2022 Kennedy Oaks Tips

Renaissance Woman heads the betting market for the 2022 Kennedy Oaks, with Bjorn Baker having a talented filly on his hands. Although she has never raced at Flemington Racecourse, her performance at Caulfield was an eye-catching one. She was sent off at 4/1 in the Schweppes Ethereal Stakes on 15 October before landing a victory.

The three-year-old saw off Foxy Cleopatra although there was less than a length between these horses in this Group Three encounter over one mile and two furlongs. Previously to this, Renaissance Woman was sent off at enormous odds of 60/1 in the Group 1 Darley Flight Stakes, although she did herself every credit in that race.

Foxy Cleopatra will be aiming to frank the form from the Schweppes Ethereal Stakes and the Trent Busuttin & Natalie Young-trained runner is sure to be a warm order for this encounter, while So Dazzling is an interesting contender. She lined up in the recent Kennedy Oaks Preview on 18 September and claimed a victory as the 3/1 favourite.

She’s Extreme has bags of experience for a three-year-old filly and there was a second-placed finish in the Darley Flight Stakes in the same race as Renaissance Woman finished further down the field. Anthony Cummings could have the best each-way selection in the race and we’d side with her to run a big race here.
