Time for the mourning associated with Songbird’s absence to end and appreciation for how engaging this Oaks is without her to begin. Just as with Saturday’s feature, contention runs deep in this group with very little separating the obvious favorites, mid-priced contenders and $40+ price players. Also like the Derby, there isn’t a great deal of speed evident in terms of lead-grabbers, but a host of pace pressers should prompt the tempo more than enough to make it fair for all styles. In terms of how they come in to the event, Lewis Bay, Mokat, Mo d’Amour, Rachel’s Valentina and Cathryn Sophia have touted themselves the most having drilled stylishly and/or had nothing but great mornings. Mokat and Mo d’Amour have to prove that they are this quality as winners, but neither would surprise anywhere in the pay slots. Six less runners than in its’ male counterpart Saturday, but no less challenging on paper and at the windows..
Most Likely: #3 Lewis Bay 8-1: Classic-bred filly; proven adept at trip; drawn perfectly and style suits race flow.. 3rd
Next Best: #11 Rachel’s Valentina 7-2: Dam ran best ever Oaks; Ashland better than expected off break.. 6th
Best Value: #8 Royal Obsession 20-1: 2nd to Lewis Bay in Gazelle, the price with best win chance.. 11th
Exotics Use: #12 Cathryn Sophia 9-2: Songbird exit tripped reconsideration; ‘Fastest’ but 9f question to answer.. WON ($11.40)
Hi-5 Play: #6 Mokat 20-1: Weep & Land Over are better win candidates, but too flashy to ignore as exotics booster.. 13th
