Oakbank   18 Mar 2026
 
GOING: G(4)

Oakbank Hotel Rating 0 - 56 Handicap 1050m

Track: SOFT 7   Clouds (Max: 23)   Rail: True.  

Hot pace certain with Sha Na Na, Refreshing and Shadowfax keen to take up the running. RICH LADY (5) is knocking on the door and looks to have found her race to finally break through. Draws to get the suck run for Toeroek behind the hot early tempo. Just needs the gap to appear. SHADOWFAX (3) failed to go on with the job last start after racing on speed in town. Drops back in grade and gets help at the weights with the 3kg claimer going on. Is drawn to advantage and is expected to take plenty of catching from the front. ANOTHER BRIDE (7) was no match for Oak Park Maddison last start, who has since come out and won a strong race on the weekend. Prior form stacks up and she should give herself every chance up on pace. Don't take lightly. SUNDOGG (9) has been freshened with 49 days. Will appreciate the anticipated tempo and can burst through late. SUGGESTED PLAY: Rich Lady gets the nod.
