One of Victoria’s favourite pacers, Menin Gate, is back in work and being set for a crack at a second straight Vicbred Super Series title.

Trainer Larry Eastman confirmed his star four-year-old had been in work for “about a week” and he is pleased with where he’s at.

“He looks great. If everything goes to plan we’ll get him ready for the Vicbred and possibly a trip to Queensland.”
