Oxford Am Race 7 - 253Mtrs (D1)

TIP TOP BERTIE (6) three runs back produced a convincing 15.07 win over 253m at this track then has found the minor money in two runs since. Rates a top chance if runs up to time three back. BALLYBLACK BEST (3) could manage only second at this track last time but impressed when clocking a powerful 15.09 over 253m at this track the start prior. Should be in this for a long way. HIGHFIELD LASS (4) struggled for best form latest, finishing 5th (13.96) in a OR at Romford. Has a strong winning record here at this journey including two wins. Has a very good strike-rate from this draw, with two wins from three starts. Should be about the money. COOLAVANNY STEVE (5) did the right thing for favourite backers last time - sure to feature again.

Winner two starts back at this track when scoring by 3 lengths in 15.13. Last start finished 5th in a OR on July 25 over 225m at Romford behind Daring Hoffa beaten 7 lengths (13.96). Better than that and worth following up.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by a neck over 450m at this track in a handy 27.26, beating Shes One Eighty. Goes very well from this trap including eight wins. Leading player.
