Oxford Race 6

650Mtrs (Or1)

Stake: $1,352

VENETIAN MICK (5) shapes well after a fast run last time, finishing third in a OR3 at this track in 39.57. Expected to push the clock again here. JAVA JOAN (1) looks overdue after a minor placing two back then finishing third at her latest appearance in a OR at Towcester over 500m (29.43). Should improve further this easier company. REMEMBER BETTY (6) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fourth (42.75) last time in a OR at Hove. Has ability and can measure up. DA BALLERINA (4) comes off a (40.71) win last time, scoring by 1.75 lengths in a S3 over 650m at this track. Has three wins already from this trap.

In the money at Towcester at her last couple of starts, most recently finishing third over 500m. Won't find this any harder. Right in this.

Charged out of the boxes with a sizzling early sectional but swamped late when a close up fourth (27.30) at this track over 450m. Happy to risk in this.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to be beaten just a nose into third over 650m at this track. Hard to make a case on this occasion.

Filled a minor placing last time over 650m (39.57) at this track in a OR3, beaten 2.25 lengths. Boasts good form here at the journey with six wins and three minor placings from 10 tries. Expected to go well.
