Best Bet Mr8 Gallante: Sydney cup winner on the way to Melbourne Cup who first up finished 2nd to Jameka with huge weight. Wary of import second wave but backing the proven form in.
Other bets
Mr5 Lady Le Fay : Superior form and ability looks a weight certainty.
Pr5 Final Salute: Respect to Sandalwood but backing race fitness and Pike to hold the edge.
Pr6 Agachar Cruz : They will go like scalded cats in this and banking on Cruz sitting right on their hammer from barrier two.
Pr8 Scales Of Justice: raced too fresh first up, perfect distance should redeem himself.
People are dropping off Hartnell in the cox plate like it's not breathing. I agree Winx is the hot favourite but stick firm with it's the only danger. It thrashed Jameka hard held. Hopefully the quinella will pay overs due to the strange knock on Hartnell.
