O’Brien Second String to Take The Oaks

All the talk is for Santa Barbara which is understandable as Ryan Moore has ditched Snow Fall who destroyed Noon Star in the Musidora Stakes at York. That is Oaks winning form and I just can’t get away from her. Frankie rides and I can see her winning this. In contrast Santa Barbara was 4th last time out and I just can’t see it. She is lightly raced and they are clearly expecting improvement but I am happy to side with SNOWFALL and at odds of about 7/1 am advising Maximum each way bets.
