Oxford Race 4

450Mtrs (A2)

Prize Money: $661

GAGAS MERRY (6) was well supported last time but could only manage third (27.23), beaten 6 lengths. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Expected to feature in the finish again. SWIFT QUILL (3) beaten last start over the 450m at this track but finished in the minors in a respectable 27.23. Has the ability and can measure up. SWIFT FRANCESCA (5) stalked the lead after a clean break from trap 4 and went on to finish second (27.37) at this track in an A2 over 450m. Form from her last run is proving to be solid. Can feature again. SAVANA RODNEY (2) hit the frame here last start so don't underestimate.

Finished second last start over 450m at this track behind Zinedine Zedog in an A2. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Has eight victories from this draw. Looks a big chance.

Showed scorching pace early but found one better when beaten 4 lengths over 450m this track in 27.23. Should be right in the finish.

Not seen at best last start when he finished last over 476m at Swindon beaten 51 lengths (32.68) behind Pin Position in a OR1 on August 30. Other runners look much more appealing.

Finished fourth two starts ago then regained form last time out when she found one better over 450m in an A2 at this track. Looks to have turned things around so follow her up.

Form has been sound without winning, placing at her last four starts, the latest when third (27.23) over 450m at this track. The form out of the last run measures up. Hard to beat.
