Epsom Derby Festival: Zeyaadah | Cazoo Oaks (Fillies’ Group 1) | Dom’s Pick [+£3.87 profit on £1 stakes for Flat NAP’s]

It’s the eve of the Epsom Derby Festival and we’ve selected our best bet of the day in the first Classic of the weekend, the Group 1 Cazoo Oaks.

Roger Varian looks on at Chester Racecourse — *Roger Varian attempts to win a first Oaks at the Epsom Derby Festival this Friday*

After a solid second at Chester when giving the winner and Friday rival Dubai Foundation 3lbs, we’re siding with Roger Varian’s Zeyaadah to reward her handler with a first win in the contest.

She enjoyed a peerless two-year-old campaign and the form from her Listed win at Newmarket on Halloween is working out very well.

Although runner-up in Cheshire last time out, she was giving weight away and was hardly far behind the victor on that occasion.

The extra step up in trip is sure to suit and she represents plenty of value over Aidan O’Brien duo Santa Barbara and Snowfall.
