Bourbonette Oaks [KYO]
1 1/16 Mile Dirt Stake Purse $300.000 Filly 3 Year Olds.

1st Shes A Looker Nakamura Stables Gallardo A A

She ended up a very long odds-on favorite for this and didn’t disappoint the punters as she cruised home by a length. There would’ve been some concern early on as she went a fair way back off the pace but once she found some clear running it was all over. In only her sixth start she is beginning to emerge as a real threat for the Oaks with this fourth win. Bred by the owner she is very much like Credit Crime who will be her main rival in the KYO in that she is able to adjust her running style to suit the race pace and that is key in these big stakes races.

2nd Love Beer High Voltage Centeno D E

Another solid effort from this well named filly who was never left alone in front but was game enough to hold on for second.

3rd Tranquil Top Mb Stables Beschizza A

Bought as a beaten claimer, the trainer will be very happy with this effort as she tackled a longer trip. Trying to close from the ace draw is never easy as traffic will inevitably play a part, but she did well and never stopped trying to just miss getting second by inches.

4th Chantilly Road D J C Racing Stables Elliott S

Just behind the speed, she looked to launch from halfway, but she never really took hold of the bit and just whacked away for fourth in the end.
