Ballarat Race 4 - Radio Ballarat Vicbred Voucher Maiden Trot
COLTRANE (6) is back from a spell of 12 weeks and looks to be right up to the mark following placings in two recent trials. Was still learning last time in but showed some ability, placing three back at Menangle. Expecting a bright start to the campaign. PIPALICIOUS (9) made it four minor placings from her past five starts when she finished 7 metres away in second last time out at this venue. May need a touch of luck from the back row but looks close to a win. MOONLIGHT BILLY (2) draws well and is making good progress, coming from tougher barriers to place in his last two outings. Missed by a head at Geelong last week and could go one better. SUFFARELL HILL (7) draws wide but is worth including after pacing in her two starts to date.

Solid run when a close third behind Buckle Me Up at Cranbourne over 2080m in a MAIDEN on January 18 at $2.80. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing second behind Kyvalley Judge at Maryborough over 2190m in a 4yo+ MAIDEN on January 28 at $7. In fine form. Draws wide but has some upside.
