Tango could contest American Oaks
by Keith Hamer

ALEXANDER TANGO, fourth to Finsceal Beo in the Irish 1,000 Guineas, could be in line for a trip to the US for the $750,000 American Oaks.

The Grade 1 event at Hollywood Park on July 7 is one of three options for the Tommy Stack-trained filly.

"There are three races under consideration for her - the Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot, the Pretty Polly Stakes at the Curragh and the American Oaks at Hollywood Park.

"It will be one of the three. I will talk to the owner later in the week," said Stack's son andassistant, Fozzy.

"She's in great shape."

Alexander Tango also holds an entry in the Darley Irish Oaks on July 15.

Anamato On Target For America
(no author listed)

Oaks winner Anamato is on target for her trip to America after her rousing exhibition gallop at Moonee Valley on Saturday.

Anamato is booked to be flown to California next weekend where she will contest the G1 America Oaks at Hollywood park on July 7.

Her appearance at Moonee Valley was a necessity as trainer David Hayes admitted he had given the filly an easy time since her last start win in the Austraslaian Oaks at Morphettville on April 21.

"I wanted to give her a hard hit out because she hasn't run for a long time," Hayes said.

"She worked well and now I know what I can do with her before she leaves next weekend."

Hayes called on John Didham to ride Anamato in Saturday's gallop with stablemate Mercia.

The pair worked off from the 1600m with Mercia leading out by two lengths until Didham asked Anamato to extend over the last 400m.

She made up the leeway on her companion to win the gallop narrowly, running home her last 400m in a smart 23.59 seconds.

Hayes is not concerned that Anamato will arrive in California three weeks before she is due to race.

"I'd like her to settle in and be fully acclimatised by the time the race is on," he said.

Anamato will be the first Australian-trained filly to run in the American Oaks, a race that has attracted several runners from New Zealand and Japan in recent years.

The Redoute's Choice filly will be a worthy representative as she ranks among the best fillies of the season with her wins in the G1 Australasian Oaks and G2 Kewney Stakes and a third behind Miss Finland and Tuesday Joy in the G1 VRC Oaks at Flemignton last November.
