Oxford Race 3

450Mtrs (A3)

Stake: $673

SAVANA HEAVEN (3) Was strong on the speed before fading to finish 3rd last start at the track in 27.8s. Likely to be well placed early. Performing honestly since returning from a spell. Live winning chance. AVION THUNDER (5) Struggled with the pace when 6th last run at this venue. Looking past the last run. Goes very close. MELBURY ROCKET (1) Faded at the finish when 2nd last run here in 27.87s. Shows good early pace. In good form this campaign. Has to be included. EIRE MOLLY (4) Faded to finish 5th last run at this track. Can make a comeback. Will be trying to topple them late. Genuine threat.

Finished sixth two starts ago then regained form last time out when he found one better over 450m in an A3 at this track. The recent effort suggests he is ready to win.

Races well at this course and distance. Last start finished last in a OR on July 27 over 590m at Star Pelaw behind No Brakes beaten 16 lengths (37.69). Expect improvement on the latest effort. Great chance to atone.

Quickly away last start and finished third over 450m at this track. Thereabouts of late and rates highly this line-up. Expected to be in the finish.

Form slipped last start when she finished 5th in an A3 on July 25 over 450m at this track behind Salthill Kane beaten 6 lengths (28.06). Can't recommend in this field.

Races well at this course and distance. Last start finished last in an A3 on July 25 over 450m at this track behind Salthill Kane beaten 7 lengths (28.21). Mixing her form but shapes as a genuine chance under these conditions.
