Locke Beaming as Isla sees off big guns in Sandy Lane Sprint

BEAMING ISLA chose the perfect occasion to open her account in the event when making all to land the £3,000 final of theultimatetipster.com Sandy Lane Sprint over 253m at Oxford.

Trained by Maxine Locke for the JR Racing Syndicate, Beaming Isla was sent off 8/1 in a market dominated by Jazzy George (5/4F) and Avarua Lake (11/8) but once again pinged the lids to steal an early march.

The 'big two' both paced up well but Beaming Isla was not for catching this time and kept on well to beat Avarua Lake by half a length in 15.04sec (-15) with Jazzy George just a neck back in third.

Trainer Kevin Hutton was out of luck with Jazzy George in the feature but had earlier landed supporting BetGoodwin-sponsored 450m all-aged and puppy finals with Ollie The Ox (27.24sec, -20) and Signet Bucko (27.09sec) respectively.
