Oxford Race 12

450Mtrs (A1)

Prize Money: $816

COOLAVANNY STEVE (5) has missed the frame at his last two runs but could not have been more impressive the run prior in his brilliant 26.95 win at this track over 450m. Smart win three back and looks a key chance here. ALWAYS HOFFA (2) failed to come into contention last start at this track, but prior to that won by 2.75 lengths at this track (27.01) beating Lokis Deception in an A1 on July 4. Key runner on best form. SALTHILL JOKER (1) turned spotting a big start finishing fifth (27.73) last time in an A1 at this track. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. CHIPPY BRADY (4) is a last-start placegetter who will have admirers.

Had won two on end but missed the hat-trick last start when fifth and beaten 10 lengths (28.07) in an A1 over 450m at this track. Well placed and can bounce back.

Hit the ground running with a sizzling early sectional but gathered in late to finish a 5 length fourth (27.55) at this track. Has ability and worth including.
