Not the strongest field for a group 3 Cup I have ever seen- there is no Lazarus or Lenny in the field and over 2600m compared to the shorter Ararat Cup. I have no idea why Group 3's are run over different distances, especially as there is a points tally for the end of this series and a champion will be crowned.
I thought Victoria was on the up but the way these races are programmed it appears as if there is no change to what was posted regarding this same issue before xmas. Warragul has only half a field. Probably a lesser horse who has won weaker country cups and has not raced against the top horses may win the championship !!!!!


Having said that it looks as if they will be bumper days with big crowds which is a win / win all round. Cant ask for much more than that apart from hoping the races are very competitive.
