The Meadows Race 4 - City View Bistro

ESPOIR (5) has a strong record here with four wins and three placings from nine starts. Hit the frame latest (34.35) when third at Sandown in a Grade 4/5. Expected to go close. BRINDLE SURPRISE (8) has a fair record and proved too strong last time to win by 0.7 lengths at Sandown in a handy 34.15 beating Blue Storm. Winner at his latest appearance in the quickest time on the card. Bold showing expected again. CACO MAGIC (4) boasts a strong record this journey with three wins and three minors from seven tries. In the money last time at this track (35.02) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 5 length third. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts. ASCEND GERANIUM (7) is always hard to beat when he races here at this trip.

Showed brilliant pace early and gave a sight when a 2.75 lengths third over 595m Sandown in 34.35. Fought on last time. Right in the mix again.
