Re: flat racing friday 5th june inc.epsom oaks Legatissimo is bred for the Oaks trip but it was interesting that Ryan felt she was a mile/10f horse after the Guineas. Either way she's a worthy favourite. I wouldn't be too keen on Found after a couple of tough races in the past month. Gosden didn't look too impressed when Star of Seville barely held Together Forever and probably thought she needed to win more convincingly receiving weight to be an Oaks contender. Gosden also said last week that Dettori should look for the ride on Crystal Zvezda so he doesn't seem to think much of his string. Jack Naylor brings top class 2 year old form and is bred to relish the Oaks trip. She also ran a cracker on her reappearance at the Curragh and looks to have trained on. Al Naamah obviously has to improve bundles to win here but she was found to be in season on her reappearance so should come on a ton for that. She has the talent on pedigree and there's no one better than Fabre to get a horse to reach their potential. Anything he sends over deserves respect and she's an interesting contender.
