Unfortunately I was right to be concerned about Oscars Well's fitness yesterday. The lack of sharpness told on the run in, but I still think it was worth the punt at 2/1. Run that same race again in a month, and our selection would win. Oscar's Well will pay us back for yesterday later in the season, I've no doubt.
