We analyse how Tuesday’s Melbourne Cup might be run and won, what tactics some of the key jockeys might adopt and who the top five winning chances are for the $8.4 million race.
The Age’s chief racing writer Damien Ractliffe sat down with leading form analyst Hayden Byrne to discuss how Tuesday’s Melbourne Cup might be run and won, what tactics some of the key jockeys might adopt, and just who the top five winning chances are for the $8.4 million race.The gates open, and they’re off in the 2023 Melbourne Cup! Serpentine and Future History are expected to push forward and take up on-speed roles, with Lastotchka also likely to press forward early.
The question mark is Soulcombe . How fast can he get away? Drawn barrier four, he’ll be standing there for a while, thinking about life before the gates open. Regardless, we can expect him back in the field, and Joao Moreira will have to try and follow every move McDonald makes on Gold Trip.
