Oxford Race 4

253Mtrs (D3)

Stake: $704

SELKER BAY PATCH (2) is rarely far away but tends to find one better, placing eight from 14 starts. Filled a minor placings again last time when third (28.72) at this track making it four placings in a row. Deserves serious consideration. MELBURY METEOR (1) has hit the frame in all of his three runs, the latest finishing second (15.64) at this track. Should be in this for a long way. SAVANA NIPPER (4) turned in a better effort at this track last start, finishing second behind Smokes (15.71) in a D3. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings four times from seven starts. Good form should continue. SAVANA EROS (6) with some luck can improve on an unplaced run last time here.

Followed a minor placing at this track two runs ago with a sound second, beaten a neck, last start in a D4 at this track over 253m (15.64). Not to be underestimated.

In the money two back then disappointed when he finished 5th in a D3 on April 4 over 253m at this track behind Smokes beaten 7 lengths (16.12). Has been racing well. Well placed here and looks a leading contender.
