Express steams home in Oaks

EXPRESS TUNE set herself up for a tilt at the Sporting Press Irish Oaks with an authoritative display in the McCarthy Insurance Group Cork Oaks at Curraheen Park on Saturday night.

The Michael Dalton owned and trained bitch again displayed massive back straight pace to take over from the favourite Sarah Said So before halfway and was in control afterwards, eventually having a length and a half to spare in 28.63.

Connections are now likely to let her take her chance in the classic at Shelbourne.
