TERANG CO-OP SUPER IGA PACE 1680m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 14)    

MARKLEIGH CAZ (8) is in good form with top-five finishes at her last four starts, most recently recording a third over 2180m at Stawell. Will enjoy a pretty soft run from this draw, with the sprint lane to play a big role. Tackles a similar assignment and she can go right on with the job. RIVER PATROL (7) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 4 metres from the winner in third over 1609m at Cranbourne. Has to contend with a very wide draw. Meets a comparable field and he can take care of this line-up. JOHNNY REDCOAT (5) is the next elect off a last-start win by a nose at Mt Gambier over 1780m. GIRLS VIEW (6) is in the mix following a sixth at her most recent appearance over 2210m at Warragul.
