Forecasts

Dakota Blue (5/2), Some Performance (3/1), Daler (4/1), Glenderry (7/1), Fivefortwo (7/1), Heldtoransom (14/1), Quiz Question (18/1), Transfuse (22/1), Berto Ramirez (28/1), Georg Zhukov (40/1), Felicity Smoak (80/1), Deep Vein (100/1), Carnivore (125/1), Romantic War (125/1)

DAKOTA BLUE's fourth on Irish Oaks Day is looking very good form, with a couple of Aidan O'Brien's top prospects for 2025 having been among the principals, and he can make a successful return. Some Performance, Glenderry and Daler are all promising and need considering also in what looks a good maiden.
