Oxford Race Fields - 21st Nov 2023

POOKIES JULIUS (trap 3) seemingly has a great chance against these rivals and should only need a clear passage to knock them into next week. Zoros Mask (trap 5) was involved in the final stage of deliberation and he is very much feared. There's often a fair amount of cash flying around for Tenfortynine (trap 4) such is her ability.

SAVANA SIOUX (trap 6) is expected to be one of the shorter priced runners of the meeting given the obvious chance she appears to have been given. Garnacanty Ayla (trap 5) should be around at the close of play and may even put it up to the selection. Springwell Polly (trap 1) recently took the winner's prize and can't be ruled out.

WESSEX TRIPTYCH (trap 5) is one of the stronger fancies of the day and he will hopefully avoid early aggro before showing his superiority over these rivals. Young Sheldon (trap 6) has been using up plenty of bookie's chalk and is likely to be in demand again. Wessex Clare (trap 3) may go unnoticed in the ring, but things could be different on the track.

CHADWELL SONIC (trap 5) should be much more at home in this class and can be heading up the formation when it comes to the crunch. The recent win of Savana Gilbert (trap 4) may breed further success if he enjoys a hassle-free run. Puttfor Ruby (trap 1) has a chance but may ultimately come up a trifle short.

CHADWELL EDEL (trap 2) could be top of the class today now that the grader relents and a clear run could be all that's required. Cactus Gamey (trap 1) has a decent sized fan club and the cash may come her way again. Carneys Peaches (trap 5) is nearing top form after season so shouldn't be dismissed lightly.

SLIPPY AURELIA (trap 1) goes up fast and is fancied to turn the screw from the front against these and remain in pole position throughout. Recent winner Mind The Mud (trap 2) has got the taste for success, but she may have to play second fiddle this time. Savana Cooper (trap 6) should be around at the business end and can make the frame.

The drop in class can only aid the cause of SAVANA DOTTY (trap 2) and hopes on a race-winning performance against these are fairly high. Dramas Legacy (trap 3) hasn't had much experience here so she has plenty of scope. Wee Mouse (trap 1) is a player of sorts, while the rest look up against it.

It's incredibly difficult not to be drawn to the chances of FAIREST SONG (trap 3) here as she is easily the pick on overall form and should spreadeagle this field. Beretta Chloe (trap 6) is flushed with pride after her recent win and she won't lie down easily. The early-paced Ballintemple Dan (trap 1) has a chance of sorts, while the rest may struggle.

BALLINABOLA MOL (trap 5) recently struck a winning chord and could bring the sound of sweet music to her supporter's ears again today. Savana Dakota (trap 3) is often the focus of market activity and she will make the selection graft hard. It's all about early zip with Ever So Tricky (trap 4), but she needs to build a good advantage.

GYPSY GOLD (trap 3) is fancied to bag the top loot here and he should only need the semblance of a clear run to put these rivals in the shade. The pace of High Stepper (trap 4) is often immediate, so he has to rate a real threat. Will early bird Ballyblack Bella (trap 1) catch the worm? It's fair to say she has a chance to.
