    I've gone for Red Cadeaux and Lost in the Moment, e/w.

    actually a couple of the betting sites last year were doing a deal 'Free $50 bet'

    once you sign up you were given a free win $50 bet (no E.W.) and you only get what you win

    I had the 3rd place horse last year and work mate got the winner - he made a good few $$

    here is a similar deal

    Jukebox Jury is the best horse in this race by a mile. But has alot of weight.

    My picks at longer prices would be Modun and Foxhunt.

    Shorter prices JJ and At First Sight.

    Usually the travelling group dont perform well though.

    At First Sight ticks more Melbourne Cup boxes than any other horse really.
    Ex Aidan O'Brien horse and step up in trip will bring about more improvement. Light weight and races in Australia so being used to the racing style also suits.

    Head says At First Sight

    Heart says Jukebox Jury.

    Sickened I'm going to miss this due to farmwork, but being honest I really couldnt afford it. It's an expensive day out.

    Next year for sure.
