It is Oaks day at Epsom I am going to look at the key trends for the opening race (the Princess Elizabeth Stakes) and then have a crack at the ultra-competitive Epsom Dash on Saturday.
We start with the Princess Elizabeth Stakes and there has only been one winner of this race at double figure odds since 1997. Since then the highest winning SP has been 7/1.
There have been no fewer than 9 winning favourites in the last 18 renewals and all bar one winner since came from the top four in the betting.
No 3yo has won since Kootenay in 2002 and 11 of the last 12 winners were aged either 4yo or 5yo.
A rating of 100+ looks essential and 46 horses have lined up here with an official rating smaller than 100 and not one of them has won.
All of the last 10 winners were rated 103+ and that looks as good a statistic as any. All that leads us to 108 rated Odeliz and 110 rated Lightning Thunder and it is the first named runner who I have backed.Read More »Epsom Tips from Dr Nick
