- To Win: #2 Tobeornottobe ($14 at time of publish) – BET NOW
Tipping an upset in the key support act on Oaks Day with a wide-open field and market making for an intriguing race. Tobeornottobe is around $14 at time of publish despite her class. She carries 58kg which is a query but the nicely bred daughter of Pierata is Group 2 performed and a Gorup 3 winner. Back-to-back thirds earlier this prep including one behidn Bellatrix Star at The Valley. That form was franked with the winner going on to win the Group 2 Schillaci before her second in last Saturday’s Group 1 Coolmore Stud Stakes. This filly meanwhile was unplaced when 10th last time out in the Group 2 Thousand Guineas Prelude but stretched at 1400m. She drops back and it will take a top effort but think the 1100m will be her go and she’ll be slick at a price.
