Oxford Race 5

450Mtrs (A6)

Prize Money: $565

MADABOUT BARBS (2) flew the lids off the inside draw with a sensational early split last time and gave a sight, finishing a 1.75 lengths third (27.81) over 450m at this track. Top prospect. DALEROAD ADELEKE (4) found some support last start but struggled into fourth (27.87), beaten 2.5 lengths. Finished third the start before. Likely to play a prominent role. SPOT ON CHEEKS (3) filled a minor placing last start at this track behind Hitthelids Bono (27.92) in an A7. Has the early speed to give a sight. Expected to be in this for a long way. COLD KNIGHT (5) has ability and finds the right scenario to bounce back.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to be beaten just 0.8 lengths into second over 450m at this track. Looks all set to find the winners' list.

Comments

Sent out long odds last time but rocketed out of the boxes with a scorching early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 3.5 lengths fifth (27.95) over 450m at this track. Others preferred on this occasion.
