Nad Al Sheba: UAE Oaks Betting Preview

The UAE Oaks is only classified as a listed race, but it still contains more prize money than the Group 3 races on Thursday’s Nad Al Sheba card.

It will be televised on Sky Sports 3 and run over 1m1f on the dirt surface.

The field met in the UAE 1000 Guineas on 6 Feb over 1 furlong less, but So Shiny ran out a comfortable winner at 16/1.

She is unsurprisingly the 2/1 favourite, but there are a few negatives to take into account. She ran awkwardly and had everything her way. If she does get an easy lead, it would be a great bet in running.

Devotee is 5/2 and is the mount of Frankie Dettori. She got turned over at 1/3 in the Guineas but was practically pulled up. The vet has cleared her to run and she should put up a better show. You couldn’t discount Devotee from the Godolphin team – watch the money before the race.

11/2 Earth Living is well drawn in 3 and will appreciate the extra furlong. A good each way bet.

7/1 Sos Brilliante travelled freely last time and is clearly a moody type. May run better now without the visor.

Ever Loved and Esta Bailando are discounted, but the maiden Fire Sale could spring a surprise at 16/1. Ryan Moore is on board and the stable is in better form. Don’t be put off by the 6 next to her name – she was cramped for room in the Guineas. Drawn in 8.
