Oxford Race 11

450Mtrs (A8)

Prize Money: $492

DISTANT SURVIVOR (1) is a capable type and proved too classy last time to win by 8 lengths at this track in a handy 40.78 beating SAVANA SPARKY. One of the key runners again. HAVANA SHIRLIE (4) was safely held last time out, finishing sixth at this track over 650m behind DISTANT SURVIVOR (41.80) in a S3. Was in the money the start prior. Goes well out of this box with a win and seven minor placings. Leading chance. ROLO BUTTONS (3) followed a moderate fifth at this track two runs ago with another plain effort last time to finish sixth, beaten 4.5 lengths, in an A7 at this track over 450m (28.12). Deserves another chance this class. SAVANA SPARKY (2) is a last-start placegetter in a fast-run race - should be thereabouts. Something for the Multiples: SAVANA SHADY (5)

Comments

Charged out of the boxes with a sizzling early sectional but swamped late when a close up sixth (28.12) at this track over 450m. Expect improvement on the latest effort. Great chance to atone.
