The IRISH OAKS

TARFASHA...this is the one on form both current and historical and arrives from the eternally and perpetually in form stable of Dermot Weld and this should get the run of the race with so many b list o'brien runners out .

There only a couple of relevant dangers in this line up with the first of them being the Cumani trained VOLUME a horse that has little to find and will be better suited here than at Epsom where it rolled around on its cambers and will be running on towards the end when most have given up as most are non stayers...

And the 2nd real danger is BRACELET who lto Won the Ribbelsdale which form wise isnt as strong but did prove she stayed well enough although you can make a decent enough case for Lustrous on that showing as the Hannon inmate was running on strong at the end but it is puzzling as to why JoB has chosen to ride Tapestry here a horse that hasnt raced over more than 1m and doesnt look a stayer at all....maybe they are seeing a different animal at home.....

Summary : Straight forward WIN bet on Tarfasha here @ 3.4+ which i feel is a fair price although i wouldnt be too dismissive on Lustrous at 20/1 as this is a very good EW punt for those wanting some value.
