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.

Showed strong pace early but found one better when a neck second over 515m Sandown in 29.31. Rates highly and looks tough to beat.
