Terang Race 1 - Terang Co-Op Rural Store Pace

SWEET IDEAL (8) made it two in a row last start when she got the cash by 5 metres over 1680m at this track. Can travel in a nice spot from this draw and wait on the sprint lane if necessary. Big chance based on those recent efforts. JILLIBY NITRO (9) has not raced for four months. Looks forward enough for this return after a minor placing in a recent trial. Sure to be right there at the finish. ROADMASTER (7) disappointed last time when ninth over 1720m at Melton. Can atone. GUNFORHIRE (3) is the next elect off a last-start win by 6 metres at Melton over 2240m.
