Oxford Race 2

450Mtrs (A2)

Prize Money: $658

GRANTSTOWN CROSS (3) was strongly fancied last time and hit the ground running with a sensational early split, giving a sight but fading out of it to finish fourth (27.44) at this track over 450m. Should be very hard to beat this time. SAVANA SPIDERMAN (1) is going well, finishing in the placings twice in a row. Not beaten far last time when a half a length second (27.18) in an A2 at this track. Well placed here and should do much better. SAVANABETGOODWIN (4) is down a grade after missing the frame two back at this track then finished third at his latest appearance in an A1 at this track over 450m (27.43). This easier and can improve further. TROY SMOKIN JOE (2) jumped best and was never headed last time. Right in the mix again.

Placed last two, the latest showing sizzling pace early but gathered in and finishing second at this track in 27.18. Rates highly and looks tough to beat.

Good performance after taking an early lead to score in an A4 by 3 len at Newcastle over 480m (29.19). Other runners look much more appealing.

In the money two back then well backed last start but he finished 4th over 450m at this track beaten 3 lengths (27.44) behind Wonka in an A2 on August 12. Was in the money two on end before missing the frame last time. Worth another try.

Turned in a better effort over 450m at this track last start, finishing third behind Gladys All Over in an A1. Worked home well on that occasion and should be closing well again. Has ability and worth including.

Flew early with a sizzling split and led until late but gathered in and finished second at this track over 450m in 27.93. Has ability and among the chances.
