Oxford Race Fields - 24th Nov 2023

The overall profile of DROOPYS AMBUSH (trap 5) in against these rivals suggests he will be very popular amongst punters and hence his odds could be skinny. Recent winner Minnies Kharkiv (trap 2) has got the taste for success, but he may have to play second fiddle this time. The price of Madabout Barbs (trap 3) may suggest she is up against it, but she has a chance.

ZENGA (trap 3) appears to be quite well in at the weights against this company and he is taken to come out on top when it matters. Keeperhill Bond (trap 5) knows what's required as his recent victory proves and he will make the selection dig deep. Marston John (trap 6) should be involved at the finish but may only be third best.

This looks a perfect opportunity for KILARA ROBERTO (trap 5), whose name can be on the winner's cheque if things go according to plan from the outset. It may be best keeping Taylors Gord (trap 3) on side following his recent victory. Eleveneleven (trap 1) recently banked the winner's cheque and is respected on that effort.

This looks a fair opening for a few of these, but the trust is placed in DROOPYS TWEETY (trap 6), who is taken to exploit a fair opportunity to the full. Coppice Josie (trap 2) picked up the winner's purse recently and will give it a right good go. Away Jazz (trap 1) knows where the winning line is and shouldn't be far away at the death.

With the bookmakers not being renowned for giving cash away, COPPICE TENZIN (trap 5) will be offered up at skinny odds as he looks to hold all the aces. Sir Oreo (trap 3) looks destined to have an influence on the outcome and could chase the pick home. It's easy being encouraged by the recent win of Ballyard Shawny (trap 2) and he enters the fray.

ELA MAESTRO (trap 3) is certainly one of the leading hopes in this contest and he will hopefully get the job done by kicking in the turbo mid-race. Droopys Riddle (trap 1) has to be feared and could capitalise if the selection messes things up. Alright Patricia (trap 5) is not out of it but probably needs a few of the more fancied runners to err.

BEATTIES DIVA (trap 5) can get one or two pulses racing in this contest and she can be expected to come out on top providing she gets the start right. Providing Coppice Dylan (trap 4) avoids an initial whack, he is sure to make the selection dig deep. Droopys Moose (trap 1) would have a part to play if Lady Luck is on his side.

ROANNA HAWK (trap 3) looks pretty good in this line-up. With an uninterrupted passage around the early bends, she can be first to break the tape. Recent winner Kilara Show (trap 2) knows the score and should be battling to the bitter end. Gagas Merry (trap 5) has a chance especially if getting away on terms.

Opportunity knocks for ALRIGHT GORDY (trap 6) in this contest and he can have already have built his superiority over these before heads are turned for home. Free Style Sue (trap 5) is returning to form following an absence for seasonal rest and she has to be feared. Maglass Brave (trap 2) recently took the winner's prize and can't be ruled out.

Expectations will be low about any rich pickings surrounding HAVANA LOVER (trap 5), but expectations of a huge run on the track will be high here. A solid performance is expected from Havana Top Note (trap 1), but is he good enough to chin the selection? Droopys Creative (trap 6) shouldn't be leaving empty-handed, but the remainder could well be.

Recent scorer DROOPYS SWAG (trap 3) will be looking to build on that success and she has every chance of doing just that against these today. Glenhead Tiger (trap 5) gets a drop in class and he would be of concern especially if the market spoke positively. Bobs Run (trap 4) is still learning the ropes round here.
