OAKS DAY RACE PREVIEW

Race 6-CROWN OAKS 2500 METRES 03.00 P.M.

Big O's Oracle

4 - Riva San

2 - Zarita

10 - Arapaho Miss

Riva San was posted in the car park for much of the Wakeful yet still fought on very bravely for 2nd behind Zarita. With a better run in transit, she can turn the tables here.

Zarita is a filly on the up and hit form with a good staying effort in the Wakeful. Drawn to get a charmed run from her inside barrier and she'll be in the finish for sure.

Arapaho Miss has been running on well all campaign, suggesting the 2500m will be right up her alley. Probably lacks the zip of the first two but she'll be grinding away at the business end of the race.

Shaggy's Selections

2 - Zarita

1 - Serious Speed

12 - Diva La Belle

Zarita hit the line well in the Wakeful with a very cosy run in transit. Destined to be in the same spot at the same time in the Oaks and can record the same result.

Serious Speed never got going under the comparatively big weight last start. Much better suited here and will be running home strongly.

Diva La Belle hasn't had the race to suit in either of her last two starts, will drop out, swing wide and should be finishing hard down the outside.
