2017 MELBOURNE CUP – RACE ANALYSIS AND TIPS
There should be good speed here with Cismontane and Gallante pushing forward.
British visitor MARMELO put the writing on the wall with an eye catcher in the Caulfield Cup and looks to have improved again. He is a Kergorlay Stakes winner in France which provided Cup winners Protectionist and Americain. Looks set to run very well.
Fellow import WALL OF FIRE has also had the benefit of a run here in a strong Herbert Power beating Caulfield Cup winner Boom Time home. Big danger.
HUMIDOR was brave in the Cox Plate just failing to catch champion mare Winx. Untried this trip but represents class and in a top stable.
ALMANDIN shoots for back to back Cups and apart from a last start failure has looked on track while the Joseph O’Brien trained REKINDLING is an improving three-year-old who comes off a solid St Leger effort similar to Mahler who was placed to Efficient.
