Terang Race 7

Matthews Petroleum Terang Trotters Cup

Prize Money: $22,000

Quality mare JILLIBY BALLERINI (7) looks a class above these. Comes off a second to Keayang Zahara in the Group 1 Hammerhead Mile in Sydney, the third time she has chased her star stalemate home this campaign. Kicked off the preparation with four straight wins including the Kilmore and Bendigo cups and the drop to this level should see her back in the winners' list. IMPERIAL MONARCH NZ (6) did a good job for fourth to Keayang Zahara in the Grand Prix two back before delivering a strong win by more than 10m in the Geelong Cup last time. Goes back 10m in the handicap off that win but he is two from two at this venue. EL RESAMO (5) switches from mobile start racing but is in good form, coming from a wide barrier for a 1.5m third at Melton two back before winning at that circuit last week. MEADOW VALLEY STAR (4) has been racing consistently in SA and while this stronger he can be competitive from the front mark.

Didn't do much last start, surrendered the lead and finished 5th (Fr4) over 2240m after showing early pace at Melton was 5th-14.17 at the bell, beaten 17 m by Rakero Warrior (2:47.50) in NR 50 to 55 on March 20 at $16. Before that 9th (FT Fr1) over 2570m at Geelong, well beaten by Imperial Monarch (3:16.40) in No NR on March 13 at $51. Hard to have on those efforts.

Ran well last start showing plenty of improvement following February 28 run. Last start posted a big 3.5 m win (FT Fr1) at Mt Gambier (3:21.20) beating Meadow Valley Star in NR 60 or better on March 14 at $34. This race will be harder than that win. This looks too much of a step up.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 3.5 m second behind Stockman Peter at Globe Derby Park over 2230m NR 60 or better last start. Before that was beaten 3.5 metres second at Mt Gambier over 2580m same class on March 14. Up in grade but racing well so may feature from the front mark.

Two back was well beaten into fifth behind Rockinwithattitude at Melton over 1720m in a G3 No NR M on February 28 at $1.08. Then a handy effort when well beaten into second after a quick start, behind Keayang Zahara at Menangle over 1609m in a G1 No NR on March 14 at $14. High quality mare who looks a level above these.
