Terang Race 8 - Mahogany Computers Trot
COLTRANE (9) overcame an early break to make a winning return at his latest appearance eight days ago, getting home by 9 metres at Ballarat. Has upside and will strip fitter so with manners he can certainly make it two on the bounce. METRO SWISH NZ (5) has been racing consistently with a string of top-four finishes before she delivered last start by a head after racing parked at Geelong. Capable of getting the job done again. MOREEP (8) last appeared when she won by a head at Melton six months ago. Readied with a trial placing and is lightly raced with upside so could go through her grades this time in. RIDETHELIGHTNING (3) broke from the standing start when resuming but could be an improver behind the mobile.

Hard to fault of late. Last start by a head (Fr3) at Geelong (2:03.00) beating Moonlight Billy in MAIDEN on March 13 at $5 at the bell was 2nd-1.31. Has winning claims again.
