Oxford Race 4

450Mtrs (A2)

Stake: $717

DUNDEE DREW (3) racing well without winning, placing at his last four runs. Last start finished 2nd over 450m at this track beaten a neck (27.50) behind Carlow Town in an A2 on August 22. Solid formlines coming through his last run. Likely to feature again. BETWEENTHESTICKS (1) is in top form with back to back wins. Claimed an A6 two back then scored by 1.3 lengths in an A4 last time at this track over 450m (27.23). Up in grade but in winning form and must be a big chance again. MELBURY ROCKET (2) is heading the right way. Out of the placings two back then scored by 3 lengths last start at this track over 450m (27.38). Faces stiffer opposition but hard to leave out. LIVELY LULU (4) is by Good News out of Moments Of Magic making debut. Market should provide a lead to her ability.

Comes off a (27.23) win last time, scoring by 1.3 lengths in an A4 over 450m at this track. Strong record at this track and trip with two wins and two placings from five starts. Looks hard to beat with even luck.

Caught the eye last time with a sizzling early split which set up a 3 length win at this track in 27.38. Makes plenty of appeal on that latest effort.

First starter from the K R Hutton yard by Good News out of Moments Of Magic. Market moves likely to signal ability but profiles strongly for this.

Below best last start when she finished last over 253m at this track beaten 5 lengths (15.86) behind Hitthelids Kelly in a D1 on August 22. Can't make much of a case this time.
