Oxford Race 4

450Mtrs (A2)

Prize Money: $668

MELBURY ECLIPSE (1) jumped from this trap and placed in an A2 at this track over 450m latest (27.95). Has a consistent record off this same box, including a win and four minors. Well worth another try. DEBOSSMAN (3) has been in super consistent form, last time breaking from this same trap when second in a S2 at this track (40.66) and making it three straight placings. Bold showing expected again. WORK THE HEAD (2) has been in super consistent form, finishing in the minors at his last seven runs. Last time finished 3rd in an A2 on May 7 over 450m at this track behind Cunnigar Abu beaten 4.5 lengths (27.39). Ready to find winning form. DALEROAD STORY (4) hit the frame with a third two runs back then claimed an A3 by 1.75 lengths at this track over 450m (27.54) last time. Rises a grade but expected to measure up.

Racing well of late. In the money two starts back at this track then finished third at his latest appearance in an A2 at this track over 450m (27.39). Sure to play a big role.

Followed a minor placing at this track two runs ago with a sound second, beaten a head, last start in a S2 at this track over 650m (40.66). Consistent performer who is a great chance to score.

Charged out of the boxes with a scorching early sectional recording 27.54 in a 1.75 lengths win at this track last time. Looks a solid hope.

Comments

Moderate effort last start when she finished 4th in a D1 on May 10 over 253m at this track behind Salthill Albie beaten 2.25 lengths (15.38). Needs to find a bit more to test these.
