Matt Cross's Tips for Alabar Methven Cup Day

In case you missed it - we have $10,000 first 4's on all 12 races on Sunday! In order to help you get some that $120,000 we caught up with Matt Cross to get his advice on which runners should be included in your First 4 tickets. With 12 races carded it was a long video so we've split it into two parts.
