Oxford Am Race 4

253Mtrs (D2)

Stake: $633

BATTER AWAY (5) drew the outside trap and was game in defeat when only 1.3 lengths from the winner Best Aoife (27.70) at this track. Makes plenty of appeal. BURROW SHELLY (3) had won two in a row before finishing fourth (15.52) last time at this track. Worth another chance. SAVANA GRANDAD (6) boasts a strong record this journey with seven wins and five minors from 19 tries. Recorded a 2.5 lengths win (15.52) in a D2 last time at this track. Looks well placed here and among the chances. SMOKES (2) gets a chance to improve on an unplaced run at her latest outing at this circuit.

Winner two starts back at this track when scoring by one length in 15.48. Last start finished 4th over 253m at this track beaten a long neck (15.52) behind Savana Mowgli in a D2 on July 10. Has claims on best and can bounce back.

Overdue for a win recording three minors on end, the latest sizzling early but finishing in the minors again at this track, clocking 27.70. Overdue for a win and gets his chance this time.
