Yorkshire Oaks: For Early Risers This Morning

[Dana666]

Interesting race: Off at 10:40 am.
Good to Soft ground.
1 1/2 miles

odds current at 6:30 am via Ladbrokes

1. Brushing 100-1 Seems up against it.

2. Crystal Capella 7-2 Likes softer ground; my best guess would be a minor placing, but she is getting hammered. She got a great run versus monsters in her last and couldn\'t quite stay with the likes of Midday and Snow Fairy--that was a key race however. Not impossible.

3. Snow Fairy (Scratched)

4. Vita Nova 7/2 Interesting mare. I really like the looks of her and think it may be her day to step onto a big stage. She\'s bred to run all day and handles soft ground. It all looks right. Cecil and Queally are a lethal combo. Wait till you see her in the post parade; she\'ll blow your mind. Gorgeous.

5.Banimpre 13/2: Hard to knock this 3 year old. She\'s always right there. I have some questions of her ability to win at this top top class level however. She Lost an absolute heart breaker in the Irish Oaks when Blue Bunting swept on by ala Touch Gold in the Belmont Stakes going by Silver Charm.

6. Blue Bunting 3-1: Stays like a migraine headache. A super filly for Godolphin. You get Frankie  Dettori arguably the greatest jockey on this planet. I think her price here will be much lower than the 3-1 in the UK. Runs on any and all ground. Do we try to beat her? That is the question.

7. Laughing Lashes 10-1 Will handle the soft ground, I\'m not sure she\'s a top class filly. I guess we\'ll find out today. Might be too soon to give up on her though with only 3 starts so far in 2011. I\'ll probably pass.

8-Rumh: Not sure why she\'s here, maybe as a rabbit for Blue Bunting who does need a little pace to run at. 100-1.

9. Wonder of Wonders: 6-1 Has a little tactical speed. As far as I can tell she seems to want firmer ground. Probably not the worst long shot though. Nice looker, mover.  Classy sort I think.

Bottom Line:
Vita Nova might be worth a stab at decent odds, so I will unload on her and try to get some cash for Del Mar. Blue Bunting is the one to fear and Crystal Capella moves up on the softer ground but has yet to show she\'s this good.
Vita Nova to win. Perhaps and exacta box with Blue Bunting isn\'t the worst saver.

Good luck. Fun race.

Nice exacta call Dana..Unfortunately you couldn\'t get the one you wanted up but hope you walked away with some DMR money for later..
