Oxford Race 9

450Mtrs (A8)

Prize Money: $492

SAVANA TIR NANOG (3) stalked the lead from trap 4 and boxed on well to finish 4 lengths back in third (28.13) at this track in an A8 over 450m. Good form should continue. DISTANT SURVIVOR (1) showed good speed off a low draw but weakened and run over late when 5th over 650m at this track in S3 company. Cannot be left out. HAVANA PEPSI (2) missed the frame latest but had been racing well prior to that including an A9 win two back (27.92) at this track. Expected to bounce back to best. MOHICAN CARLY (5) is heading the right way. Out of the placings two back then scored by 4 lengths last start at this track over 450m (27.97). Faces stiffer opposition but hard to leave out.

Got back early in the race last start when fifth over 450m at this track. Before that won by 2 lengths at this track (27.92) beating Lively Gezza in an A9 on February 27. Has ability and looks a winning hope.

Good effort to score last start by 4 lengths over 450m at this track in 27.97, beating Mohican Banana. Top-three hope with the right run.
