Leave it to Lucielle

THE hugely exciting Lady Lucielle can land the McCarthy Insurance Group Oaks final at Curraheen Park tonight.

The selection’s reputation has soared in recent weeks following a couple of top drawer performances and she can scoop the €6,250 prize at the main expense of Tyrur Tinkerbell.

A trap-to-line 28.55 heat winner, Fraser Black’s ace displayed class and determination when coming from behind in 28.93 in last week’s semis.

Three lengths off the pace after being involved in a first bend collision, Lady Lucielle remounted her challenge at the third turn before powering home in 28.93.

Tyrur Tinkerbell, second behind Lady Lucielle in the heats, underlined her claims when recording a runaway 28.69 win last week. Tyrur Tinkerbell looks a major player but Lady Lucielle has done nothing but impress in recent weeks and can continue on an upward curve.
