Oxford Race 12

450Mtrs (A2)

Stake: $717

WHISPER DOLLY (2) has a strong winning strike-rate over this track and trip with two wins and a placing from four tries. Below best last time at this track (27.70) in a OR, finishing a 2.75 lengths fourth. Looks well placed and should feature. MELBURY ECLIPSE (1) turned in a solid run last start over 450m at this track finishing 5th and beaten only 2.75 lengths (27.70). The form from her last run stacks up well. Must be included in calculations. SAVANA YAHOO (5) has been hard to follow lately, running fourth (27.44) last time but prior to that ran very well when placed at this track. Rates a winning chance on best. BEST AOIFE (4) can return to form after missing the top-three at this circuit last time out.

In the money two back then disappointed when she finished 4th over 450m at this track beaten 2.75 lengths (27.70) behind Cockney Charlie in a OR on August 23. Thereabouts of late and rates highly this line-up. Expected to be in the finish.

Charged out of the boxes with a scorching early sectional recording 27.37 in a half a length win at this track last time. This tougher and will need to improve further.
