Terang Race 2

Wd News - Terang Express Trotters Handicap

Prize Money: $6,000

BOUTIKA (1) looks close to another win after some nice recent efforts, placing three back at Melton and going under by 2.2m after leading and sticking on last time at Charlton. Has strong claims. OLD VILLA BOY (6) will find this easier than the last attempt when held up early at Geelong. There was merit in his fresh effort when fourth here two back.

Failed to impress last start; 5th (30m Fr1) over 2100m at Charlton beaten 22 m by Aristotle (2:44.80) in No NR on September 25 at $9. Showed ability the race before when he raced just off the speed and boxed on; won by 8 m (30m Fr1) at this track (2:56.70) beating Unspoken Love in No NR on September 2 at $3.30 at the bell was 2nd-3.9m on the pegs. In the mix on the win from two back.
