OVERVIEW: The former New Zealand pacer VINTAGE CHEDDAR (2) is extremely tough and has been racing against the Cups class across the Tasman. He finished ninth in the New Zealand Cup and seventh in the NZ Free for All at Grand Circuit level in November and he easily won a trial at Melton on Tuesday so he is clearly the horse to beat. SILENT MAJOR (4) joins trainer Matthew Craven after his latest twelfth in the Bendigo Cup. He ran a brave second in the Super Series Final at the end of last season and he has performed well at the trials recently so he must be respected. MASTER MOONLITE (1) finished fourth behind KEAYANG JACKIE (3) and SILENT MAJOR (4) at a Terang trial effort on Monday night but he is drawn to trail the leader so he should receive every chance. VAN MARA (8) was out very wide on the home turn and picked up some ground when a handy fifth in the Ararat Cup. He should be reaching his peak form after having two starts back from a break so he is worth thought. KEAYANG JACKIE (3) hasn’t raced since December 2020 and meets a top field first up but she has won ten of her twenty-one starts to date and defeated a handy field in her Terang trial victory on Monday night.

OVERVIEW: The former New Zealand pacer VINTAGE CHEDDAR (2) is extremely tough and has been racing against the Cups class across the Tasman. He finished ninth in the New Zealand Cup and seventh in the NZ Free for All at Grand Circuit level in November and he easily won a trial at Melton on Tuesday so he is clearly the horse to beat. SILENT MAJOR (4) joins trainer Matthew Craven after his latest twelfth in the Bendigo Cup. He ran a brave second in the Super Series Final at the end of last season and he has performed well at the trials recently so he must be respected. MASTER MOONLITE (1) finished fourth behind KEAYANG JACKIE (3) and SILENT MAJOR (4) at a Terang trial effort on Monday night but he is drawn to trail the leader so he should receive every chance. VAN MARA (8) was out very wide on the home turn and picked up some ground when a handy fifth in the Ararat Cup. He should be reaching his peak form after having two starts back from a break so he is worth thought. KEAYANG JACKIE (3) hasn’t raced since December 2020 and meets a top field first up but she has won ten of her twenty-one starts to date and defeated a handy field in her Terang trial victory on Monday night.

OVERVIEW: The former New Zealand pacer VINTAGE CHEDDAR (2) is extremely tough and has been racing against the Cups class across the Tasman. He finished ninth in the New Zealand Cup and seventh in the NZ Free for All at Grand Circuit level in November and he easily won a trial at Melton on Tuesday so he is clearly the horse to beat. SILENT MAJOR (4) joins trainer Matthew Craven after his latest twelfth in the Bendigo Cup. He ran a brave second in the Super Series Final at the end of last season and he has performed well at the trials recently so he must be respected. MASTER MOONLITE (1) finished fourth behind KEAYANG JACKIE (3) and SILENT MAJOR (4) at a Terang trial effort on Monday night but he is drawn to trail the leader so he should receive every chance. VAN MARA (8) was out very wide on the home turn and picked up some ground when a handy fifth in the Ararat Cup. He should be reaching his peak form after having two starts back from a break so he is worth thought. KEAYANG JACKIE (3) hasn’t raced since December 2020 and meets a top field first up but she has won ten of her twenty-one starts to date and defeated a handy field in her Terang trial victory on Monday night.
