Oxford Race 5

450Mtrs (A2)

Prize Money: $661

SAVANA BRIDGET (2) followed a minor placing two runs ago with a plain effort last time to finish fifth, beaten 5 lengths, in an A1 at this track over 450m (27.42). Top chance this easier line-up. DUNDEE DREW (4) was well in the market last time but only managed fourth (27.72), beaten 5.5 lengths. Finished second the start before. Worth another chance. SCRAHAN CRUISER (5) finished in the money fresh when third (27.78) at this track in an A2. Sure to be fitter. Expecting another good run. BETWEENTHESTICKS (1) was in the money last time at this track (27.53) in an A2, finishing a 3.5 lengths second. Already a winner from this trap.

Flew the lids with a sizzling early split but gathered in late when a narrow fifth (27.42) over 450m at this track. Missed the frame last time but prior to that had five placings in a row. Deserves another chance.

Hit the ground running with a sizzling early sectional but gathered in late to finish a 5.5 lengths fourth (27.72) at this track. Key chance on best form.

Showed blistering pace early and gave a sight but gathered in and finished third over 450m this track in 27.78. Hasn't been far away recently and can feature in the finish.
