Aviate heads market as 15 declared for Investec Oaks on Friday. Who will win?
Aviate Oaks Favourite
A total of 15 fillies have been declared for Friday’s Investec Oaks and Epsom’s official betting partner totesport make Aviate the 9/2 favourite. She is trained by Henry Cecil, master trainer of the filly and partnered by the excellent Tom Queally.
Henry Cecil has trained eight winners of the fillies’ classic and is doubly represented in this year’s renewal. His other runner Timepiece (Eddie Ahern) is currently third in the market at 6/1 just behind second-favourite Rumoush at 5/1. Jim Bolger’s Akdarena has been cut into 8/1 (from 9/1) whilst Champagnelifestyle has also shortened to 20/1 (from 25/1).
‘Whereas the Derby betting has all been about one horse, we’ve seen a good spread of money on a number of fillies in the Oaks and it’s still impossible to say which one will go off favourite on Friday,’ said totesport spokesman George Primarolo.
A field of 10 has been declared for the Investec Coronation Cup and Fame And Glory heads the market with totesport at 11/10. Last year’s Oaks heroine Sariska is next in the betting at 9/4 with Cavalryman a 7/1 shot. totesport have made just the one change which sees Jukebox Jury clipped into 12/1 from 14/1. Fame and Glory should win in my view.
