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.

2500m TURF GOOD

Form Preview

Miami Bound, a daughter of the 2007 VRC Oaks (Gr 1, 2500m) winner Arapaho Miss (Danehill Dancer) emulated her dam with a decisive victory here. She travelled nicely for Damien Oliver in sixth place, before tracking up well nearing the home turn. She took the lead at the 300m and then drew away over the closing stages to win impressively in a solid staying performance.The $41 outsider Never Listen raced back in 11th place, improved (deep) coming to the home turn and kept running on well in the centre of the track to take second in a really promising effort, stepping up in class here. Moonlight Maid was ridden patiently by Ben Melham and raced back in 12th place before making a wide move rounding the home turn. She then kept finishing on well, widest of all in the straight for a very good third. Beauty Bolt travelled in seventh place, improved between runners at the home turn and then kept battling on well for (6.3 lengths) fourth. The favourite Gamay enjoyed a good trip under Ryan Moore, racing in fourth place on the rails, but she was under riding rounding the home turn. She then kept battling on in the straight for (6.8 lengths) fifth.
