AUSTRALIAN HERITAGE CUP
Results
WHISKY ON THE HILL (7) won two in a row prior to last start when heavily backed to win the G3 Bendigo Cup which ultimately didn't come off, finishing 10th. Better placed here and that market support was telling. HIT THE ROAD JACK (1) tackled the G3 Geelong Cup last time and faded having been racing in fine form prior. His run in The Archer here three back is excellent form for this. NEWFOUNDLAND (10) is on the up with two consecutive wins in Sydney over 2400m. He can measure right up. MR WATERVILLE (4) ran second to The Map in this last year and did enough fresh in a slowly run race.
