OXFORD BLUE (5) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing second last time when he was in the firing line all the way over 1m2 3/4f at Oakbank. Finds a perfect assignment and can find winning form. TEST THE LAW (2) was responsible for a solid effort last time out when second at Penola over 1m, beaten one length. That run should have him rock-hard fit now. Will find this much tougher but a bold showing is expected. EL JAMES (8) finished 12 lengths from the winner in sixth last time out at this track over 1m3 1/2f. Has a fine winning strike-rate over this journey with three wins from three starts. Should be competitive. SIR KINGSFORD (1) showed early speed from a good draw last time and led until they straightened, eventually finishing fourth and beaten 4 lengths over 1m2 3/4f at Oakbank. Has a strong record here, including three wins. Too good to ignore.
