Santa Barbara Is One of Five O'Brien Fillies in Oaks

Santa Barbara will head a team of five for Aidan O'Brien in the Cazoo Oaks (G1) as 14 fillies stood their ground for the third Classic of the season June 4 at Epsom Racecourse.

The daughter of Camelot  finished fourth when sent off joint-favorite for the Qipco One Thousand Guineas (G1) at Newmarket last month on just her second career start—a test the trainer said she passed with "flying colors"—and heads the betting at 5-2 with Paddy Power for the group 1.

Stablemate Snowfall , an impressive winner of the Tattersalls Musidora Stakes (G3) at York last month, has also been declared as well as the well-supported Divinely . La Joconde  and Willow  complete the team for the Ballydoyle trainer.

Ryan Moore has been jocked up on Santa Barbara, with Frankie Dettori on board Snowfall. Seamie Heffernan will get the leg-up on Divinely, while Willow and La Joconde will be ridden by Wayne Lordan and William Buick, respectively.

The Roger Varian-trained duo, Teona  and Zeyaadah , spearhead the home challenge, with David Egan booked to ride Teona instead of Andrea Atzeni, who partnered her to finish second behind Snowfall in the Musidora, with Jim Crowley on Zeyaadah following their second place in the Weatherbys Epassport Robert Sangster Memorial Cup Cheshire Oaks.

Dubai Fountain , who beat Zeyaadah at Chester, will aim to provide Franny Norton with a first Classic success, while Qipco One Thousand Guineas (G1) second Saffron Beach  has been declared following a workout at Epsom last Monday.

Betfair Pretty Polly winner Mystery Angel  takes up her engagement for the in-form George Boughey having been supplemented earlier in the week and the Lingfield Novibet Oaks Trial 1-2-3 finishers, Sherbet Lemon , Save A Forest , and Ocean Road , reoppose.

Noon Star  was a notable absentee having been scratched from the race on Wednesday following a setback.
