This Friday night Tabcorp Park Melton in Victoria will host the $12 000 St Arnaud Trotters Cup (2760m).
A warm favourite for the event is In Pursuit, coming off a last start victory in the Chris Howe Trotters Cup. Prior to the Group 3 win, In Pursuit has displayed consistently great form placing second in their previous four starts.
Another in-form trotter coming off four successive wins is Lang’s Don King driven by Daryl Douglas.
The Weirs St Arnaud Supa IGA Trotters Cup is scheduled as race five on the bumper nine race programme on Saturday night and is due to commence at 8:40pm.
