Oxford Race 4

450Mtrs (A3)

Prize Money: $700

SPOT ON BUD (4) isn't a quick beginner but comes home hard and has run into the minors the last five start, the latest winding up strongly when second (27.39) in an A3 at this track. Wound up strongly to place two back then did the same last time, finishing on late when second (27.39) in an A3 at this track. Capable of going well again. SAVANA CLOWNS (5) recorded six placings in a row before an overdue win last time, scoring by 1.5 lengths (27.84) at this track. Makes plenty of appeal if runs up to latest. RATHRONAN DREAM (6) was midfield throughout and finished there last time when 4th (27.52) at this track. Must be included in calculations. SAVANA PRETTY (1) placed last time at this track and distance - worth some thought.

Comments

Followed a minor placing at this track two runs ago with a sound second, beaten 2.25 lengths, last start in an A3 at this track over 450m (27.51). Decent recent form so demands respect.

Form slipped last start when she finished 4th over 450m at this track beaten 6 lengths (27.85) behind Savana Eliza in an A3 on August 4. Likely to struggle this time.

Flew the lids with a sizzling early split but found one better when clocking 27.70 over 450m at this track. Has a solid record from this draw including five wins. Expected to go well.

Form has been sound without winning, placing at her last five starts, the latest when second (27.39) over 450m at this track. Better than the last couple of runs suggest. Expected to feature.

Could only manage fourth last time out over 450m at this track, adding to some plain results of late. Likely to struggle this time.
