The Meadows Race 4 - Finally Nova - Welcome Stanaway
HE'S A PEARL (1) is a talented dog who is a winner of 13 races and filled a minor placing latest when second at Sandown (29.31). Was a winner at his only start from this draw. Must come into calculations. PAW TORONTO (7) produced an impressive 29.79 to claim a Grade 5 over 525m at this track last start. Rates a leading chance if runs up to latest. GENERAL FRANKY (5) boasts a strong record this journey with seven wins and eight minors from 17 tries. Hit the frame latest (30.65) when third at this track in a Grade 4/5. Looks well placed here and among the chances. CASH IN VIEW (4) flew the lids and led all the way last time. Big chance again.
