Oxford Race 5

450Mtrs (A9)

Stake: $596

JUNIOR FLORES (3) hit the ground running to win over the 253m at this track two runs back then raced on speed again when finishing second at this track last start. Is yet to miss the placings from this draw, including two wins, from four starts. Key chance in this line up. AIRLIE WAVE (5) finished well back at this track last time when a 7 length fifth (16.50) but scored four back at this track (28.25). A big run wouldn't surprise. FOOTFIELD BUCKO (4) has been mixing form lately, hitting the frame two back before finishing fourth (16.28) at this track in a D4. Key player on best and worth another try. GUINNESS LAD (2) was in the minors fresh from a break but missed the frame last time, finishing fifth, beaten 6 lengths, in an A8 at this track over 450m (28.71). Deserves another chance this easier class.

Below best last start when she finished last in an A9 on October 21 over 450m at this track behind Purmac Timmy beaten 11 lengths (28.66). This looks too tough.

Quickly away last start and finished runner-up over 253m at this track. Form from this trap is very strong, including two wins. Hard to beat.
