New Zealand Oaks Form Guide & Tips
1. Sakura Girl (Best Bet – $5)
Sakura Girl comes into the race having won the main lead-up, so that’s why she goes on top.
She has been a nice type throughout her career and we have no worries about her staying the distance, so take the $5.
2. Val Di Zoldo ($8)
Comes off wins at Awapuni and Taupo. Enjoying the rise in distance and she shouldn’t be left out of calculations.
3. Diss is Dramatic ($34)
Looked good early on, but her recent form hasn’t been good enough to win the NZ Oaks. She is paying a big price, which is value, but there are better bets available.
4. Contagious (Best Roughie – $13)
This stable knows how to win the big races and she hasn’t done much wrong throughout her career, including a win and seven placings.
Second behind Val Di Zoldo last start, but she can turn that around.
5. Family Ties (Best Each Way – $8)
Only fair last time out but she’s good enough to bounce back. She’s in good hands and punters get odds worth snapping up.
6. Pennyweka ($6.50)
A little shorter in betting markets than we expected but she placed in one of the main lead-up races.
She doesn’t get left out of multiples.
7. Sedaka ($9)
Second behind Sakura Girl last start, so we must respect that form. It could pay to watch for any late betting moves.
8. Sheez Dominant ($41)
She’s not dominant. Looked better earlier on but take her on trust.
9. Helly Belly ($23)
A two-time winner this preparation, but those wins have come against easier opposition. Likely to struggle here.
10. Mischief Managed ($26)
Good enough to score consecutive wins earlier this prep. Specked after opening at $41, so keeps tabs on betting moves.
11. Flamenco ($23)
Not a bad type on her day and she could boost payouts. We wouldn’t completely leave her out of selections.
12. Fabulous Gal ($41)
Mixing her form, but we don’t think she’s strong enough to win an Oaks after just four starts.
13. Soul of Fire ($41)
Form has come against easier company and she could struggle over the distance.
14. The Woman King ($41)
Her last start wasn’t good enough to suggest backing her.
15. Malfy Rosa ($14)
Shorter odds than expected, so punters have to take that into consideration. She could have upset claims.
16. Mehzebeen ($34)
A last-start winner but she would need to find a few lengths on that.
17. Kahma Suitsya ($41)
Mixing her form and we don’t think it’s good enough at this level.
18. Savacat ($8.50)
Specked at odds down in the book. Yet to win a race but she has been around the mark. An interesting runner.
