Oxford Race 7

450Mtrs (A7)

Stake: $693

SAVANA SHADY (4) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fourth (28.42) last time in an A7 at this track. Has ability and can atone. HIYA SALAH (5) produced a modest effort most recently when sixth at this track over 450m behind Savana Sparky (28.58) in an A7. Has ability and is one of the better chances. PURMAC TIMMY (2) with some luck can improve on an unplaced run last time here. SALTHILL ROCKY (6) can add to a sequence of top-three finishes.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to be beaten just a head into second over 253m at this track. The recent effort suggests he is ready to win.

Flew the lids with a sizzling early split but gathered in late when a narrow fourth (28.49) over 450m at this track. Look for improvement. Not out of it.

Races well at this course and distance. Last start finished 4th in an A7 on April 11 over 450m at this track behind Savana Sparky beaten 9 lengths (28.42). Has ability and worth including.

Last start finished last over 450m at this track beaten 11 lengths (28.58) behind Savana Sparky in an A7 on April 11. Tipped to improve sharply. Rates highly on best form.

Overdue for a win recording three minors on end, the latest sizzling early but finishing in the minors again at this track, clocking 28.37. Can't recommend against this lot.
