Alex an ace, says Fallon

ALEXANDROVA could be the one to beat in the Vodafone Oaks on Friday, according to her jockey Kieren Fallon.

The Aidan O’Brien-trained filly is favourite at around 100-30 for the Classic despite being beaten by one of her Epsom rivals, Short Skirt, in the Musidora Stakes at York.

“I can’t see why she wouldn’t handle Epsom. She went around Tralee in a maiden which is quite a tricky, sharp track. She travels well,” Fallon told Racing UK yesterday.
