Terang Race 4 - Matt Clarke Gardening Maiden Pace
KEAYANG ALABAMA (1) drew a wide gate last start and was safely held, beaten 9 metres into seventh at Ararat over 2195m. Starts from a far better position this time and is good enough to win a race of this calibre. MCBART (8) faces the starter for the first time. By Mcwicked and hails from the Gary Barton stable. Can travel in a nice spot from this draw and wait on the sprint lane if necessary. Has strong trial form coming into this. Likely to prove tough to beat. STORMS (4) is a colt by The Storm Inside on debut. Finished fourth in a trial here. Keep safe. REBEL BY THE SEA (2) draws well and was readied with a trial win so include.

Recent efforts have been modest. Backing up quickly after was well back in the run when 7th (Fr6) over 2195m at Ararat was 9th-18.1 at the bell, beaten 9 m by Keayang Passion (2:46.10) in MAIDEN on February 27 at $6.50. The run before 5th (Fr2) over 2160m after showing early speed at Hamilton, beaten 35 m by Decode (2:35.30) in MAIDEN on February 23 at $1.50. Capable of bouncing back.

Last start 7th (Fr1) over 1780m after showing early pace at Mt Gambier, beaten 40 m by Another Woods (2:13.10) in MAIDEN on February 17 at $17. Two runs back 9th (Fr1) over 1780m after showing early pace at Mt Gambier beaten 85 m by Jacosas Dream (2:15.20) in MAIDEN on January 20 at $5.50. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.
