Ocovango out to pour it on at Epsom.

Quote:
Investec Derby candidate Ocovango has followed a similar path to Epsom to that taken successfully by Pour Moi two years ago.

Andre Fabre brought Pour Moi for a racecourse gallop at a pre-Derby media event ahead of his victory, and he did the same with this year's representative, allowing jockey Pierre-Charles Boudot a first taste of the undulations as well. Like Pour Moi, Ocovango won the Prix Greffulhe at Saint-Cloud, where he has raced exclusively so far.

"They are totally different horses. Pour Moi was a fiery horse with a fantastic turn of foot, this is more of a galloper type. We decided to go for the Derby after he won three in a row, the last one was very convincing," said Fabre.
