On 15 July Lailani was moved up sharply in class for the Group One Irish Oaks over one and a half miles at the Curragh and started the 5/1 second favourite behind the Barry Hills- trained Relish The Thought who had finished third in The Oaks. The other ten runners included Time Away (Musidora Stakes), Rebelline (Pretty Polly Stakes (Ireland)), Mot Juste (also trained by Ed Dunlop and the winner of the Pretty Polly Stakes (Great Britain)) and Sequoyah (Moyglare Stud Stakes). Lailani was restrained by Dettori and turned into the straight in sixth place behind the outsider Chamela Bay. Mot Juste took the lead in the last quarter mile but Lailani produced a strong late run to gain the advantage in the final furlong and won by a neck from her stablemate.

157 Flaubert believed in and pursued the principle of finding "le mot juste" ("the right word"), which he considered as the key means to achieve quality in literary art. He worked in sullen solitude, sometimes occupying a week in the completion of one page, never satisfied with what he had composed. In Flaubert's correspondence he intimates this, explaining correct prose did not flow out of him and that his style was achieved through work and revision.Edmund Gosse (1911) Flaubert, Gustave entry in Encyclopædia Britannica Eleventh Edition, Volume 10, Slice 4 This painstaking style of writing is also evident when one compares Flaubert's output over a lifetime to that of his peers (for example Balzac or Zola).

The filly started 11/2 third choice in the betting for the Irish Oaks over one and a half miles at the Curragh in July, but never threatened the leaders and finished seventh of the twelve runners, six lengths behind the winner Lailani. Rebelline was off the course for more than two and a half months before returning in October when she was sent to France to contest the Group 1 Prix de l'Opéra over 2000 metres at Longchamp Racecourse. She finished strongly and took third place, beaten one and a half lengths and two lengths by Terre A Terre and Mot Juste. Two weeks later she started a 16/1 outsider for the Champion Stakes at Newmarket and came home eighth of the twelve runners behind Nayef.
