Oxford Race 1

253Mtrs (D3)

Stake: $704

SAVANA TAYTO (2) has been out of the placings at his last couple but on the winners' heels when placing three back (15.57) in a D3 at this track. Can turn form around here. TRIANGLE LEXI (5) was unplaced two starts ago then improved to score last time out at this track over 253m (15.61). This tougher but in form and expected to play a big role again. BALLYBLACK BELLA (1) scored from this box last start and warrants respect. SHREWD MAC (6) was narrowly beaten last time, jumping from this same trap when a head second in a D3 over 253m at this track. Bold showing expected again.

Latest effort finished 5th in a D3 on April 7 over 253m at this track behind Savana Tir Nanog beaten 2.25 lengths (15.90). Looks a strong winning hope.

Not seen at best last start when she finished last over 450m at this track beaten 12 lengths (29.01) behind Sharp N Smart in an A9 on April 7. Not going well enough. Needs to lift.

Finished in the minors at big odds last time when third (15.82) at this track, making it two placings on end. Coming off a solid run but has won just two of 29 runs. Will need plenty of luck.

Solid performance after taking an early lead to score in a D4 by neck at this track over 253m (15.61). Should be around the mark.
