Oxford Race 4

450Mtrs (A7)

Stake: $597

SPOT ON CHEEKS (2) missed the frame last time but prior to that was an effortless A8 winner (27.82) at this track, scoring by 4.5 lengths. Has the ability and expected to bounce back. SWIFT MALACHI (5) was prominent throughout when winning two back but could manage only midfield last time when 5th and beaten 7 lengths at this track (28.30). Has ability and is one of the better chances. SALTHILL ROCKY (6) doesn't have the best strike-rate but recent form is sound. Has been in the money the last six starts, the latest when second (28.12) at this track. Expected to feature again. SAVANA POLLY (4) placed last start from this box and is in the mix again.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to finish third over 450m at this track. Cannot enthuse despite that better recent effort.

Winner two starts back at this track when scoring by half a length in 28.10. Last start finished last on April 29 over 450m at this track behind Savanalittlelegs beaten 7 lengths (28.30) in an A6. Well worth another chance.

In great form and hasn't been out of the placings in six starts. Last start finished 2nd on May 3 over 450m at this track behind Calico Jess beaten 2.5 lengths (28.12) in an A7. Should be around the mark.
