Forecasts

Thundering On (11/10), Estrange (13/8), Red Letter (17/2), Venetian Lace (12/1), Beautify (14/1), One Look (18/1), Nyra (33/1), Wemightakedlongway (50/1), Qilin Queen (50/1), Carolina Jetstream (66/1)

Verdict

THUNDERING ON produced one of the best winning performances in the Oaks this century and she'll be hard to beat if in anything like the same form. Estrange's impressive reappearace win at Carlisle suggests she can mix it at the top level again this season and she's second choice ahead of Red Letter.
