Melbourne Cup Update - Only 4 Days to Go!

Well it's nearly here! Remember when we were saying 49 days to go, 36 days to go, etc-and it all seemed so far away? Well we're nearly there folks! The big two miler at Flemington-the race that stops a nation is just four days away! Now we won't know the final field until after Saturdays racing when we've seen the SAAB Quality, The MacKinnon Stakes and even the VRC Derby winner?

Saturday will see many contenders lining up and trying to make a last ditch bid to qualify for a Cup start. Regardless of what happens, I'm sticking with Dizelle as my tip for the biog race. A proven stayer who has been running on resolutely at the end of her recent races, she gives every indication that she's now strong enough for the 3200m, (as opposed to last year). The two Japanese horses impress me, and of course you won't go far wrong if you're on either Yeats or Tawqeet. Dizelle for me though at around 14/1!
