2019 VRC OAKS – RACE ANALYSIS AND TIPS

Gamay can use one to be handy with Vegas Jewel coming across from the deep. Ocean Miss and Apicus are roughies that can roll the dice early.

MOONLIGHT MAID (2) ran really well up to 2040m in the Vase. Closed well and that form worked out nicely through the winner who ran well in the Derby. In-form stable's Derby chance improved as expected up in trip and she looks on track to do much the same.

MIAMI BOUND (1) and VEGAS JEWEL (4) cleared out in the Wakeful and that is always a key reference for this. Looks a strong edition this year and that pair ran to a level that goes mighty close. Draw probably favours Miami Bound to win that battle again.

GAMAY (3) saw off Vegas Jewel in the Ethereal and barrier one gives her a soft run on speed. Think that quartet hold all the aces.
