GOING: G

ALEXANDRA HOUSE SPORTS CLUB PACE 2160m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 16)    

KEAYANG HOLLYWOOD (3) will be fitter for his resuming third from a wider barrier at Terang, his first outing since an easy win on debut at Melton last November. Has plenty of upside and looks hard to stop from this draw. RANGER RICK (2) made it back-to-back wins when he came from wider to score when fresh at Ararat two back before he was edged out by a nose in SA last time. His best results have come at this distance range and he draws well. KEAYANG GALLIANO (10) looks a player after coming from a similar draw for third at Terang last time. MIKI STEAMED HOME (5) is worth some thought having recorded a win and a placing in three tries at this circuit and distance.
