AUSTRALIAN HERITAGE CUP
Results
LITZDEEL (9) looks nicely placed going to 2800m fourth up having been beaten a head over this route in the VRC St Leger as a 3yo last time in before winning the G3 SA Fillies Classic. She's been close up in all three runs this campaign, good behind the progressive Gilded Water two back and just missing out to 2400m at Caulfield. She's a dour, staying mare who will relish this trip while also dropping to 53kg. GOLDEN CENTURY (10) is flying, winning a couple in a row in NSW before a good effort when third, just behind Litzdeel last time out, who he now meets 2kg better off at the weights. He closed strongly there suggesting this trip would be suitable. CLEVELAND (1) comes back in grade having run a much better race in the G2 Moonee Valley Gold Cup last time. His best is better than this grade, hence the big weight. ARUGAMAMA (8) was dominant in Adelaide last time and is up to winning this off that effort. RAGING BULL (11) is firmly in the mix off his Bendigo Cup placing.
