OXFORD OUTING (1) resumes from a lay-off of five-and-a-half months after closing off last campaign with three consecutive minor placings. Chris Fackler stays aboard and although yet to win has been in the money on three occasions. Likely to feature. TAMASHI (8) returned from a lay-off three weeks ago when he was in the firing line on the turn before being beaten 4 lengths into fourth over 6f at Fairgrounds. Finds a suitable assignment and can get the job done. TRUE PRODIGY (6) is resuming from a lay-off of 12 weeks and having his first run for the Kelli Martinez yard. Was in the placings when when resuming from a lay-off last campaign at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt) over 5½f. Sound top-three prospects. STATE SCHOOL SMART (2) showed good early speed and raced on the pace when when resuming after a lay-off last start before fading to finish fourth, beaten 4.5 lengths, over 6f at this track (Dirt). Solid top-three prospects.
