Oxford Race 5

450Mtrs (A6)

Prize Money: $607

BALLYMAC HARLEM (6) was well fancied in betting last start but could only manage 2 lengths away in second (28.11). Can go on with it. IMA ROCKET FRAN (4) missed the frame latest when fifth at this track (28.43) but scored three back at this track (27.81). Has a good record here at this journey. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. One of the better chances. CUCKOO FUND (2) latest effort finished 2nd in an A6 on February 20 over 450m at this track behind Shanghai Willie beaten 2.75 lengths (27.98). Rates a key chance on best figures. SUSSEX COSMOS (1) can improve on an unplaced run here last time out.

Followed a minor placing at this track two runs ago with a sound second, beaten 2.75 lengths, last start in an A6 at this track over 450m (27.98). Not to be underestimated.
