Oxford Race 4

450Mtrs (A1)

Stake: $980

HITTHELIDS MARCO (1) boasts strong form at this distance having won three times from four starts. Scored by 6 lengths last time (26.86) in an A1 over 450m at this track. With a clean break looks hard to beat. SHORTSHANKS (2) is in hot form after clocking a fast 27.26 victory two back then followed up with a 26.97 win at this track over 450m last time. Expected to feature again. COOLAVANNY STEVE (4) scored a 2.75 lengths win this course and distance last time in a personal Best Time (26.97) and also clocked the quickest win on the card. Harder here but will be in this for a long way. SAVANA ALICE (3) boasts a strong record this journey here with two wins and two minors from five tries. Hit the frame latest (27.37) when third at this track in a OR. Can feature with the right run.

Had won two on end but missed the hat-trick last start when third and beaten 5 lengths (27.37) in a OR over 450m at this track. Deserves another chance.

Racing well of late. In the money two starts back at this track then finished third at his latest appearance in an A1 at this track over 450m (27.20). Decent recent form so demands respect.
