Opinion Poll showed his class yesterday, and landed us a good 3pt bet. 
The Oaks today, in the first day at Epsom, and I firmly believe The Fugue is the standout in the race.  Anyone looking for a value each way bet, I think Shirocco Star is over priced at 16/1.  I've decided against having a bet on her though, as she would need one of the top 3 in the market to underperform to land a blow.  I do think she's the next best horse in the field though, so value at 16/1.
