Sariska in good form for Oaks treble bid

02-Aug-09

Sariska is primed for action in the Darley Yorkshire Oaks after seeing her Classic form well franked on the final day of Glorious Goodwood.

Midday, who finished second behind Michael Bell's star at Epsom and third in the Irish Oaks, ran out a comprehensive winner of the Nassau Stakes at the Sussex track, with Epsom fourth Rainbow View filling the runner-up spot.

Bell, who sent out Moneycantbuymelove for third place in the 10-furlong Group One contest, said: "The Oaks form was really franked with the second and fourth running so well."

He went on: "Midday thoroughly deserved to win a race like that and it was doubly satisfying for us as the Oaks form was franked and Moneycantbuymelove was placed at Group One level.

"York is very much the plan with Sariska and she's in good form. The Arc is the big plan and we've tried to save some fuel so she's fresh and well in October, which is why she didn't run on Saturday.

"Like all good horses, she can go on any ground. She won on good to firm in the Musidora and it was heavy in Ireland last time, so the ground wouldn't be a worry."

While Moneycantbuymelove so far falls short of her illustrious stablemate's achievements, Bell was nonetheless pleased with her effort and is now targeting Group Two success in the Irish National Stud Blandford Stakes at the Curragh on August 12.

"It was an excellent run on her first try in Group One company. I wouldn't say she exceeded my expectations, but she certainly didn't let us down," said Bell.

"I think there's a lot more to come with her as well and her next target will be the Blandford Stakes at the Curragh. The ultimate aim for her is the EP Taylor Stakes (at Woodbine) in the autumn."
