared badly in the barriers and has drawn barrier 22 for the 2012 Queensland Oaks.
Invest will be looking to extend her winning streak to three in a row in the 2012 Queensland Oaks after posting victories in the Group 1 Schweppes Oaks and Group 3 The Roses in her past two starts.
The three-year-old filly has won three of her 14 race starts and has earned more than $430,000 in prize money.
However, Invest will need to be in top form to win the 2012 Queensland Oaks from her wide barrier come this Saturday.
Quintessential has emerged with the inside barrier of one for the 2012 Queensland Oaks and will be ridden by jockey Damian Browne in the race.
Dowager Queen and Miss Artistic are also included in the 2012 Queensland Oaks final field and barrier draw.
