About

Cheeky Dancer, a 5yo bay mare from Australia, is trained by Ciaron Maher. She is by Menari out of Cheeky As. To date she has secured two victories, the most notable being the $42,000 Benchmark 68 Handicap at Wyong on 24 July 2025. Punters have found her to be a profitable runner; backing her throughout her career would yield a 113% return on investment.
