David Wachman is looking forward to Legatissimo having a stiffer stamina test when she bids to add the Investec Oaks to her Qipco 1000 Guineas success at Epsom on June 5.

The daughter of Danehill Dancer aims to become the first filly since Kazzia in 2002 to complete the 1000 Guineas-Oaks double and Wachman believes it was her staying qualities that helped her win the day at Newmarket.

Vent De Force gave his Gold Cup claims a major boost with an all-the-way success in the Cantor Fitzgerald Investment Trusts Henry II Stakes at Sandown.

Held in high regard by Hughie Morrison, a change of tactics saw the four-year-old receive a perfectly-executed ride from the front by Richard Hughes, asserting a furlong and a half out after Forever Now and then Simenon had challenged.

Adaay ends Limato hot streak.

Quote:

Adaay and Limato look set for a fascinating fourth clash at Royal Ascot after the former gained revenge on his old rival in the 888sport Sandy Lane Stakes at Haydock Park.

The Henry Candy-trained Limato brought a five-race unbeaten record into the newly upgraded Group Two, a winning run which included a couple of comprehensive defeats of Adaay at Newbury last summer and Ascot last month.

Here are my tips for Epsom Derby day

Epsom

2.00 Resonant to win
2.35 Buratino to win
3.10 Flintshire to win
3.45 Duke Of Firenze E/W
4.30 Golden Horn to win and Storm the Stars E/W
5.15 War Singer E/W and Barwick E/W
5.50 Pearl Blue E/W and Iseemist E/W

E/W denotes each way

Golden Frankie does it again.:D

http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...=&sub=&day=Sat

Quote:

Frankie Dettori steered Golden Horn to a brilliant victory in the Investec Derby at Epsom.

John Gosden's three-year-old was sent off the 13-8 favourite for the premier Classic following a fine display in the Dante Stakes at York last month and the market leader was settled towards the rear of the field for much of the mile-and-a-half Classic.

Dettori allowed his mount to ease closer from the home turn and he dispelled any doubts about his stamina as he quickened clear of stable companion Jack Hobbs to give the popular Italian rider his second taste of Derby glory.
