Oxford Race 13

253Mtrs (D1)

Stake: $793

DIRECT LUKE (3) turned in a solid run last start over 253m at this track finishing 4th and beaten only 2.5 lengths (15.51). Solid record here at the distance winning seven races. Has claims if he runs up to expectations. CHIPPY BRADY (4) is an accomplished sprinter with a great record at the short dashes. Was too tough when scoring last time over 253m at this track in a D1 (15.30). Solid record here at the distance winning five races. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. Sure to measure up. SAVANA MIST (5) was a course and distance placegetter (15.46) last time also from the same draw, finishing a 2 length third in a D1. Key chance on best form. SAVANA SAKARI (6) is a last-start placegetter at this track and distance – sure to have admirers.

Comes off a (15.30) win last time, scoring by half a length in a D1 over 253m at this track. Form strong at this course and distance, with five wins and a placing from eight starts. Appeals greatly.
