Irish Oaks.

If soft I'd give a decent chance to Great Heavens, otherwise Princess Highway.

Hopefully PH will put in a nice staying performance to encourage her trainer to aim for St Leger later

trainer has a stronger hand than ever for the St Leger,wouldnt surprise me if Camelot didnt run in it and went for the Irish Champion instead,especially if Imperial Monarch runs in Prix Niel as o'Brien seemed to suggest on Saturday

I was thinking Princess Highway may be a supplementary for the Arc, Roo. If she wins the Oaks, im guessing it would be on for the Yorkshire Oaks next followed by France (if the choose).

No a good possibilty sint i just got silly odds on here for St Leger.  Also got silly odds for SOW for Arc so hoping that Weld may go that way. However more likely to retire a filly so if has won a Classic, then Arc a distinct possibility.

Agree that York is obvious next step after this weekend.

Current going is Heavy as of this morning. Track manager predicts it to be at least Soft on Sunday. Some dry days but possibility of more rain also. Shame.

When the Epsom Oaks winner Was was left in the Pretty Polly stakes with Maybe just recently, AOB decided to pull them both out citing the ground.

begining to lean towards Was winning race,would be surprised if she was taken out because of the ground,if that was case he may as well pull the rest of them out as there would be nothing else with realistic chance of winning

Interesting that john gosden has supplemented great heavens...on a line of form with the fugue, he must feel that has a chance with princess highway on ascot form.

I think the ground is the main thing with her tbh, she'll love it. I like Princess Highway a lot but Soft means I wont be backing her.

I see the race exactly the same way sint - in a way hoping they save Princess Highway for York.....and then Donny

if soft ground is a negative for PH and with GH only running other day,the nice break Was has had since Epsom could by process of elimination leave her the most likely winner if o'Brien plays his cards right

Will she like Soft though?

she is a Galileo so ya'd imagine stamina shouldnt be a problem whether she likes it or not,GH is by Galileo too but remains to be seen if she will recover in time for this even though she of the 3 will possibly like the ground the most,maybe Shirroco Star is been overlooked a little

Ground has dried a bit to Soft/Heavy. Might dry a bit more by 3.20.

A watching race for me.
