Investec Oaks Heroine Snow Fairy 3-1 Favourite for Irish Oaks 14/07/10

William Hill have installed the Investec Oaks winner Snow Fairy as their 3-1 favourite for this Sunday’s Darley sponsored Irish equivalent.

Hibaayeb and Eldalil, the first and second home in the Ribblesdale, were both supplemented for the race and are rated 4-1 and 13-2 for the Curragh contest.

Rosanara (2nd in the French Oaks) and Meeznah (2nd in the English Oaks) are both rated 9-2 shots by Hills - who also offer odds of 8-1 about Aidan O’Brien’s leading contender Remember When.

O’Brien, who recorded a hat-trick of Irish Oaks successes between 2006-9 with Alexandrova, Peeping Fawn, and Moonstone, has also entered Awe Inspiring, Dance On By, Famous, Ice Empress and Lady Lupus.

Some of the other interesting entries include the Jim Bolger trained Akadrena, and the Mahmood Al Zarooni trained Miss Jean Brodie.

Brazilian Beauty, Crystal Gal, Desert Sage, and Kings Vintage complete the 17 strong list.
