New Zealand Oaks Form Guide & Tips

(1) Leica Lucy (Best Bet – $1.45)

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

Leica Lucy is a staying superstar and we can’t see her being beaten. We think she wins the NZ Oaks by lengths, and she’ll eventually be racing in Australia.

She owns five wins from six starts and most of those have come easily, and it’s not a case of if she wins, it’s a case of by how far.

(2) Island Life (Best Roughie – $13.00)

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

She’s an upset hope after getting back to winning form at Ellerslie last start. She finished off nicely against a small field, and that should give her confidence.

The breeding is there and she’s paying value odds.

(3) Connello ($16.00)

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

The daughter of Time Test does her best racing at Trentham but she ran 7.3 lengths behind Leica Lucy last time out.

We can’t see her turning that run around enough to go close.

(4) Myakkabelle (Best Each Way – $9.50)

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

She ran second to the favourite last start, beaten 3.3 lengths. She’s another that needs to improve to win, but she’s the second-best option.

Punters get $2.38 for her to run in the top three, which could be her best chance.

(5) This Time Girl ($15.00)

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

We’re happy to include her in first four picks following a tidy second placing behind Island Life.

It was a solid effort from the daughter of Contributer, who could appreciate the rise to 2400m.

(6) Eye Candy ($27.00)

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

She is bred to be handy but we don’t think she’s mentally there yet. She might need another campaign under her belt to show her best.

(7) Dubai Gold ($20.00)

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

Her form is consistent enough to recommend and she comes off a third placing behind Leica Lucy and Myakkabelle, so that form checks out.

Bred to stay, the daughter of Pride of Dubai can’t be left out of first four picks.

(8) Skymax ($35.00)

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

She is having her 20^th start as a three-year-old, which is a busy career. That fatigue could show up on Saturday.

(9) Thrilling ($35.00)

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

Yet to win from five starts and we don’t see that changing. We would much prefer to see her racing at maiden grades than Group 1.

(10) Alaskan ($27.00)

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

Her win three back was solid but she found nothing when ninth at Trentham last start. She would need to find many lengths just to finish in the money.

(11) Mid Ocean ($27.00)

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

The daughter of Ocean Park placed behind Livid Sky last start and she could be a big improver. Finishing third or fourth would be her best go, so she could sneak into calculations.

(12) Piccolino ($35.00)

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

A debut winner before struggling at New Plymouth and Trentham. She needs to lift on recent form.

(13) Wyndsong ($35.00)

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

Fourth behind Island Life at Ellerslie. That was a field of six runners, and against a much bigger field here, she could struggle.

(14) Lady Diva ($41.00)

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

Disappointing effort when rising in class last start and we would be surprised if she ran well in the New Zealand Oaks.

(15) Girl Talk ($41.00)

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

Yet to win from five starts and she’s another maiden runner without much winning hope.
