Anticipating a solid early tempo with plenty of pace engaged. Time for the feature of the day where FANCY RED (6) goes on top. She relished the rise in trip last start to bolt in, picking up her rivals with ease to win the Oaks. Rates highly on the back of that effort and it wouldn't surprise to see her a touch closer this time around. Can extend her winning streak. ARCADIA PARK (1) sat up on the speed and was too strong in the Aquanita. The time in the Aquanita was slower than the Oaks on the same day, however with his racing pattern, he can set it up to suit once again. He appears the main danger. LILLIAN (8) can be prominent in the run under Chris Parnham and can feature in the finish. LANO (2) creates interest as the fresh blood in the race and is worth including. SUGGESTED PLAY: Fancy Red can win again.
