Best Bets denote runners that stand out as the single best selection for their race. Strong Bets denote runners that are strong selections, but the separation between them and next best selection isn’t as strong. It’s not uncommon for us to recommend two Strong Selections for the same race. Quinella and Trifecta recommendations are made for races with multiple key chances.

Race 7 – Melbourne Cup
Once again, a really tough race to predict. You can make a case for and against every runner. Vauban trainer Willie Mullins is highly regarded and he will have learned a lot from last year’s failure. Many commented that Vauban didn’t look right on the day last year. Buckaroo has great form and perfect preparation, but has drawn a terrible barrier. Onemoothoperator has had good sectionals recently, but had a setback during the week with a cut heel. Zardozi has a good draw and likes Flemington. The horse is on a 3-day back up and faces 3200m for the first time. Sea King brings a good rating into this race, but barrier 1 likely won’t suit. Absurde ran well last year and was under the radar compared to stablemate Vauban. Land Legend has to be respected due to the Waller factor, but how well will it settle?
