Thought i would start a thread to throw up ideas and tips for oaks day tommorow.

Right now i am looking at the lexus. There is a lot of speed in this race.
Always Flying
Brannigan
All Bar One
Poets Voice
I'm a tenor
The boot

Having said that i am stumped. I backed All bar one last start at the juicy odds of 28 but my theory behind backing him was that he is better on the wet than dry. I dunno if this theory is correct but if it is he may not repeat what he did at mooney valley, also the valley suited his style of racing.

I thought possibly presently, might be nice value in this field.

The hong kong galloper has run 55.2 for 1000, that is quick isn't it? I am not that savvy with times yet.

Very even.

The last race is very poor. Mock should street them but his last run was no good, despite being over an unsuitable trip. Thought Raphael had a chance coming of a convincing bush victory and Tszyu drops a lot in class. Polish clown is in good form. Then you go to a few who are around the same even level Caveat Emptor, Delabee, Fifeshire.,

Don't let me talk you out of All Bar One but I wouldn't back it unless it is wet tomorrow it's ratings seem to go through the roof when it is wet and it wouldn't be the first Hennessy who likes a wet track here.

Having a quick look at the field if Always Flying can reproduce anywhere near that time tomorrow it will kill them something else that is interesting it is by the same sire as Silent Witness. You are right to 55.2 isn't fast that is low flying.

I wasnt planning on backing it because i thought the same thing as you re it rating way ahead on the wet.
