Oxford Am Race 7

253Mtrs (D2)

Prize Money: $548

BALLYMAC TENSEL (2) flew around 262m at Swindon in 15.54 three back then has been in the money the last two since. Expected to push the clock again here. SHIRT (3) produced an impressive win last time in quickest of the meeting when scoring by 4 lengths (15.52) at this track. This tougher but looks a leading chance again. TROY SMOKIN JOE (4) was popular in betting last start but disappointed when 2 lengths away in fourth (15.78). Was in the money the start prior. Worth another chance. PADDYJOES LOCH (5) was in the money two back in a D1 at this track then jumped from trap five last time and finished third (15.65) at this track.

Finished fourth two starts ago then regained form last time out when she found a couple better over 650m in a S2 at this track. May find this a bit too tough.

Good effort after racing on the speed to score in a D2 by 4 len at this track over 253m (15.52). Looks well placed and can measure up again.

In the money two back then disappointed when he finished 4th in a D2 on February 14 over 253m at this track behind Savana Kayce beaten 2 lengths (15.78). Has ability and worth including.

In the money at this track at his last couple of starts, most recently finishing third over 253m. Won't find this much harder. Definite contender.
