The Australian Cup at Flemington on March 8 looks set to be the race that makes or breaks the aspiration of connections of the progressive Sertorius, last seen in winning form when scoring at Caulfield in impressive fashion in November. Although plenty of smart performers, such as the Emirates Melbourne Cup hero, Fiorente, are still engaged in the $1 million contest, trainers, Jamie Edwards and Bruce Elkington, feel their horse deserves a chance to prove himself in the big league. If it turns out to be too much for him, they say nothing will have been lost and he will return to plying his trade in useful handicap company. Fans of racing betting know the seven-year-old has enjoyed a good season so far. After looking in need of the outing on his first start of the campaign when down the field over an inadequate six furlongs at Flemington in September, the son of the great Coolmore sire, Galileo, put up a better effort when a respectable runner-up to Pakal in the listed Cranbourne Cup over 2000m the following month. He failed by just a short-head to get the better of a titanic duel with the Craig Williams-ridden Precedence in the Group 3 Queen Elizabeth handicap at Flemington over 2600m in early-November. However, he justified strong support in the racing live betting in the 2400m Group 2 Deadly Design Zipping Classic at Caulfield a week later, under a fine ride from Ryan Maloney. Winner of the Bendigo Cup last spring, Sertorius is reportedly working well as he builds up to peak fitness for the big event and was noted showing plenty of dash under apprentice jockey, Josh Cartwright, in a solid recent gallop, getting the better of work companion, Severn Road, in eye-catching fashion.
