A competitive and representative renewal of this prestigious fillies prize, if only an average one on form in all probability; historically, the race isn't the graveyard for Oaks runners that it's sometimes portrayed as, 3 of the previous 5 winners having run in the Epsom classic, and Oaks runners were again closely involved, certainly upholding the high level of the Epsom form, though ultimately upstaged by a more lightly-raced filly, who would have been an unlucky loser; Bright And Clear was soon trying to dictate.
