The Melbourne Cup is one of the hardest races in Australia to make money off excluding the Makybe Diva era. 24 runners, huge international contingent, many unseen until the big day. It would be unaustralian to not have a crack however so here we go.
No6 Hartnell; The Fav is the best horse in this race no doubt. The worry is the very end of the 3200m especially if it pulls in running. If it settles I can't get the Turnball stakes run out of my head when it destroyed them including Jameka still under a hold.
No 20 Oceanographer: The second fav has been heavily supported as predicted by yours truly after two ultra impressive efforts in Australia. Will relish the extra distance and be the one storming over the top of them.
No13 Heartbreak City my value choice is an out and out stayer with a good turn of foot, perfect for a Melbourne cup.
There is a massive jackpot on the first four which will take some getting but with flexi betting you can get a small percentage of a massive dividend for a smallish outlay.
1st 6 20
2nd 6 12 13 17 20
3rd 6 8 12 13 17 19 20
4th 1 6 8 9 12 13 17 18 19 20 23
A $1 unit would cost $320 , $50 would get you 15%
Good Luck Punters, enjoy the day and back winners.
