Curragh Race 5 - Juddmonte Irish Oaks (Fillies' Group 1)

MINNIE HAUK (5) won three of four career starts including most recently the G1 Epsom Oaks by a neck ahead of stablemate and G1 Pretty Polly Stakes winner Whirl. Represents notable connections and leading Irish yard. Main chance. WEMIGHTAKEDLONGWAY (7) finished fourth behind the top pick in the G1 Epsom Oaks as well as the G1 Pretty Polly Stakes last time. Might place. MERRILY (4) is a stablemate to the top pick. Disappointed previous two attempts when last of thirteen in the G1 Poule d'Essai des Pouliches at Longchamp before a last of twelve in the G1 Prix de Diane. Could offer some improvement. SUBSONIC (6) rounds out the shortlist.

Before that ran last of 13 at Longchamp in the G1 Poule d'Essai des Pouliches on May 11 over 1600m, 14 len behind Zarigana carrying 57kg at $42. Likely to find this out of reach.

Racing well recently. At the latest run 4th of 7 at this track in the G1 Pretty Polly Stakes on June 28 over 2011m, 3.5 len behind Whirl carrying 57kg at $19. The run before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 9 at Epsom Downs in the G1 The Oaks on June 6 over 2419m, 5.5 len behind Minnie Hauk with 58kg at $17. Sure to be thereabouts.
