Oxford Race 3

450Mtrs (A2)

Stake: $725

MELBURY ECLIPSE (1) finished fifth last time but just a few runs back broke the clock when winning over 450m at this track, taking an A2 in an outstanding 27.08. Has the ability and looks hard to top. GLADYS ALL OVER (5) ran good time (27.22) when placing two back at this track but missed the frame latest in an A2 at this track. Can hit the frame this time. DRISH SOLAR (6) broke a string of placings finishing in the money three on end before a last start fifth (29.49) at Swindon. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. ANNADOWN PADDY (4) was in the money last start here at this trip - likely to feature again.

Comments

Started big odds last time but hit the ground running with a sensational early split, giving a sight but fading out of it to finish fifth (27.70) at this track over 450m. Looking to others this time.

Charged out of the boxes with a hot early sectional but gathered in and finished third (27.39) at this track over 450m. More than capable and has to be included.

Hit the ground running with a sizzling early sectional but gathered in late to finish a 5.5 lengths fourth (27.37) at this track. Consistent performer from this draw. Top chance on best form.
