Verdict

Though a slightly underwhelming favourite in the Oaks, SANTA BARBARA remains a potentially top-notch filly and this drop back in trip could bring the best out of her, so she's preferred to the more exposed Thundering Nights, who has actually achieved a bit more to this point. Epona Plays is a danger if she gets loose on the front end.
