Epsom Downs Race 5 - Betfred Oaks (Fillies' Group 1)
LEGACY LINK (5) brings the standout recent form after winning the York 2062m Fillies’ Group 3 last start, and draws well. CAMEO (3) was dominant by 4.75L in the Lingfield 2334m Listed and looks suited stepping to this trip. VENETIAN LACE (9) brings Group 1 depth after a Newmarket 1609m 3rd, 2.25L off the winner. AMELIA EARHART (2) beat several of these at Chester over 2281m in Listed grade and must be respected. A LA PROCHAINE (1) was 3rd there, 3.25L away, while K SARRA (4) wasn’t far off Legacy Link at York and can be competitive again.
