Oxford Race Fields - 27th Apr 2024

There are few more popular in the betting ring than SAVANA SHANEO (trap 1) and that should prove the case once more as this is a gilt-edged chance. There's been plenty of encouragement from Bartlemy Lauren (trap 3) in qualifying and she shouldn't be far away. There shouldn't be a reason to doubt the fitness levels of Bellybuster (trap 4) and she is a runner.

Even though ROOFTOP AMY (trap 1) is still adjusting to the track contours, there's every reason to expect a big run in this. Savana Kamali (trap 4) has an obvious chance of making the numbers and could keep the selection busy. Chadwell Pest (trap 6) will attempt to emerge from the pack on the run-up.

This is a case of much rather being a player than a layer of SMURFS QUEEN (trap 4) as she has found a decent-enough opening to go strutting her stuff. Swift Tamanna (trap 6) did the business recently and could do so again if the selection messes things up. Trial watchers have been impressed by Savana Romany (trap 1) in qualifying and she isn't out of it.

The price of DROOPYS HANOVER (trap 1) is expected to be an accurate reflection of his chances and there shouldn't be too many obstacles in his way. The recent success of Eze (trap 5) is fresh in the memory and this isn't much tougher. Coppice Trophy (trap 3) won't be far away if putting his best paw forward.

SAVANA TOP CAT (trap 1) may have slipped under the radar. As such, the odds on reward won't be pocket bulging, but he should comfortably stamp his authority. Coppice Warrior (trap 4) should definitely get competitive and could run the selection a little too close for comfort. The latest win of Baran Maggie (trap 3) was better than it looks on paper so she is respected.

Cramped odds are likely to be on offer about UNION REBEL (trap 4) with good reason. On known form, he will take plenty of beating. Union Blizzard (trap 1) would be a serious threat if she avoids being snagged up early doors. Dreamin Magpie (trap 5) is expected to be chalked up at tasty odds and could out-run his SP.

ALRIGHT GORDY (trap 6) made it to the top of the shortlist and plenty can be expected. Indeed, if enjoying the run of things, he can oblige. Move Over Ogie (trap 5) would be a big threat if getting a clear shot at them. Droopys Debonair (trap 1) is collecting medals for fun and won't be far away at the death.

The claims of LIMERICK GIRL (trap 6) showing these rivals the way home look crystal clear and, as such, her odds are likely to be a trifle skinny. Hay Bale (trap 2) is nearing top form after season so further improvement is on the cards. Marston John (trap 5) could sneak into the frame and boost the tricast payouts.

It's hard to look beyond COPPICE FRANK (trap 5) as he is in a great frame of mind just now and is taken to have matters under control when it matters. Coppice Lottie (trap 3) would be letting the side down if not being there or thereabouts at the death. Oi Oi Joey (trap 2) could get skippy from the get-go and would then rate a player.

The gravy train could well stop with KANTURK RANGE (trap 2) in this contest as he certainly looks on the right track to give these rivals the runaround. The cash is often down on Bit View Philly (trap 5) and he has a solid chance of repaying the support. Laid Back Joe (trap 4) needs to make the most of the drop in status.
