Flemington

Race 7 Melbourne Cup

Suggested top 8 chances:

#13 Onesmoothoperator
$8.00
Import with advantage of run and smart rating win Geelong Cup lead up

#12 Okita Soushi
$12.00
Maher stayer, won lead up Moonee Valley Cup

#8 Land Legend
$12.00
Waller stayer, won Sydney distance run then questionable ride last start, can stay

#5 Kovalica
$23.00
Waller stayer, won QLD Derby, comes through high rating lead up runs and now steps out in trip which should suit

#2 Buckaroo
$7.00
Waller stayer, returned this prep gelded as a new horse, wide draw and question of it running the distance but stand out lead up runs

#1 Vauban
$7.00
Irish import ran in the race last yr, fav again, looks a better prep this campaign, its best is quality, has to be a concern if the track gets very dry and fast?

#15 Sea King
$15.00
Import with advantage of run and good rating win Bendigo Cup lead up

#9 Abursde
$12.00
Irish import ran in the race last yr, can run a distance, dry fast track a risk?

Happy to bet and back the top four, then try and work around the top 8 for trifecta and first 4 options:

Professional Horse Racing Tips for Australian Horse Racing

MrB is a long term long-term form student and punter who has joined our team in August 2022 to focus on the Spring carnival. His approach is simple, less should be more, a focus on his 4 best plays for a Saturday where the quality of form is at its best and well exposed. MrB does all his own work using a combination of ratings and time data, speed maps and video assessment to then look to isolate his best plays for the day. It is a personal, manual approach that looks to find a single key winning chance in a given race. We only bet on and around the form in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and on occasions Perth with a preference for fit on speed runners from good barrier draws being ridden by quality riders that look well placed in this next race to be a high percentage winning chance.
