Sweet smell of success for Oxx
Off the track since chasing home Sariska in the Darley Irish Oaks last July, Roses For The Lady was sent off 6/4 favourite to make a successful start to her four-year-old season and, opposed in the market by British raider Merchant Of Dubai, set out to make all under new stable-jockey Fran Berry.
Pressed all the way by the Robert Winston-ridden second favourite, Roses For The Lady set a strong pace and, to her credit, kept finding plenty in the closing stages to score by three lengths.
