Oxford Am Race 8

253Mtrs (D2)

Prize Money: $576

FARLOE ELTON (4) jumped from this trap last time and also the same course and distance when a 2.75 lengths third (15.61) in a D1. Expected to feature again. BURROW SHELLY (5) followed a minor placing two runs ago with a plain effort last time to finish fourth, beaten 3.5 lengths, in a D1 at this track over 253m (15.56). Well placed this easier grade and must be included. SAVANA NIPPER (3) was a strong course and distance winner last time, claiming a D2 in a powerful 15.37 and a new PB here. Expecting another bold showing. SAVANA GRANDAD (6) followed a D1 win two back with a fifth, beaten 5 lengths, in a D1 at this track over 253m (15.68) last time. Worth another chance this easier line-up.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to finish third over 253m at this track. May find this a bit too tough.

Good effort after taking an early lead to score in a D2 by neck at this track over 253m (15.37). Looks a solid contender.

Racing consistently, including a win two back at this track, before a 2.75 lengths third (15.61) over 253m at this track last time. Key chance on best form.

Comments

Below his best last time over 253m at this track (15.68) in a D1, finishing 5 lengths away in fifth. Strong record at this track and trip with nine wins and eight placings from 26 starts. Makes strong appeal.
