Two previous winners of the great race head the betting markets with 2010 winner Americain narrowly holding favouritism over 2011 winner, Dunaden. The smart money seems to suggest that the winner will come from these two, but with the highly rated Mount Athos as the genuine threat.
For those looking to form lead-up form, this year may be the exception to the rule. Americain and Dunaden both won the Geelong Cup as their lead up to the Melbourne Cup, but this year’s Geelong Cup winner, Gatewood, failed to make the Melbourne Cup field after a disappointing run in Saturday’s Lexus Stakes. The only runner to progress to the Melbourne Cup from this year’s Geelong Cup is another French hope, Tac de Boistron, currently a $67 chance. The Geelong Cup was certainly not run to suit this dour stayer and do not be suprised to see a far better showing on Tuesday.
