FLEMINGTON: MELBOURNE CUP - 5th NOVEMBER 2024
Track: GOOD(4) - Weather: SUNNY - Rail: OUT 2M

Betting Portfolio ($50):
We have warm day forecast for the Melbourne Cup with a sunny 26 degrees predicted, which means the track is going to get very firm indeed by the time The Cup is run. Plenty of irrigation being applied and they will probably win off the rails early in the day, but the rails may come into play as the track dries out. Watch out for horses that need some give in the ground – and this includes international horses in the Melbourne Cup – as they may struggle to find their best today on firm ground. Note that we won’t have the strong winds that we did on Derby Day which allowed horses to run on and win, and those leading and on-speed should get every chance today. Middle to outside best down the straight though there probably won’t be much between the inside and outside.

We had a total train wreck of a Derby Day, a wipe-out in the Betting Portfolio, the Lay Of The Day won impressively, and we talked ourselves out of the Derby winner in the form preview. Slight reprieve with tipping the $3700 quaddie in the Suggested Quaddie, but we desperately need to find some winners today. Melbourne Cup Day is definitely not the day for a serious bet, massive fields as always, so pick out some $20 shots and box up some wide quinellas as there will be some fantastic exotic dividends today to boast about when you get back to work on Wednesday. We have picked out a few long shots in the race selections to try and help Cup Day punters. Definitely don’t want to go too hard early today, very ordinary Greys race into 19 horse 1000M straight race into 20 horse 2800M race is about as tough as you can get.

For Spring Campaign 2024 we will be posting the form guide around Saturday 10am (earlier if time allows). Feature race preview at the bottom of this post.

BEST WIN: Race 2: 2-OPENING ADDRESS
QUINELLA: Race 2: 2-OPENING ADDRESS#3,6,9,12 x $4 = 100 %
This one looks to be a 3YO stayer on the rise and the run in the MV Vase was excellent, they struggled to get past him in the straight and likely still plenty of improvement to come off that run. Have avoided going to the Derby with him and he looks hard to beat here, he can lob on-speed, but there is a fair bit of speed in this race so probably takes a sit just behind the speed. Looks the one to beat at around $3.50, which is too short for finding a winner on Melbourne Cup day so instead let’s try and collect more by anchoring him in a quinella with the 3-STATUARIO who was chopped out near the line last start against a smart winner, the 6-KENMARE BAY from Sydney who looks to have ability, the 9-HOT MAJESTY rolling on-speed at odds and the 12-CECCHETTI who has talent but still does a few things wrong in his races.

BEST EACH WAY: Race 5: 15-AHURIRI $3 EW
Super open 2800M staying race and normally the rule for this race is to look for the ones with the least number of starts and the most staying potential on the way up. This one has been given the three runs in and up in distance each time, and looks ready to do something now, started to loom into the race out wide last start but just looked like he ran out of fitness late and should be ready to win today. Big plus with this one is that he is proven over the track and distance, easily wining the St Ledger here back in April. Well drawn, can settle handy and get a soft run here in a race where the looks to be a fair bit of speed. Nice each way bet at around $16.

BEST EACH WAY: Race 7: 2-BUCKAROO $3 EW
Keen to have something on our top pick for the Melbourne Cup, basically he is the second best form horse of the spring behind the dominant Cox Plate winner and has a touch of class over most of these. The 3200M is the question mark, but don’t think they are going to run along here and if he can get a nice position in the run he has the ability to drop these early in the straight. Would be clear favourite in previous years with this sort of form, not sure if it’s the 3200M or the barrier that is putting punters off, but he is $7 now and that seems great value for an each-way bet for the horse with the best form going into this race. Note we have picked out a $20 Melbourne Cup trifecta in the form preview below.

BEST EACH WAY: Race 8: 8-CHEWING GUM $3 EW, QUINELLA 4,6,8,10 boxed x $3 = 50%
We were pretty keen on this one Saturday, but they scratched her to keep her for this weaker race. Last run at Caulfield was outstanding, she took a while to find some clear running on the rails, but once she did she absolutely flew home to only just miss and clearly should have won. Back out to 1400M today, which she failed at last time she tried, but the winner from that race has since turned out to be pretty darn good winning the Wakeful here on Saturday. Looks to get a cosy run here again and looks a good each way bet at around $10 off a likely fast speed. We also quite like the 4-SUPERCILIOUS at $20 odds here, ran home really well late against the track pattern last start at MV, and although she is drawn wide we are down to 12 runners now so that might not be that big an issue. So keen to back both of these in this race, boxing up a quinella with these, the strong finishing 6-MEDIA WORLD down from Sydney and the improving 10-SUPERNIMA also at odds.

BEST EACH WAY: Race 9: 9-MISS ARIA $4 EW, QUINELLA 9-MISS ARIA#8,10,12,13,18 x $5 = 100%
Mare who is showing a fair bit of ability and seems to be getting better as she matures. Her mum BONARIA was a favourite of ours and she is starting to look like she might be just as good. Extraordinary win from last at MV first-up along the rails, and only just missed last two starts with strong runs from well back in Group 2 races. She is going better than these and may be even better back to a firm track today. Back each way at around $5 and anchor in a quinella with some value runners, the 12-FANCIFY on-speed over Flemington 1400M, the often unlucky but often around the money at odds 10-FORTUNATE KISS, the 13-MOLLYNICKERS with blinkers on first time, the in-form improver 18-ZASZOU (emerg), and the strong finishing longshot the 8-MATERIAL DREAMS. This is our main bet of the day.

BEST ROUGH: Race 3: 13-GREY NORTHERN $1 EW
Just a tiny speculative bet in the All Greys race, where there doesn’t seem to be much form and often many of these don’t run out 1400M and you want to be on something strong at the end of the race. This one likes to drop back and run on, is proven over further and often doesn’t get the track pattern or speed to suit. Just a little dabble at $81 for social media bragging rights.

BEST ROUGH: Race 10: 13-BEL AIR $1 EW, QUINELLA 7,11,13,15 boxed x $3 = 50%
Pretty awful final race of the day and most of these have some chance in a race of little form. This one is really good when right, strong finisher with excellent distance stats and is probably ready to do something now with two runs in and into a race with good speed. Back each way at around $20 and box up a quinella with the talented, but disappointing last start runner the 11-MARBLE ARCH, the in-form and consistent Adelaide visitor the 7-JACK THE LAD at odds and the last start winner the 15-THE SHAPER in a very even race.

LAY OF THE DAY: Race 8: 7-BIG SWINGER at around $3
We have already picked out two we are keen on in this race, they have both been running well in stronger races, yet the favourite is this one rising in class and distance off two strong wins. Plenty of improving horses in winning form in this race, so just seems poor value as favourite in a field with a lot of genuine winning chances.

TURF DELI WONDER BET: Here we try and turn $5 into a “bogan pass” to the members
Race 5: QUINELLA 8,10,15,17,18 boxed x $5 = 50%
There is a stack of value in the 20 horse 2800M staying race and we are up against a short-priced $3 favourite who is a total unknown international having his first start in Australia. Sure he may win, but seems a horrible bet on an unknown in a big field, so stack of value in the quinella if he doesn’t run to market expectations. We already have backed the 15-AHURIRI but also rather keen on the 8-ROARING ENGINE at $34 who will run the distance out and looks to be running into form so let’s see if we can pick up a large quinella around these two. Other chances are the consistent and lightly raced 18-KODIAK BEAR, the strong finishing 17-DILLIAN who might be looking for this distance and the on-speed 10-NEWFOUNDLAND.

SUGGESTED QUADDIE:
Races 7,8,9,10: 2,8,9,13,18 / 4,6,8,10 / 9,10,12 / 3,7,11,13,15 x $20 = 6.6%
The percentage is a bit on the skinny side, but you would think the Melbourne Cup Quaddie probably pays $10,000 or more so happy to run with it. Take a few in the first leg to try and make sure we get through the Cup, and there are plenty of $10-$20 chances in the middle legs before an extremely tricky last leg. Putting in the main chances, but also worth putting on some $20 shots today to mix it up.


Feature Race Preview: RACE 7: MELBOURNE CUP

It has been a roller coast couple of weeks leading into the Melbourne Cup, with horse after horse going through their vet-checks and quite a few key runners being withdrawn as a result. Be wary of those who have needed multiple vet checks, you need to be right at the top of your game to win a Melbourne Cup. Question is how strong is the field we have ended up with here, there is probably only a few genuine winning chances this year and a long tail of outsiders most of whom are long odds to even run in the top ten.

The key things we look for are winning form, either last start or this time in, or at least genuinely getting into the finish – so close seconds and thirds, rather than running on from well back to run a fourth or fifth (cause these horses invariably do the same thing in the Melbourne Cup). Ability to run a strong 3200M is a big plus, as is being able to settle in the first half of the field, it’s really hard to win a Melbourne Cup coming from the back of the field, dodging tired horses and giving those up front a big head start. We have put the international in brackets for those who are not currently trained in an Australian stable, but we don’t have as many this year and most of them we have seen before so we can line up this field pretty well.
We had an extremely fast speed in this race last year, but the speed this year looks dawdling at best and don’t think they are going to go very fast at all. There are two clear leaders in the 7-JUST FINE and the 12-OKITA SOUSHI, and the 9-ABSRUDE (FR) and 10-ATHABASCAN probably settle next in line from the 13-ONESMOOTHOPERATOR, 24-TRUST IN YOU and there is plenty of opportunity for those drawn wide to be ridden positively and to settle in a good position here. Don’t think they are going to go that fast and those dropping well back might face a task, well set up here for something with a good turn of foot to drop them early in the straight.

Runner by Runner comments:

1-VAUBAN (FR) is the highly rated international stayer to focus on for this year. He ran into the race on the home turn in this race last year and was leading early in the straight and looked the winner but stopped badly and faded to run 14th. He has continued his good overseas staying form since and definitely runs the 3200M. This is probably a much weaker race this year, but still think you need to be brave to have him as favourite this year, coming off such a poor run last year. Likely to race in first half dozen and they won’t go as fast this year and he will probably present at the top of the straight again, more concern is they might not go hard enough this year and something with a turn of foot might drop him early on in the straight. Have to rate him against these, but personally can’t really get involved from a punting point of view. Chance.

2-BUCKAROO looks to have the best traditional form-line claims to this race, the run in the Caulfield Cup was excellent when chasing down one that had kicked clear late and he probably wins that race if he got out earlier. Before that he had gone neck to neck to beat the outstanding Cox Plate winner in the Turnbull. So really you can’t have stronger form going into this race than this one. Really like the way he won the Underwood the start before that as well. So strong winning form coming into this race is a very big tick. International horse whose first couple of preparations in Australia were a little lack-lustre, but he has totally gone up another level this time in. Firm track should be fine. Drawn out and jockey probably needs to be aware here and be positive and go forward early to get a position – if he goes backwards think he has no chance (listen out for likely riding tactics). Horse can definitely win the race, but can the jockey? Jockey needs to atone for ride in this race last year. Lots of questions about him running a strong 3200M, but not sure this is a strong 3200M field regardless and they are probably not going to go that quickly here. If he settles in the first six or so he probably wins this with a class turn of foot. Strong chance.

3-CIRCLE OF FIRE is an import who excelled at this first Australian preparation (and very few of them do), winning a Sydney Cup wide and going forward on-speed in a strong staying contest. Been slowly building through his races and distances this spring, but really hasn’t shown much or been competitive. Drawn wide here and another who almost certainly drops back, but he may try and push forward wide early in the race and get up into a position. At least he runs a strong 3200M. Not impossible he runs top ten here but would need to improve dramatically to be in the finish. No.

4-WARP SPEED (JPN) is a Japanese stayer who is looking for firm ground and the 3200M and he gets both of these today. Drawn well and the Japanese horses actually have a much better strike rate in the Melbourne Cup than the European internationals. Not much interest in the betting market in the Caulfield Cup, and really didn’t do much there, and although drawn a nice barrier he tends to drop well back in his races so he might need some luck getting through the field in the straight off a slow tempo. Keep an eye on the betting market here for any moves, but still doesn’t look like punters are that interested. No.

5-KOVALICA looks ready to win a race, but he just needs to get into the right race. Won the QLD Derby as a 3YO, and almost won an Epsom last year, so he has a bit of ability when in the right race. Hasn’t won for 16 starts now, since the Derby victory. Seems to be back to best form this time in, he didn’t get clear running for much for the straight in the Epsom, and was good from well back to just miss in the Hill Stakes. Worked home well in the Cox Plate. Stable know what they are doing, but he has only had one run past 2000M in the two years since his QLD Derby win so does make you wonder what his best distance is – his best runs have been in the feature miles. What about 3200M? Another drawn wide and likely to drop back and think he should be far longer odds. No

6-SHARP’N’SMART looked the winner in the VRC Derby here in 2022 before he was just outstayed late by the (19). Been bouncing between NZ and Australia since then and mixing his form. Stable think they have got him right again and bought him over for a Cups campaign. MV Cup run was pleasing, he carried a big weight there and gave the rest of the field 4-5 kgs, he looked beaten and going backwards before the turn, but kept staying on and ground away to the line. Likely to have plenty of improvement to come from that run and seems to prefer firm ground. Suspect they will go forward here from the barrier too. Probably not a winning chance, but looks a good rough chance for wide trifectas.

7-JUST FINE is a bit of an enigma, coming into this race with a first-last form line. Looked to be going places spring last year with a string of strong on-speed wins, and then bombed out when came down to Melbourne. Had been struggling for form since, and then suddenly jumped out and led all the way to win the Bart Cummings here at long odds. Interesting to note there wasn’t that much betting interest last start in the MV Cup when he performed badly. The ride won the race here two starts back, the jockey stole the race and he only just held on at the line. Likely leader again here, but really hard to win over 3200M leading and still prefer this one over 2000M to be honest – think him running out the 3200M on-speed is a real doubt. Passing.

8-LAND LEGEND seems to be the forgotten horse of this race. International who has been going well in first preparation in Australia, winning the Metropolitan in a two-horse war with the (14) and then thought the Caulfield Cup run was actually pretty good, jockey let him go early about 600M out and he couldn’t sprint with the winner and looked to the battling on the home turn, but actually held ground pretty well in the straight. Still well beaten by the (2) though. Looks like he will run 3200M, winning form this time in, Caulfield Cup place getter, so ticks a lot of boxes, just another who needs a positive ride from a wide barrier here. He can settle handy so really hoping they go forward early, think he is a great each-way chance if they do. Chance.

9-ABSRUDE (FR) is another international visitor who ran in this race last year so at least we know he handles the trip and racing conditions. Came wide on the turn last year with the stablemate the (1) and both were under a hold and travelling and this one also stopped badly and dropped back to run 7th. Good barrier and likely to get a pretty good run again this year and he went better than his stablemate last year and would rate him above that one again. He probably gets the run of the race here so has to be respected and he probably presents again as the winner half-way down the straight. Local jockey a big plus as is a firm track. Hard to back with confidence after last year’s run but he is genuine chance and need to keep him safe in a weaker field this year. Chance.

10-ATHABASCAN has been around for a while now and is usually quite competitive in the right staying race. Ran second in the Archer here last year, and solid second in the Sydney Cup. Working through his races and distances this spring and at least he is coming into this race with winning staying form (even if it is in a much weaker race) unlike many of these. Best form has been on tracks with some give in them. Drawn well and can go forward here and not a winning chance, but a rough place chance with a soft run on-speed. Rough place.

11-KNIGHT’S CHOICE looked to be a stayer on the rise over the QLD winter with some strong staying performances, often at long odds. Four runs in the Melbourne spring campaign has been pretty ordinary, improved effort in the Bendigo Cup when weaving through the field in restricted room. Has been well beaten every start this time in though and this is harder again. Drawn well, but still likely to drop well back here and best they can hope for is a top ten finish. No.

12-OKITA SOUSHI came over as an international for the Caulfield and Melbourne Cup last year and didn’t do much, before being transferred to a local stable. This is his first local preparation and he has suddenly burst into form last two starts, sticking on for a good on-speed second at massive odds in the Herbert Power and then strong on-speed to win the MV Cup. Winning form coming into this race is a big tick. Distance should be no issue and will handle a firm track. Likely to go forward here and may even lead. Have to respect his form and he seems to be peaking at the right time. It’s pretty rare to go badly in this race one year and then come back and run well at another try, so would be a story to finish well back at $100 in 2023 and then come out and win in 2024. Chance.

13-ONESMOOTHOPERATOR ran into the race on the home turn in the Geelong Cup and totally dropped them, dashing away to win easily. Interesting most of his form is on synthetic tracks so shame they are not running the Melbourne Cup on a Thursday night at Pakenham. Local jockey on board and just seems to be perfectly set up for this race. He has had to undergo vet checks for a cut to right hind heel, but has been given the all-clear. Likely to race in the first few and the Geelong Cup win was really impressive and right in this race. Strong chance.

14-ZARDOZI is a pretty smart staying 4YO mare, they are usually best in the Caulfield Cup and it is 6 year old mares that go well in the Melbourne Cup. Only just beaten in the Metropolitan by the (8) and chased home well in the Caulfield Cup, but worth noting she actually didn’t go pass any of the horses in front of her on the turn. Very nice warm-up run here on Saturday burning home along the rails over 1600M and keep watching and see that she was actually in front after the line, so whilst the others had nothing left, she still had plenty still to give. Pretty sure this is the international jockeys first ride in this race? Form stats suggest she prefers a little give in the ground, so the firm track could be an issue here. Perfect barrier draw though to just go to sleep in the run and work through the field in the straight. Most likely to be in the finish, just prefer her as a place chance, but want to keep this one safe regardless.

15-SEA KING (GB) is an international who blitzed them to win in the Bendigo Cup. He took off there 600M from home out four wide and sustained a long hard run to lead into the straight and still burnt away from them – was an extremely impressive win. Looks a strong staying type who will run out the 3200M. International jockey on board who rode in this race last year and totally misjudged the speed going for home far too early. They took off early last start because he was over-racing, going to be very difficult to get him to settle from barrier 1 in a big field in a race where we suspect the speed might not be that fast. Likely to drop back too. Going to need a good ride and a bit of luck but definite chance if he settles and the gaps come. Chance.

16-VALIANT KING is an import who switched to a local stable off a good Caulfield Cup run last year. He hasn’t shown anything in three runs this preparation, dropping well back in the field each start and likely to do the same again here from an outside barrier. Would need an extraordinary dramatic improvement to be a factor here and he just hasn’t been competitive this spring. No.

17-FANCY MAN has been in Australia for a few seasons now and going along OK. Wasn’t competitive in the MV Cup last year coming off a QLD staying victory. Presented on the home turn in the Herbert Power two starts back at Caulfield and stuck on OK, and same again in the Caulfield Cup, when still beaten a long distance. Another who really hasn’t been competitive this time in, drawn outside and likely to drop back and hard to see him running out a strong 3200M under those conditions. No.

18-INTERPRETATION has some ability but has been mixing his form and has been hard to catch. Absolutely appalling record here at Flemington, 11 starts for one third. Won the Bendigo Cup last year and finished a very respectable 6th in this race last year, coming widest in the straight from well back (again its near impossible to win from back in the field in the Melbourne Cup). Didn’t show much first few runs this time in, but he had a freshen-up and looks to be starting to run into form as he gets out to a staying distance. Chased hard in a leader-dominated race in the Bart Cummings, and hit the line strongly to place in the Geelong Cup. Firm track suits this one as he doesn’t like it wet. Running into form this spring, proven he is up to this level and some rough chance here. Best rough in this race.

19-MANZOICE was strong to win the VRC Derby here in 2022 in a strong staying effort (and note the quinella from that race with the (6) is going around here). Has struggled for form since then and in fact hasn’t won a race since then. Managed to finally get into some finishes again this preparation going around in weaker races, but he has been well held last two and hard to see him being a factor here. Note drawn well and probably races forward here. Form not good enough though. No

20-MOSTLY CLOUDY seems to have been going around in these staying races most weeks for over a year now, and he is always well in the market but rarely produces. Good runs in both the Sydney and Brisbane Cups, both times he has settled well back and been strong to the line at the end of the 3200M. Was good late here two starts back and that was on an unsuitable heavy track, he is much better on dry ground. He just keeps whacking away at the end of his races and working home well but rarely gets into the finish. Drawn wide and likely to drop well back here, hard to see him being in the finish here coming from well back in a Melbourne Cup, but most likely works home well late to finish a well-beaten top six or so. No

21-POSITIVITY looked to be coming along nicely this spring, off some classic 3YO staying form last racing season. Two nice on-speed efforts to kick off this spring and then forgive the Flemington run when she dropped back from an outside barrier against her normal racing pattern and worked to the line well. We were keen on her in the MV Cup and she jumped and sat on-speed there and she was horrible and was the first horse beaten. Was SCR from Caulfield Cup before that with a hoof issue and she had synthetic hoof filler in last start. Firm track here won’t assist if there are any hoof issues and pretty hard to have on her recent form, likely to drop well back from an outside barrier. No.

22-SAINT GEORGE is an international in a smart local staying stable with no weight so worthy of consideration. Has been thereabouts in each run this time in, but think most punters were expecting a lot more after he was badly held up for runs first-up at Caulfield. He has had every chance last few starts and not really produced, guess the difference may be he is looking for more ground? Also has had slowly run races which may not have suited. Drawn well, and likely to stay the trip with no weight so has to go in the wider exotics for a place, but don’t think he has been going well enough this time in and hasn’t genuinely got into a finish. Rough place only.

23-THE MAP is a Flemington dry track stayer who has been set for this race since qualifying back here back in May. Won the 2800M race here on Cup Day last year in a canter and she is probably the first horse to run in the Melbourne Cup coming through that race? Flemington stats are excellent, and she really doesn’t show her best until she gets to 2500M and beyond. Aiming for an Adelaide trained Melbourne Cup off an Adelaide trained Derby on the weekend. They qualified for this race before the spring, so they have been able to take her slowly through her races this time in to peak today. Last two starts have only been fair, and she hasn’t really got into the finish and been competitive, but she also has been in restricted room both times and think she prefers to make long runs outside horses. Another who most likely drops back from an outside barrier. She is a good roughie for your wide trifectas, just get the feeling she will step up today, she definitely stays the trip and this isn’t the strongest Melbourne Cup field. Rough, rough chance.

24-TRUST IN YOU has got into the field courtesy of a stack of veterinary scratchings. NZ stayer who may be better on soft ground. He has been thereabouts in his last two runs in Sydney and stuck on pretty well in the Metropolitan (and he is well weighted against the top two from that race), before getting a dream run last start and not being good enough. Worth noting he does drop a massive 7.5 kgs here. Despite being the rank outsider of the field think you should put this one in your wide trifectas for a place, he is drawn well and can race handy, the speed here might not be the fastest and he just needs to plod away at the end of the race and probably runs better than the $151 odds suggests. Rough place.

Summary:

There are an awful lot of horses in this field who not only aren’t a winning chance, they are unlikely to even run in the Top Ten. Key to the race this year is going to be the speed, we don’t think they are going to go that fast and that sets it up for something settling handy with a good turn of foot to drop them at the top of the straight here and run away with the race. Which puts the 2-BUCKAROO as a clear top pick, he has by far the best form coming into this race, and has the class turn of foot, we just need the jockey to go forward here and try and settle in a good position from the wide barrier. If they do go forward he will be extremely hard to beat, if they drop back probably has very little chance. Should be a clear favourite, not sure if it’s the wide barrier or the 3200M that is holding punters back but expect him to be backed regardless. Main danger is the 13-ONESMOOTHOPERATOR coming off an impressive Geelong Cup win and drawn well to go forward, and everyone seems to have forgotten about the 8-LAND LEGEND who has been racing well and comes into this race with better form than many of these. Winning chances also to the 9-ABSRUDE (FR). Best roughie is the 18-INTERPRETATION who ran well in this race last year and has similar form this time in. This looks a good race this year for a wide trifecta with a few horses to win and going wide with the placings, definitely put the 14-ZARDOZI in for a place and the value place chances to blow out the dividend are the 23-THE MAP, 6-SHARP’N’SMART and 22-SAINT GEORGE.
