The Queensland Oaks was first run in 1951 and is the premier staying event for three-year-old fillies during the Brisbane winter carnival. It is a set weight race over the traditional Oaks distance of 2400m and the race typically attracts mainly local fillies plus any interested visitors from interstate. The Oaks field is generally not as strong as the Gr1 AJC Oaks at Randwick in Sydney or the Gr1 Crown Oaks at Flemington in Melbourne.

The Gr3 Doomben Roses (2020m) held two weeks earlier at Doomben is the most common Oaks lead up race and Heavenly Glow (2008), Cinque Cento (2005) and The Jewel (2003) all won the Doomben Roses before going on to run a place in this race, while Ethereal (2001) was the last filly to win the Doomben Roses & Queensland Oaks double.

Purple (2009) ran third in the Doomben Roses prior to winning this race and she ventured to Melbourne the following spring to win the Gr2 Matriarch Stakes during the Melbourne Cup carnival before going on to finish runner-up in the Gr2 Sandown Classic the following Saturday at Sandown.

Miss Keepsake (2010) won a Class 2 race over 1800m on the Sunshine Coast prior to winning this race and recent Queensland Oaks winners include Purple (2009) and Riva San (2008).
