Oxford Am Race 8

450Mtrs (A5)

Prize Money: $521

SAVANA RUSTIC (2) was popular in betting last start but disappointed when 6 lengths away in fourth (28.09). Was in the money the start prior. Looks the one to beat on his best form. EAGLES MAKO (1) used the inside draw to advantage last time and hit the ground running with a sensational early split, but could manage only the minor money when a 0.8 lengths second at this track over 450m in 28.13. Can feature again. SOAP BOX TAILS (5) is a capable type and proved too classy last time to win by 3 lengths at Swindon in a handy 28.97 beating Homebound Blanko. Has hit winning form and can measure up again. GENEVA EAGLE (3) did a good job to finish second last time out over 450m at this track (27.80) in an A5, the second top-three finish on the trot.

Flew the lids with a sizzling early split but found one better when clocking 28.13 over 450m at this track. Looks a strong winning hope.

Showed a hot pace early and stuck on well despite missing the frame, finishing fourth this track in 28.09. Thereabouts of late and rates highly this line-up. Expected to be in the finish.

In the money at this track at his last couple of starts, most recently finishing second over 450m. Won't find this much harder. Must be included.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to finish third over 450m at this track. Cannot enthuse despite that better recent effort.

Caught the eye last time with a sizzling early split which set up a 3 length win at Swindon in 28.97. Can measure up again with the right run.
