Oxford Race 2

450Mtrs (A4)

Prize Money: $587

BALLYVODANE ROCK (2) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing fifth (27.91) in an A4 at this track. Has claims if he runs up to expectations. THE YELLOW PERIL (4) has been in the placings at his last two runs, most recently when second (27.70) in an A4 over 450m at this track. This looks easier and expected to improve sharply. JACKIES HERO (1) jumped from this trap last time and also the same course and distance when a 2.5 lengths third (27.78) in an A3. Rates a key player. SAVANA HEAVEN (3) finished third two starts back before missing the placings at her latest appearance in an A3 at this track over 450m (27.96). This easier and can improve sharply.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to finish third over 450m at this track. Can take this out on the back of that sound recent effort.

Hit the ground running with a sizzling early sectional but gathered in late to finish a 5 length fifth (27.91) at this track. Ignore last start. Has ability and can feature in the finish.

Comments

Sent out long odds last time but rocketed out of the boxes with a scorching early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 4.5 lengths sixth (27.96) over 450m at this track. Hard to envisage a win.

Followed a minor placing at this track two runs ago with a sound second, beaten 2.5 lengths, last start in an A4 at this track over 450m (27.70). Hard to beat.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to finish third over 450m at this track. Racing well enough to feature in the finish.
