Irish Oaks

Another case of hitting the crossbar yesterday. Elusive Pimpernel was disappointing with Heavenly Dawn impressive, each-way punt Imperial Pippin finished fourth with late bet Ingleby Exceed third beaten a nose and a neck.
I keep on trying and today all eyes will be on the Curragh for the Irish Oaks. Tactics won the day for Dancing Rain in the Epsom race and the Haggas filly is unlikely to be allowed to repeat that run. The second and fourth at Epsom, Ballydoyles Wonder of Wonders and Godolphins Blue Bunting, look better horses and in a truly run race we should see the Aidan O'Brien trained filly prevail. I shall be having a bit of the 11-8 this morning.
Earlier on the card we have the Group Three Jebel Ali Stables and Racecourse Anglesey Stakes at 2.40. Some nice two-year-olds line up and my preference is for Fire Lilly. Fourth in the Group Two Queen Mary Stakes at the Royal meeting the extra furlong here will suit and she should prove too good for her opponents today.
Be lucky
