Oxford Am Race 8

450Mtrs (A3)

Stake: $688

AN MAISTIR (5) has hit the frame here at the last two runs, most recently finishing second beaten a neck (27.53). No wins but has two minors at this course. Likely to feature again. MELBURY ROCKET (2) continues to race in super honest form hitting the frame at 15 of 29 career runs, winning two back before finishing third last time (28.00) over 450m at this track. Meets a moderate line up and should run well. DA BADMAN (4) recorded a half a length win in an A4 last time 27.93 at this track and trip and also jumping from the same draw. Bold showing expected again. TOPPER SHEA (3) is going well, filling a minor placing two back then was a 2.25 lengths winner of an A4 at this track over 450m (27.49). Faces tougher but hard to fault latest and worth including.

Chases back to back wins after scoring over 450m at this track in 27.49, set up by a sizzling early sectional. Looks a solid contender.

Flew the lids with a hot pace early and hit the frame with a neck second (27.53) at this track, making it two placings on end. Looks well placed and should prove hard to beat.
