Draw may swing it for Mozzletoff

THIS year’s Sporting Press Irish Oaks has been right out of the top drawer and this evening there are two ultra-competitive semi-finals down for decision.

Mozzletoff remains favourite to come out on top in next week’s decider, but she faces a stiff test in the opening heat where she must take on last weekend’s fastest quarter-final winner Beaming Olive and the talented Cool It Baby.

Throw big finishers Inshaarla and Maggies Whistle into the mix and it’s a contest befitting the final itself. On the strength of a favourable five draw, Mozzletoff is given the nod, but she needs to be at her most potent with Beaming Olive a serious threat from trap four.
