Oxford Race 2

253Mtrs (D4)

Prize Money: $509

FREE DERRY (6) was strongly fancied last time but finished second (15.78), beaten 2.75 lengths. Leading chance again. SAVANA TIR NANOG (3) put in a much better performance last start when in the placings at this track behind Savana Marylou (15.79) in a D4. Can feature again. SPOT ON RUBY (5) has been in the money at her last two runs, most recently when second beaten 3 lengths (16.03). Expecting another good run. SAVANA MAYHEM (4) is worth some thought after being close-up on debut. Can only improve.

Could only manage fifth last time out over 253m at this track, a continuation of some ordinary form. Needs to find a bit more to test these.

Comments

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to finish third over 253m at this track. Can take this out on the back of that sound recent effort.

Solid debut over 253m at this track when settled midfield but wound up nicely to finish third (16.25) and beaten 0.9 lengths. Strong each way chance on debut run.
