Kootenay will be suited by the step up in trip, but she has no easy task with her penalty. Cozy Maria, a half-sister to the useful Miss Alleged, is another who will appreciate this trip and this Oaks entry is sure to take some beating. Irish 1,000 guineas entry Dark Flower, will need to improve on what she has shown so far, while Mawaheb, out of a a mare who won the French 1,000 guineas, could be anything. The maiden Summer Wine, another who holds an Oaks entry, ran a sound first race, but she looks up against it in this.
