Black Bear to roar home
Morning everyone. Today's main attraction is the Investec Oaks at Epsom (4.05pm) and I reckon Sariska can provide Michael Bell with his second Classic.
She's set to start favourite after an impressive warm-up win at York in the Musidora Stakes and should handle the track well. I'll be having a £20 win at 3/1 although watch out for Aidan O'Brien's Perfect Truth who could provide the biggest threat.
As for tomorrow's Derby (3.45pm), Sea The Stars, a splendid winner of the 2000 Guineas, heads the market at 5/2 but I'm leaning towards the in-form Black Bear Island (pictured) at 7/1.
Bear, among six entries for O'Brien, proved his stamina at York last month after a late swoop landed the Dante and the extra distance should benefit him with champion jockey Ryan Moore on the saddle.
I'll have £10 each-way at 7/1. Good luck with your betting this weekend and feel free to share your tips in the boxes below.
All-time record: Bets 104; Winners 31; Losers 72; Non-runners 1; Profit £822.93.
Have picked Black Bear Island, good luck to this racehorse.

Sea The Stars is a certain for the Derby. I've just slapped a monkey on him at 3/1 and am tempted to have a cheeky e/w bet on Crowded House. Can't wait to count my winnings!
