Sunday is D-Day for my long-range Oaks fancy CARLA BIANCA. After a lovely intro against the colts FTO, she ducks the opening 1 Mile Maiden Fillies race tomorrow for a run in the 7F Moyglare Stud Group 1.
I mentioned her as more an Oaks type after her debut, on the 1000 Guineas thread, but she didn't look slow on that first run, and loved the quick conditions, with a wonderful stride.
I know its the owners race, which may be partly responsible for the step up in grade, but she has been the most taking debut performing 2yo filly for me this season, and is very well bred.
I was pleased to see WH put up 40/1 for the Oaks yesterday and happy to take that price.
25s for the Guineas a little less appealing but more will be revealed tomorrow.
I can see Tapestry and CARLA BIANCA duelling through the final furlong, and if Tapestry has the speed she could win over 7F tomorrow, but the 14s for CB looks mighty tempting for Win or EW.
