Rainbow View

The more I think about this filly the more I fancy her for the Oaks on June 5th. If we ignore the hype that surrounded her run in the 1000 Guineas she ran a fine trial for this. One of the reasons I was against her in the 1000 was because of the way her trainer handled Raven`s Pass last year. He improved throughout the year and I expect the same thing to happen with Rainbow View. The make-up of the Oaks reminds me of Balanchine`s year where she was third favourite behind a couple of trial winners. Classic form is the way to go in the Oaks and i`ve taken an initial position of £40 at a little over 5/1 on Betfair. Assuming the ground comes right i`ll be topping up the closer we get to the race.
