Rowe could be the answer for Oxford, he is a good rider, not sure he can improve much on his current average but better than most others who rode at 5 last season especially Heeps who is fairly useless.
He was poor quite a bit of the season not just one meeting. The track only became wet at the end of the meeting. I am sure he was trying as much as Thomsen but it just didnt look like it.
Yes I did think with his improved form towards end of season we should retain him but then the Redcar meeting happened and not too sure but on his current average probably worth a punt.
Yes he rode well in those, dont know what happened against Redcar, I know he has a soft spot for Redcar but really poor from him that night and quite a few other nights.
