Oxford Race 9

450Mtrs (A2)

Stake: $717

SALTHILL KANE (5) Rocketed home when winning last start at this track in 27.56s. Won last 2 in succession. Shows good finishing speed. Worth a bet. BEST AOIFE (4) Led throughout when winning last run around here in 27.18s. Should be going forward early. In a purple patch of form since coming back from a spell. Respect in this company. JACKIES HERO (1) Nice run when finishing 2nd last run at the track in 27.6s. In strong racing shape this campaign. Has scope so do not ignore. SAVANA RUSTIC (2) Didn't find the line when 4th last start at this track. Is capable of a resurgence. Could work into placings.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to be beaten just 0.8 lengths into second over 450m at this track. Looks to have turned things around so follow her up.

Comments

In the money two back then disappointed when he finished 4th over 450m at this track beaten 3 lengths (27.82) behind Liams Eske in an A2 on July 24. More than capable and well placed to find his best form.

Sent out long odds last time but rocketed out of the boxes with a scorching early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 6 length fourth (27.70) over 450m at this track.
