The Meadows Race 10 - City View Bistro

NOVA OWEN (2) dropped out early but hit the line hard, charging into third and beaten 2.5 lengths win (30.38) at this track in Grade 5. Well-placed to take this out. PRISON BREAK (1) is progressing well with another good run last time, placing (30.45) from Box 3 at this track. Has a strong record out of this box with three wins and three minor placings from seven starts. Will give a great sight again. PAW TORONTO (4) jumped well and was in the mix early before fading out of it late when 6th over 525m at this track in Grade 5 company. Has a good record here at this journey. Has a strong record out of this box with three wins and a minor placing from five starts. Warrants plenty of respect. SPRING MILES (6) can improve on an unplaced run here last time out.
