Oxford Race 5

450Mtrs (A2)

Stake: $717

RAPIDO SPOOKS (2) Did well when 2nd last start around here. Shows very good closing speed. Place chance. HITTHELIDS PAULO (5) Faded away to finish 4th last run at the track. Expecting improvement. Can finish in the money. IS THIS WISE (3) Picked up late ground when 3rd last time around here in 27.62s and strong performer at this trip in the past. Should muster plenty of early speed. Has to be included. KLASSICAL SARAH (4) Lost ground in the run home when 5th last run here. Has the potential to improve sharply and back over more ground. Could work into placings.

Turned in a much better performance last start when second over 450m at this track in an A2. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Solid chance with even luck.

Handy type with a solid strike-rate. Winner two back then well fancied last time and could manage only third over 450m at this track in 27.62. Going well and can bounce back to winning form.

Disappointed last start over 253m at this track when beaten 4 len (15.57) behind Runaround Pebs on July 25. Has failed to show enough to come into contention.

Charged out of the boxes with a sizzling early sectional but swamped late when a close up fourth (27.77) at this track over 450m. Has a fast 27.16 PB at this course and distance. Hard to beat.

In the money two back then disappointed when she finished 4th on July 19 over 253m at this track behind The Yellow Peril beaten 4 lengths (15.46) in a D2. Has ability and looks a winning hope.
