Zeus Thunderbolt was Greenough's first qualifier, stopping the clock at 23.64 in win 8 from 13 starts.

"This dog is going to get better with age because he is only a pup," Nathan Rooney told Sky Racing audiences.

Healesville Cup winner, Mile A Minute claimed Sportsbet Bendigo Cup heat 6, with a brave performance. He pushed through traffic and worked the outside of the track to secure another country cup rug.

Unleash In Miami rounded out Greenough's runners for the night with an all the way win from box 1.

"This is one of the better Country Cups you will see," Jason Adams said on Sky Racing.

At first glance of the box draw, Rooney believes that Aston Fantastic is the winner from the draw after coming up with box 5 with Hotel Whisky One likely to run cover.

Aston Fantastic was the fastest qualifier, stopping the clock in a slick 23.52, giving David Geall his second contender in this year's Sportsbet Bendigo Cup.
