Oxford Race 1

450Mtrs (A8)

Stake: $586

MAGICAL HERO (2) is struggling to break through but racing consistently, finishing in the minors three on end. Last start rocketed out of the boxes with a scorching early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when third (28.22) at this track over 450m. Sure to be about the mark. SALTHILL ROCKY (5) finished second two starts back before missing the placings at his latest appearance in an A7 at this track over 450m (28.67). Will find this more suitable. SAVANA KILSHANIG (6) had trap 5 and was game in defeat when only 1.75 lengths from Junior Flores in second (28.19) at this track. Must be included in calculations. SET SHAPOVALOV (4) was out of the money at this circuit last start but can bounce back.

In the money at this track at his last couple of starts, most recently finishing third over 450m. Won't find this any harder. Hard to beat with even luck.

Good effort after taking an early lead to score in a D3 by 0.5 len at this track over 253m (15.88). Not keen this time.

Charged out of the boxes with a sizzling early sectional but swamped late when a close up fifth (28.35) at this track over 450m. Look for improvement. Not out of it.

Comments

In the money two back then disappointed when he finished 4th on May 9 over 450m at this track behind Spot On Cheeks beaten 6 lengths (28.67) in an A7. Capable of improvement on latest effort. Well placed and should feature.

Sizzled early but found one better when runner up (28.19) at this track over 450m. Solid showing expected.
