Oxford Race 12

450Mtrs (A9)

Prize Money: $587

MOHICAN BANANA (5) is long overdue for a win and in super consistent form, jumping from this trap to place last time at this track (28.36), making it five straight minors. Tough to beat on best. MOHICAN CARLY (4) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fourth (28.62) last time in an A9 at this track. Can measure up this time. FOOTFIELD STITCH (6) is a last start placegetter in an A9, jumping from this trap and finishing a 3 length third over 450m at this track. Boasts a strong record off this same box, including two wins and 13 placings from 21 starts. This tougher but looks a leading chance again. FOOTFIELD BUCKO (2) is in the mix despite finishing out of the placings here last start.

Form has been sound without winning, placing at her last five starts, the latest when third (28.36) over 450m at this track. Capable of improvement on latest effort. Well placed and should feature.
