Amelia Earhart

8st 13lb

J: Colin Keane

T: A P O’Brien

Disappointing favourite on rain-softened ground in the Oaks (before fifth in the Irish version) but has since fared much better on good/good to firm and last two starts have safely established her stamina at about 1m6f; just under 7l behind Highwayman in the St Leger at Doncaster on first occasion, and it's a bit hard to envisage her overturning that deficit, even though close third in Longchamp Group 1 two weeks ago was better form.

Best ratings on good or firmer; limitations seemingly exposed on last four starts, so it's easy to forget she was 7-4 favourite for the Oaks on first of those, following a Cheshire Oaks win on reappearance; didn't see out 1m6f at Goodwood on penultimate start but rallied well for a close second in 1m4f Group 3 on latest, so a little hope might have been renewed.

Leopardstown (1m, y) maiden winner started off season in promising fashion with impressive Cheshire Oaks (1m3f, good) victory; well beat when sent off favourite for Epsom Oaks and limit has probably been found since with fifth place finishes in Irish Oaks and Lillie Langtry; that form still puts her in with a winning chance down in grade.
