Cherana

 

An Alan Payne designed Tasman Seabird with an enviable record of 1st in the 1959 Hobart Race and a second in the Montagu Island race the same year, she was ninth in her last Hobart start, 1962. A capable performer in most conditions, particularly heavy, she is a possibility for a handicap placing.
