Just a modest tempo anticipated. The feature of the day and OWN THE QUEEN (1) goes on top in the WA Oaks. She's won both the lead ups comfortably, sitting out the back off a slow tempo last time out and rounding up her rivals with ease. Suspect similar tactics will be adopted from the draw and it's hard to see anything turning the tables. MISS SKYHIGH (4) has been no match for Own The Queen her past couple, but gets both Pike in the irons and the blinkers on first time. She'll be ahead of her main dangers in the run, and is sure to be there when the whips are cracking. QUEEN NARDI (3) brings a different formline into this but will have to jump sharply in trip in the process. Her breeding suggests she'll run out the trip and Fiore will give her every chance from a favourable barrier. Can land the knockout blow. KINELLINS LEGACY (5) wasn't far away in the Natasha last start and has minor claims. STARATING (2) got close last start and merits plenty of respect. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Own The Queen to win the Oaks.
