Oxford Race 9

450Mtrs (A7)

Prize Money: $502

SAVANA CATAPILLA (3) is down a grade after finishing fifth two starts back at this track then was again out of the placings at his latest appearance in an A6 at this track over 450m (28.40). Drops a class and gets chance to return to form this time. SPORTING HAVEN (2) followed a moderate fourth at this track two runs ago with another plain effort last time to finish fifth, beaten 6 lengths, in an A6 at this track over 450m (28.23). Will find this more suitable. SAVANA SPARKY (1) has mixed form, but did hit the frame three back and was narrowly beaten next start before a fifth (41.80) at this track in a S2 latest. Expected to bounce back to best. SAVANA BOYCIE (5) cannot be left out after placing last start.

Charged out of the boxes with a sizzling early sectional but swamped late when a close up fourth (28.50) at this track over 450m. Shouldn't trouble the top few hopes.
