’Stronger’ Legatissimo set for Oaks glory

David Wachman is looking forward to seeing Legatissimo test her powers over the mile and a half at Epsom as she bids to become the first 1000 Guineas winner in over a decade to double up in the Investec Oaks today.

The daughter of Danehill Dancer stormed home at Newmarket in early May under a brilliant Ryan Moore ride, a victory which came just a week after a Listed victory over nine and a half furlongs at Gowran Park.

Legatissimo steps back up in distance as she bids to become the first filly since Kazzia in 2002 to complete the Classic double.
