Oxford Race Fields - 13th Jan 2025

FOOTFIELD BETSY (trap 3) is turned around fairly quickly after her latest appearance and she may prove the missing piece to this jigsaw. Savana Sparky (trap 1) is the sort that's up for a challenge and should go well. Valkyrie Warrior (trap 2) is a runner but she can't afford any mistakes at the getaway.

The chances of SHAKE YA BUTT (trap 5) are well above average and she certainly ticks more boxes than the opposition. On that basis, she is hard to oppose. Swift Malachi (trap 6) is collecting plenty of appearance money and should go close. The bookies are often cautious when it comes to pricing up Purmac Timmy (trap 4).

The chance of SAVANA PRETTY (trap 2) shouldn't be underestimated and, with a trouble-free passage looking likely, she gets the nod to hit the tape first. The quick turnaround should help Free Derry (trap 6), who can keep the selection honest. The grader's been kind to Savana Shady (trap 4) so expect a better effort.

AURORA SKY (trap 5) is fancied to be the first of this field to greet the judge and she can be backed with a degree of confidence to outshine this bunch. If the drop in class works for Swift Tamanna (trap 6), she would be a significant threat. Punter-power has been squashing the odds on Savana Moana (trap 2) and she is a runner.

SPOT ON LIZZIE (trap 3) can serve it up to these early and, if making the opening turn in the van, she could slip the pack and not be for catching. Skylars Dream (trap 6) regularly attracts a large share of the market and it's with good reason. Annadown Paddy (trap 4) often carries support of a fair few punters and looks the pick of the rest.

LEAHS ELLA (trap 4) is the most likely winner of this and the odds on offer are likely to reflect that. With a run, she should simply be too good. Supporters will be hopeful Triangle Lexi (trap 5) is over the exertions of his last race and that he can make a fist of it. Savana Albert (trap 2) is no regular here yet but he has place claims.

BOYNESIDE BAILEY (trap 2) could be well in against these opponents and, as such, is not likely to be very attractively priced but should oblige nonetheless. Burrow Amazing (trap 5) has a strong allegiance of fans and they'll be hopeful of a solid effort. Magical Gus (trap 4) has a decent sized fan club and they may be back for more.

SAVANA IMOGEN (trap 4) has a clear-cut chance of knocking these rivals into a cocked hat, but that won't be lost on the bookies who will offer skinny odds. Acquiesce (trap 5) would be dangerous if getting a sizeable piece of the good fortune cookie. Selker Bay Emily (trap 1) could be sniffing out a medal when it matters.

This could well be plain-sailing for HITTHELIDS MARCO (trap 2) as he should just need to tread carefully early to head the formation on greeting the judge. So Its Strife (trap 3) would keep the selection busy if staking a claim sooner rather than later. There's often a fair amount of cash flying around for Spot On Oisin (trap 1) such is his ability.

The odds on reward for STRICTLY BEN (trap 4) could appear on the mean side, but it is probably with good reason as she looks to hold a great chance. Jumpstart Jen (trap 2) will surely be more at home in this class and can be involved at the business end of things. Foxrock Tony (trap 1) is turned around fairly quickly after his latest race and is a runner.

ARDAGIO (trap 5) ticks a good few boxes against this level of opposition and he can establish his superiority over these before swinging for home. The market may prove the best guide to the chances of Savana Blackie (trap 2), but she looks dangerous. The recent win of Savana Nipper (trap 3) is locked in the old grey matter.

BERETTA CHLOE (trap 6) will be putting all of her eggs in the one basket from the start of play and can keep these at bay as the race comes to the boil. Falls Of Dochart (trap 4) will be a big danger if getting the nominal good fortune required. The demand for Blackrose Nala (trap 1) can be unrelenting and she certainly has a chance.

For those considering the solitary bet at the meeting, CHADWELL PEST (trap 6) is the one to be on. Providing she doesn't mess things up, this could be a cake walk. Daleroad Max (trap 5) has an eye on the prize and he could have a chance at the top loot. Capt Ranks (trap 4) has been sent off skinny-enough prices lately and can make the frame.

The fan club of TOMS DOG (trap 3) could be poised to unload the cash as he does look to have plenty of chance of saluting in this affair. Savana Tehya (trap 5) would be dangerous if avoiding being caught up in early bother. Ballyblack Bess (trap 1) can make the frame if able to set the early fractions.
