Irish Oaks, Curragh
Su Jul 18
Oaks winner Ouija Board has been working well at home in preparation
for this Sunday's Irish Oaks at the Curragh. A total of ten
rivals have been declared for the Irish classic, including
All Too Beautiful and Punctilious, who finished seven lengths
and ten and a half lengths respectively behind her at Epsom.
They will both be better suited to the more galloping track
on Sunday, with Punctilious in particular expected to finish
a lot closer after putting her Epsom performance behind her
with an emphatic display to win the Ribblesdale Stakes just
13 days later. There is likely to be a lot more to come from
this improving filly, and she is the value alternative to
the favourite.

I think an awful lot of this filly, so keep an eye on her.
She will probably run in a maiden at Newmarket on Friday but
we’ll see how she works in the week. She is well bred and a
typically
laid-back daughter of Pivotal. I was amazed when she had
problems with the new stalls on her first racecourse visit.
I couldn’t have schooled her better at home and she had
always been so easy-going. The problem must be the different
type of starting gate but I’m very happy with her
temperament. She was withdrawn at the start but I’m sure
she’ll make up for time lost.
