Melbourne Cup Day Tickets On Sale Now 0-58 Handicap 1000m Track: GOOD 4 Clouds (Max: 16) Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.25).
Strong early tempo with Kamchatka, Debit Credit and First Division leading the way. INDEPENDENT (1) ran a cracker first-up and looks to have come better than last campaign, so treating him cautiously. THE LAST JUDGEMENT (5) has been consistent of late and this is no tougher, with the draw further aiding his prospects. MORE IMPORTANCE (18) is hard to have on his past two efforts but they were on Form tracks and is drawn well here. FIRST DIVISION (14) rarely runs poorly, has a tricky draw, but gets in well after the claim. SUGGESTED PLAY: Independent on top.
