Oxford Race 5

450Mtrs (A6)

Stake: $609

MELBURY ROCKET (2) still a maiden but rarely out of the finish recording six placings from seven starts. Is performing well without winning placing at his last five starts. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings three times from four starts. Makes plenty of appeal. DUNBOLG RAINBOW (1) has some solid form under her belt and proved too classy last time to win by a nose at this track in a handy 27.85 beating Sharp N Smart. The form out of her last race has been franked. Expecting another bold showing. SAVANA TEHYA (5) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fourth (28.04) in an A6 at this track. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. MAGICAL SOPHIA (4) is a last-start placegetter here at this trip - worth considering.

Flew the lids with a sizzling split and led throughout with a nose win over 450m at this track (27.85). The form from her last run is stacking up nicely. Follow up.

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

Solid performance after racing in the second half of the field and improving to score in a S2 by head at this track over 650m (40.98). Good win recently but others preferred.

Started big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a sizzling early spilt before being grabbed late to finish third (28.03) at this track over 450m. Can feature.

Last start finished 4th in an A6 on May 3 over 450m at this track behind Callumslittlegem beaten 8 lengths (28.04). Is a danger.
