The Meadows Race 3

City View Bistro (0-2 Wins)

Prize Money: $1,990

JUST IN CASEY (4) turned spotting a big start finishing fourth (34.96) last time in a Restricted WIN at Sandown. Has winning claims on her best figures. ARCHER SWEET (1) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fourth (31.66) in a Restricted WIN at Ballarat. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings two times from three attempts. Worth following up. MISS SPARKLES (7) turned in a better run last time to find a minor placing (34.91) at Sandown behind Bomb Over in a Restricted WIN. Has the pace to be prominent. Must be included in calculations. GRACE TANGO (2) will be hard to beat with a drop in trip.

Didn't make the placings last time at Ballarat (31.66) in a Restricted WIN, finishing a 7 length fourth. Yet to win but has placed two times from this draw. Looks suited here and rates a leading chance.

Scored at this track two runs back then didn't measure up last time when sixth over 680m at Geelong. Racing well and has to be included.

Missed the frame latest (34.96) when fourth over 595m at Sandown in a Restricted WIN. Starts from box 4 for the first time here. Looks suited and should go close.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage seventh last time out over 600m at this track. Can't recommend against this lot.
