Really only the Cox, Moonee Valley Cup & Geelong Cup of any significance to run. And the Cox Plate hasn't been a great indicator for the Melbourne Cup lately.

Barriers & conditions...jockeys...they'll all play their part. But what I've looked for, I've liked from those 3 in particular.

Although that Geelong Cup yesterday was a very moderate field.
I thought the 4th horse in the Caulfield Cup, Presage Nocturne, ran what I’d call a good old fashioned Melbourne Cup trial. I’ll certainly have a few dollars on him.

Good horse.

Only 1 start in this prep though. Of the past 5 years, only 3 horses placed in the Cup on the back of 1 prep run. No winners. And that Japanese horse last year was a cracker.

9 horses have placed in the last 5 years off the back of 3-4 runs. Averages say you need the metres in the legs.

That was a mighty fine run tonight by

Hit the line well and on a big track might give it a shake 👍
