RACING:AIDAN O'BRIEN is anticipating bold shows from Wonder Of Wonders and Misty For Me in today's Oaks at Epsom. The Ballydoyle master has already trained Shahtoush (1998), Imagine (2001) and Alexandrova (2006) to win the Classic, and this time has four runners, with outsiders Eirnin and Why joining their better-fancied stable companions.

Wonder Of Wonders impressed when winning Chester's Cheshire Oaks last month, while Misty For Me is on a Classic double having triumphed in the Irish 1,000 Guineas less than a fortnight ago.

"Wonder Of Wonders is a filly who is bred to do it and we were very happy with her in Chester," O'Brien said. "It would be wrong not to let her take her chance.

"We always thought Misty For Me could be an Oaks filly and the plan was always to go for the two Guineas and step her up in trip after that.

"Looking at her at the Curragh, you would imagine she'll definitely get a mile-and-a-quarter, but you can't be sure with a mile-and-a- half until you run. It would be wrong not to let her run as well.

"Why is a filly we always thought a lot of and we always thought she was better than she ran. She has a great pedigree and she's well.

"Eirnin is a Galileo filly we always liked as well. She won her maiden at Navan and we'd be expecting plenty of improvement from her run at Naas.

"They are very well-bred fillies and, when we feel they could be good enough, we always think it is wrong not to let them take their chance."

He dismissed any suggestions 100 to 1 shots Eirnin and Why were in the field as pacemakers.

"I'd imagine Joseph (O'Brien) will take his time on his filly (Eirnin), and Mickael (Barzalona) will do the same on his (Why). We want to give them every chance of running well," O'Brien added.

Frankie Dettori has every faith in Godolphin's Newmarket 1,000 Guineas heroine Blue Bunting as the filly bids to emulate Kazzia, who achieved the same big-race double for Sheikh Mohammed's operation in 2002.

"She is the favourite and is a very nice filly, but it isn't going to be a walk in the park," Dettori said. "We expected her to run well at Newmarket but we thought she might not have enough speed to win a Guineas. She proved everybody wrong."

Mick Channon feels the trip will play to the strengths of the unbeaten Lingfield Oaks Trial winner Zain Al Boldan, one of two runners he saddles in the fillies' Classic.

"I'd be lying if I said I wasn't surprised (by her progress)," said the West Ilsley trainer. "We always liked her and she won as a two-year-old, when she showed an awful lot of speed.

"But this year she's been crying out for a trip, she stays well and she tends to act on any sort of ground."

Another Irish challenger, Siren's Song, impressed when winning a Navan Listed race in April.

"I'm very happy with the filly and the plan after Navan was always to come here," said trainer Jessica Harrington.

"She's only had two runs and is quite inexperienced, but we like her a lot and are looking forward to the race."
