Terang Race 4 - Ridley Barastoc Pace
It all went wrong for ROMAN CHARLIE (2) last start when he was severely checked and subsequently pulled up with a flat tyre. Had looked close to a win when runner-up in his previous three starts. Draws well and deserves another chance. KEAYANG ALABAMA (9) is another that copped severe interference last start so did well to clock in fifth. Runner-up in his previous two outings. Major player if things go his way from the back line. ONYX (7) comes right into contention after scoring from a similar barrier last start by 5.7 metres at Ballarat. BLUE MIKI (6) raced wide and finished midfield when resuming at Melton. Fitter so can progress.

Good run 3 metres second behind Illuminate Me at Geelong over 2100m MAIDEN on March 13. Failed to finish behind Always Be Techy on March 23 at Ararat over 1790m MAIDEN. It all went wrong last start but was racing well prior so give him another chance.
