Oxford Race 4

450Mtrs (A1)

Prize Money: $802

BARAN TOMBSTONE (4) had the drop on the lead and went on to be beaten 4.5 lengths into third (28.09) at this track in an A1 over 450m. Must come into calculations. IS THIS WISE (3) was strongly fancied last time and hit the ground running with a sensational early split, paving the way for a 2.75 lengths win at this track over 450m in 27.46. Has a solid record from this box including two wins and a minor placing. Sure to measure up. SAVANA RUSTIC (2) is heading the right way. Out of the placings two back then scored by a nose last start at this track over 450m (27.53). Up a notch here but latest effort enough to test this field. MILTON ARIEL (1) was well fancied last time on the strength of a win two back but could only manage fifth (27.86) at this track.

Winner two starts back at this track when scoring by 5 lengths in 27.35. Last start finished last on August 2 over 450m at this track behind Rooftop Ron beaten 9 lengths (27.86) in an A1. May well be worth another chance.

Flew the lids with scorching early pace and clocked 27.53 in a nose win over 450m at this track. The form from the last run stacks up well. Worth including.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 2.75 lengths over 450m at this track in a handy 27.46, beating Hitthelids Paulo. Key chance on that latest effort.

Handy type with a solid strike-rate. Winner two back then well fancied last time and could manage only third over 450m at this track in 28.09. Leading contender.

Flew the lids with a sizzling early split but gathered in late when a narrow fifth (27.55) over 450m at this track. Not up to this.
