Oxford Race 4

450Mtrs (Or)

Stake: $1,211

START THE ENGINE (3) was strongly fancied but finished second last time (26.77) at this track, bringing a two-run winning streak to an end. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Expected to feature in the finish again. RIOJA MAXI (1) has recorded back to back wins, the latest pinging the lids with a sensational early split and setting up a 2.75 lengths win at this track over 450m in 26.71. Winner at her latest appearance in the quickest time on the card. Form should stack up. DREAMIN REGGIE (5) is a capable type and proved too strong last time to win by half a length at this track in a handy 26.72 beating START THE ENGINE. Winner at his latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. Leading player again. CROSSFIELD NIALL (2) recorded a neck win (26.71) in an A1 last time at this track. Has already won two times from this trap.

Flew the lids with a sizzling early split but gathered in late when a narrow fourth (27.18) over 450m at this track. Cannot enthuse on this occasion.

Sent out long odds last time but charged out of the boxes with a sizzling sectional and clocked 26.72 in a half a length win at this track. Can make it back to back wins.
