The Meadows Race 5 - City View Bistro
CROYDON (3) has a strong record this trip with seven wins and two placings from 14 starts. Missed the frame latest (30.27) when fourth over 525m at this track in a Grade 4. Expected to go close. HIGHLY POTENT (8) broke a string of placings finishing in the money two on end before a last start fifth (29.60) at Sandown. Solid record at the distance winning two races. Some good form is emerging from her last run. Key player if finds best. HE'S MAGIC (7) finished in the minors last start over the 595m at Sandown but ran a strong 34.24 last start. Should be in this for a long way. HE'S A PEARL (1) recorded a neck win (29.69) in a Grade 5 last time at Sandown. Has already won out of this draw.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at Sandown over 515m in 29.69 last start, beating Paw Carver. Winner last time and looks well placed again. Worth following up.

Missed the frame latest (35.33) when fourth over 600m at this track in a Grade 4/5. Still a maiden from this draw but has never missed the frame from two starts. Has ability but looking elsewhere this time.

Poor last start but ran a better race two back when fourth over 525m at this track. Will not find this easy. Not keen.
