Oxford Race 5

450Mtrs (A8)

Stake: $681

SAVANA RIPPLE (2) jumped from a low draw and boxed on well to finish second last time, beaten 1.5 lengths (27.78) behind Savana Kilshanig at this track. Nicely placed to grab a well-deserved win. SAVANAWINNIMARIE (1) is down a grade after missing the frame two back at this track then finished third at her latest appearance in an A7 at this track over 450m (27.85). Hard to beat if anywhere near her best. HAVANA SHIRLIE (5) is down a grade after finishing fourth two starts back at this track then was again out of the placings at her latest appearance in an A7 at this track over 450m (28.52). Capable of a lot better this class. SPOT ON CHEEKS (3) is down a grade after finishing sixth two starts back at this track then was again out of the placings at her latest appearance in an A7 at this track over 450m (28.23). Deserves another chance this class.
