Savethelastdance: odds-on favourite for the Oaks

Savethelastdance is not for me and I will be laying her in the Juddmonte Irish Oaks (3.45) at the Curragh. I don't fancy her at all. 

Aidan O'Brien looks to have a very strong hand as he saddles the top two in the market in the shape of the aforementioned Oaks runner-up and impressive Ribblesdale winner Warm Heart.

It is a deep race, though, and the presence of the placed horses from the Ribblesdale, Lumiere Rock and Bluestocking, plus a dangerous lurker in Azazat makes this a contest to savour and one in which you definitely take on the favourite.
