Spare ride has ideal profile to win the Investec Oaks
Ryan Moore believes that Kissed can win the Investec Oaks if she takes her chance.
The top jockey told his exclusive Betfair column at www.betfair.com/ryanmoore that he was delighted to be riding the unbeaten filly despite the likelihood that she could be declared a non-runner.
The close relative of last year's Derby hero Pour Moi has a high-knee action which has placed her participation in doubt unless Aidan O'Brien and his team decide that conditions are suitable.
Moore has long been of the opinion that the Galileo filly has the ideal profile for the race: "I think Kissed is tailor-made for the race. She was my idea of the Oaks winner at the start of the season.
"What wasn't there to like about her reappearance win? I think she is a high class filly. Being drawn 14 of 14 isn't ideal though; I would prefer to be drawn in the middle. But it's my job to solve that problem. I just hope that I get the chance.
"If she gets the go ahead, I genuinely believe that Kissed could be the one they all have to beat" he added.
