About the Australian Cup
The Australian Cup is one of the cornerstones of the Victorian greyhound calendar, staged at The Meadows as a Group 1 sprint each late summer. It draws elite company from across the country to Melbourne's famous 525-metre trip and has long been a form guide to the autumn features in Sydney and Brisbane.
How to punt the Australian Cup
The Meadows' 525m trip is one of the fairest tests in Australian racing — genuine class prevails more often than at tighter tracks. Cross-reference Victorian form with recent Wentworth Park and The Q (formerly Albion Park) performances; the Cup often attracts northern raiders whose times stack up well against local benchmarks.
