The Meadows Race 2 - City View Bistro (0-2 Wins) 250+ Rank)
BOLD ASSAIL (2) was below best last time finishing fifth at Sandown, but prior to that had been racing well including a Restricted WIN win two back at Sandown. Will find this more suitable and can atone. MISS SPARKLES (8) settled back from out wide but wound up hard into the minor money, finishing 3.5 lengths from the winner (30.50) at this track in Grade 6. Expecting another good run. WAVE IN SEA (1) gets a chance to turn around his from the inside. Last time finished 4th in a Maiden on April 8 over 525m at this track behind Ripper Rae beaten 11 lengths (30.84). Shapes as one to consider. BLACK CHAKRA (6) warrants respect although new to this track.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Sandown over 595m. Last start finished 5th in a Restricted WIN on March 30 over 595m at Sandown behind Tiger Rocks beaten 8 lengths (35.22). Solid formlines coming through that last run. Looks a major player.

Ran a better race when third behind Maxi Grin at this track last start over 525m (30.50). Made up good ground from the back and will be strong late again. Has to be included.
