Oxford Race 7

253Mtrs (D2)

Stake: $632

DIRECT LUKE (3) stuck on well last time to finish 1.5 lengths back in second (15.39) at this track in a D1 over 253m. Deserves a win and gets his chance. KRANKY MCALISTER (2) followed a moderate fourth at this track two runs ago with another plain effort last time to finish fifth, beaten 2.5 lengths, in a D1 at this track over 253m (15.40). Expected to measure up this easier company. SAVANA SAKARI (6) has a fair record and proved too strong last time to win by half a length at this track in a handy 15.42 beating Miss Tee. Winner at his latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. Has hit winning form and can go on with it. CHARITY SHAY (1) is back from a break and worth including.

Missed the placings at the final run of his last campaign, finishing fifth over 253m at this track on January 9. Has a win and two minors when resuming. Looks a significant danger.

Latest effort finished last on May 10 over 253m at this track behind Salthill Albie beaten 2.5 lengths (15.40) in a D1. Has run slick time here with a 15.2 PB at the distance. Go close.

Good effort to score last start by half a length over 253m at this track in 15.42, beating Miss Tee. Holds top-three claims.
