Rastafari Chic off to a flyer in Oaks

RasReigning champion Rastafari Chic got the defence off her Pat Hennerty Sales Cork Oaks title off to an impressive winning start on Saturday night last when she took heat two in a smashing 28.36 (.10 fast) just two spots off the best of the round 28.34 set by Macroom Motors winner Lezzie Lindsay in the opening heat.

Rastafari was sent off an easy to back 9/4 chance and those who supported the Jackie Roche (Waterford) runner never had much to worry about as she came away in contention with Happy Endings and, with the advantage of the inside, she soon asserted when they hit the back straight.

Turning on the tap she eventually had six lengths to spare over Lurriga Gold who finished best of the rest to take second by a half a length from Happy Endings, who just held on to third by a short head from the money on favourite Dromscarra Ruby.
