Sometimes it’s best to leave it to the experts. When it comes to tipping a winner of Tuesday’s Melbourne Cup, that might just be the case.
From former winners – both jockeys and trainers – to top journalists and professional tipsters, we’ve compiled a list of expert tips for the “race that stops the nation”. There’s plenty of love for the favourite Vauban, especially after drawing a favourable barrier three for the 3200m trip around Flemington.
