The Meadows Race 7 - City View Bistro
RITZA SOPHIE (6) has a terrific record this trip with two wins and two placings from four starts. Placed last time (34.42) at this track in a Special conditions H, finishing second and beaten 0.7 lengths. Has the ability and looks a key chance here. PAW IOWA (4) three runs back clocked a dynamic 34.00 win over 595m at Sandown then has found the minor money in two runs since. Should be in this for a long way. PAW STELLA (2) was unfavoured last start but gave a huge sight when led for much of the way to place (34.69) at this track in a Special conditions H over 600m. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and three minor placings to her credit. Bold showing expected. SHIMA BLUSH (1) can return to form after missing the top-three at this circuit last time out.

Flew the lids with a sensational early split and led until late but gathered in when a 0.8 lengths second at this track over 600m in 34.69. Looks a strong winning hope.
