Act Now takes a shot at back-to-back $300,000 Victoria Cup victories at Melton on Saturday night.

He is one of three starters we have in the group 1, joining Mach Dan and Perfect Class.

Mach Dan is contesting his fourth Victoria Cup.

On a massive night, we also have strong representations in the G1 $200,000 Victoria Derby, G1 $150,000 Victoria Oaks and G1 Queen Of The Pacific.
