Oxford Race 2

450Mtrs (A8)

Prize Money: $535

SAVANA MAGPIE (4) has an honest record despite remaining a maiden and is long overdue for a win, having placed five of nine career runs. Although beaten was game in defeat finishing close to the winner. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings four times from seven attempts. Can go on with it. SAVANA EMPRESS (1) clocked a new course and distance PB last time, finishing a 0.9 lengths third behind Footfield Betsy in 28.03. Looks a leading chance again. MAGICAL SOPHIA (3) turned in a moderate performance last time when fifth at this track over 450m behind Trumpers Derek (28.35) in an A8. Scored at her previous run. Shapes as one to consider. MAGICAL HERO (5) can return to form after missing the top-three at this circuit last time out.

Comments

Flew the lids with a sizzling early split but could manage only third (28.19) over 450m at this track. Be tough to make an impression against this lot.

In the money at this track at her last couple of starts, most recently finishing second over 450m. Won't find this much tougher. Definite contender.
