Oxford Race 9

450Mtrs (A4)

Stake: $717

SWIFT DELICIOUS (3) finished second two starts back before missing the placings at her latest appearance in an A3 at this track over 450m (27.90). Should enjoy this company and gets chance to find form. SAVANA LAVA (2) was a course and distance placegetter (27.71) last time also from the same draw, finishing a 3.5 lengths third in an A4. Has the ability and can measure up. PULLINAMIXER (6) stalked the lead from trap 5 and boxed on well to finish 4.5 lengths back in second (27.57) at this track in an A4 over 450m. Expected to feature. CRUCIAL GUNNER (5) has been in the placings at his last two runs, most recently when third (27.59) in an A4 over 450m at this track.
