TSR Weekly Wrap | 8 Oct 2025
Our last-start Eureka winner, Bay Of Biscay, takes on the all-conquering Leap Of Fame for the first time in the Smoken Up Sprint at Melton on Saturday night (October 11).
It’s a prelude to the $250,000 Victoria Cup a week later.
This headlines a big program which also features the Victoria Derby and Victoria Oaks heats.
Here’s our line-up for these 3yo classics:
VICTORIA DERBY
Heat 1: Go Miki, Fox Dan
Heat 2: Captain Perfect, Storms Collide
Heat 3: Cigano, Silver Pistol, Viney
VICTORIA OAKS
Heat 1: Beach Diamond
Heat 2: Let Her Roll
We also have Petracca returning after more than a year away from the races, so I'm looking forward to that.
SIR JIMMY locked in a spot in the $60,000 SA Pacing Cup on October 25 with victory at Globe Derby Park on Saturday night (October 3).
